All AUD prices

Spoke to my CNC buddy and final price is $200 AUD
each machining finish comes off rubbing lightly with
scotchbrite pad otherwise 230 with anodising.

The material cost is $45 dollars
The machining use is $120 an hour
These take 3 hours each to get right

If you do the sums this is a bargain for each unit yet we
need a batch of 10 units for this price and he has programmed
for no writing so peeps can choose either Nissan, Datsun or blank
then if that works out Toyota peeps and other might be included
as the writing is done on the final phase or run.

He has spent around 20 hours setting it up already which he is
not charging for and there is no money to be made on both sides
for a batch of 10 or 20, I just want one so will be just happy
to have it match the era of my car and a bit more bling etc.

Those that are interested please put your name on the list
please dont PM me yet just put your name down and copy and paste
the other ones on the list with the number you want if more than one.

I will start with proceedings etc

O_O I would want one but then there's shipping to the USA and also just the price itself. Nice part though for all the ballers!

For an exact quotations go to

You can use the online calc with my postcode Melbourne 3000
then use your postcode and put in 340gsm or up to 500gsm
and 45cm x 5 cm x 20 cm or rough size of cover plate

Nissan ones are the most popular just had to get datsun for my old 68 b10
The nissan ones will have the lettering like this on both sides or just one
its up to the buyer the lettering is machined in last.
They can be ordered blank if peeps want to do some custom lettering

Blank would be cool, let people grind whatever they want in there.

My CA18DE S13 was faster than the AE86 CA18DET at the drag meet. The numbers don't add up, but there it is.

My A15 engined b10 beat every corolla on a chrome bumper cruise and drags, there was a 230hp 4age 20v and a turbo 360hp 4age that ended quite baffled by my simple mild quad bike setup, mild cam, pipes and electronic ignition, but in the end most of those owners are corolla-lasses behind the wheel

This talk of an A15 has me wanting to go back to my roots and build an E16 again, lol. I've got an A15 Mallory distributor modified for an E16, a 15M head with Nismo dual valve springs, twin side draft 44mm Mikunis on a manifold port matched to said head, and an Isky 270 duration/0.417" lift regrind (I know, too small of a cam ;) ), all of which I got a long time ago for dirt cheap and still haven't done anything with. *sigh* maybe some day #endrant

I was thinking either an N12 or an N13. N12 would be about 400lbs lighter, but I'm more familiar with the N13 by far and an N13 would be better for brake and suspension upgrades.
