KS sensors and harness book at 5 hours so $425 to $625 depending on hourly rate. Now some dealers know up front that the removal process will destroy marginal hoses so they may add an hour or 2 UPFRONT to avoid suprises, obviously injectors and fuel hoses are a different but similar process.
Why years ago we use to just offer a FULL DAYS LABOR for $1,000 then you tipped the tech to work harder and faster.

An expert 15 year technican who works on Q45 every day [year in year out] can sometimes do 15+ bookhours in a single day if properly motivated witth extra cash.

Very very few places pay technicans salary [based on some average billed hours per week]. But then noone wants customers negotiating with their employees salary or not.

Its a shame that T3 did a way with that offer.

7-10 years ago I bought injectors, harnesses , KS, CAS, engine, transmissions, etc multi thousands of dollars worth of brand new Nissan parts on Ebay.

Important to decide when you buy a vehicle brand new, if you are going to keep it 20+ years or not waiting too long, the good parts disappear fast.

I recently purchased 2 new sets of shocks one for this weekend and the other for installation 4-5 years from now just in case they stop producing them.

Geez your Q45 parts stock pile must make mine look like trash. Glad to hear you will be with us for at least 4-5 more years.
