    You won't get much change out of $40000 here.
    Nissan GTR is $91000 in States-$170000 here.
    And so it goes on.....comparing prices with O/S is pointless-EVERYTHING is much cheaper in the States.
    Get over it....

    We are highly axed and unlike most countries with GST, we also pay income tax... This of course hurts us...

    If you don't like APR prices go to Ian, if you don't like Ian's prices find a UK dealer willing to ship you the intake, If you still don't like the price of the intake consider another option.
    You can never call yourself a real enthusiast when you judge. When you mix the immature and mature, you get this car scene we have today. No matter what, every car is winning in their own ways. If you don't like a certain vehicle, just keep your mouth shut. No one needs to hear negative comments. Just enjoy everything.

    You can go all macgyver style on it... Some cellophane, rubber bands, sticky tape and garden hose should do it!

    They claim its due to shipping/customs/gst

    but seriously thats almost double the cost!

    Rennehaus use to sell it for $850 ..

    Direct import you could of had it in the $600s...

    Anyone else not annoyed at this price gouging?
    I bought mine from Ian.. APR are just taking people for a ride.. That's a insane price!
