I would be cautious about buying a knock-off kit...there is a reason they cost less and that's because most of them are of very poor quality. You may find the Nismo body kit for $800 somewhere but most likely you will end up spending as much as you would have if you bought the Nismo kit just trying to get it to fit properly.

The site for Erebuni is: http://www.erebuni.netI would be pretty wary of knock-offs though, just like "lucky" said.

Bomex makes excellent kits and the price is pretty good.

Bomex does make excellent kits that are affordable but they don't make knock-offs either. I say save your money and make your car faster :)

I don't think he meant with thebody kit and all that... I think he meant just the sengine swap alone costs that much...

Haha, no kidding man. $7,400 in American dollars is a stupid price for an SR, paintjob, and install.You can do those things for $5,000 flat anywhere in Canada, in Canadian dollars.

they gave me a quote for a s14 blacktop engine... and it said nothing about the bodykit, installing, and repainting... 7400 is the price for the installation...

they're rippin you off. thats worse than this place near me that tried to rip me off twice, just for maintanence (im lazy and not too mechanically inclined). they tried to make me pay $275 for replacing the thermal (fan) clutch. i bought the part for $40 and did it myself. today they tried to charge me $240 to replace my clutch master and slave cylinder.i told them i only wanted them to put in the clutch master and bleed the clutch, because i have a new master. they said they wouldnt use my part and that usually on these cars you need to replace the slave at the same time.

i was going to replace it myself, but the damn bolts wont come off, even after soaking them repetedly in WD-40.
