It would seem that way, nearly as dear lol...

But no unfortunately, that is the correct price... actually it is cheaper than the nissan dealer..

If you want a real shock, suss out the price on the knock sensor... at trade price in aud it is $342..

I've not checked (being that I have 2 of these), but can't you get these from the regular old parts stores?

I mean holy crap - I bought my whole ca18det off of ebay for about the same price...

That guy always has parts at a premium. I just stopped looking at his auctions.

Sometimes he does have really good stuff, but it's all at a premium. Boop...

It says he has 50 available. He probably has all of them now, and can charge whatever he wants.

Exactly! Dump that factory stuff and get a standalone. SOOOOO much easier to tune with, yet so expandable. I made the transistion in 2001 and haven't looked back or blown and engine since tuning with a standalone. His prices are ridiculous! So ridiculous that I avoid his auctions as well.
