A $400ish price is very reasonable for this product--especially considering how small the market is for this part.

I'm an engineer and have been working about 5 years. On a support contract, my company's external billing rate for my labor is $120/hour, so 3 months of my (full) time on a contract would cost just over $60k. ZSpeed will have to sell 150+ of these to bring in that much gross revenue. What are there, <5000 nismos out there?

Making parts like this isn't very profitable, but it's really a benefit for our community. Thanks for making it Joe. I don't need one, but if I do in the future I'll be giving you guys a call.
