[tramp_drift240]

100 bucks shipped.

[s13beast]

ok so i went back today. The brakes were gone. It had been sitting there for 1, ONE day. But i did get the lsd. I was by my self so it took a little while and it started POORING rain so i was laying all the way under the car with all my tools haha but i got it. He charged me 50$ even and said if the axles i needed were on one of their j30s then i could have them. But they werent.

bumb deal on the brake loss, that woulda been a steal and a half

[slideordie85]

i walked into a picknpull on day and nabbed a set of 30mm Z Brakes for $5 a caliper. I only got the fronts because they snaed the rears off to put steelies on?

not bad if you ask me though.

[gregfarz78]

Good deal, most of the stuff people sell in the classifieds here is overpriced anyway I always find better deals locally or in a junkyard

[IDRFT95S14]

i still dont believe you on some of those prices,i bought a j30 vlsd w/axles and everything and paid 100

[aaronscomp]

nice the other day i got a evo 3 big 16g turbo with no shaft play for $50

barnyard treasures??

[Steady_One_S13]

I'm not so fortunate. The top [El Paso] salvage junkyard owners are stingy people. Most are Arab folks making a killing on parts. The Q45 front calipers cost me 60 bucks a pop. The desert life here doesn't make it any easier. Sand and debris often find its way into parts, and i often argue my way out of paying for something pricey, contaminated by the elements. Yet some guys are cool, because I'm a regular.

I find that once you're a "regular" you do get much better prices. Yards without standard price lists are the best. I got a perfect dash for my 240 for $2o and a like new gas tank for $15 from one yard. It did have a "price list" but both prices were $10 under the list price because they knew me.

Threadjack... sorry...You ever have any meets in the area?

[breadbox]

yeah some yards are cool but others just blow because of the owners.

I went to a yard to get a lip for a friend and I tried grabbing all the teardrop center caps and home boy wanted $5 a pop for center caps of wheels most people hate. I offered like $10 for the set and he said no. People are dumb.

[Steady_One_S13]

You know the funny thing is, a lot of these owners walk around the yard or office with a gangster roll of money in their pockets. I'm telling you, they make a killing everyday.

I mean weekly hang outs.

[240sx_in_209]

dam lucky, I remember last year during the Superbowl sunday the pick n pull had half off i found a set of 300zx rear 5 lug hubs for 15 bucks for both, also for like two weeks, i found a set of 300zx front caliper rear calipers and the hubs all for like 120, next day sold the rears for 100. Then a couple of days later i found an deal on craigslist for 300zx caliper, rotors and brake lines for 100 bucks. So after than i have been on a cold streak have not found anything good in a while

[Steady_One_S13]

^Cool beans! True, good finds come short.

[240sx_in_209]

is it me, or does anyone never find something when they are looking for it. I was looking for some ka24de injectors i looked everywere, and could not find anything then i bought a new one. Next time i went to pick n pull i found like 2 cars with them. And now im looking for the rear bumper reinforcement for a coupe and cant FIND SHI.T!!!!

[Steady_One_S13]

It happens all the time.

[SullivanRacing06]

scored a q45 rear end for 25, and 2 q45 mafs for 10 a piece, if your a regular and the desk person knows your face you will DEF get better prices

[s13beast]

True that. Im up there all the time. we have 3 s13s and two s14s. they are pretty dominated tho. It also had the z32 wheels for 10 each with tires. but i passed them up. Dont need them.
