Prices for 9 bolt gears

Is $225 a good price for a new 3.70 ring and pinion for a 9 bolt?

Do a search on the internet and compare prices.

Yea that's a great price, now cough up your source!
I started to post a request for sources for 9-bolt ring&pinion gear sets. All I hear is "they're hard to find" or "do an internet search".
OK! JEGS has ZERO. Summit has ONE for $432.99. 9BOLT.COM has 3.7x for $475 with install kit or some used sets with chipped teeth. Where does EVERYBODY get theirs?

Thats a great price. If I could get them for that price I'd probably be alot more into 9bolts. The only source I know of is 9bolt.com but from what I hear it can take a long time to get in touch with the people that run it and get the order processed. I flat out refuse to pay the prices I've been seeing so its been a major turnoff for non OEM 9bolts parts. Best gears I've found were out of a OEM 9bolt in the yard, the 3.2x series. Earlier T5 cars had 3.4x series gears, you might be able to find em if you get lucky. Anything higher is special order and you run into the problem with the prices.

I've heard you can still get them directly from Australia for pretty cheap. There was a post on here about it. The problem is contacting the company (which now is under a different name than Borg Warner) and getting the parts shipped. Another possibility for cheaper gears is finding them used in Australia as OEM equipment, the Nissan Skyline R31 (old model) had 3.7x gears stock made by Borg Warner and its been said those gears are a direct drop in to our 9bolts rearends.

C'mon, toss out some URLs.
I can't get to an Australian junkyard in the near future.
I'm looking for a set of 4.10s and I know Richmond Gears makes them.
If I can find a set reasonable I'll sell my 3.27 set right here for someone stuck with 2.70s for $100.

Nobody can make it to an Australian junkyard anytime soon and there is no info on the Internet. This is why nobody knows. If you find out, let us know.

I have found 3 more sources for gears, not including one selling sets from an aussie junkyard on the internet. I still can't find the ones higher than 3.70, even though I know they exist. I'm still looking and finding. When I hit pay-dirt I'll post...right after I order one set for me .

The 3.70 will be new gears. The 3.27 are out of a rear end I scrapped.
