Absolute cheapest place to get tune up parts?

I am looking to do a tune up--typical stuff, wires, cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter. I am having trouble finding cheap plug wires--or nice plug wires for cheap. So far the best I found is at Schuck's for $50. That isn't even name brand! So does anybody have a connection? I have found Accel wires for the VG30e, but they are only listed for engines up to '88. I don't know if there is a difference? Thank you for your help.

Cheapest QUALITY parts would be Napa. Don't buy SCHMUCKS crap unless you know EXACTLY what you are buying.

Make a list, I will get it for you (from Napa that is), but you'll have to make a trip to Issaquah.

Good site, Danny. The prices are a bit high, however. At least from my perspective. Perhaps I am thinking too low.

That would be awesome--but we have a Napa here on the island, so couldn't you just send it here?

yeah it's a little higher than the off the shelf stuff...but keep in mind you're getting the best (OEM) you can get for your maxima.

MrGone--

Let me get back to you on that. I have to figure out when I could get out there, and figure out the money I need.

Bainbridge. Sheesh. If you work in Seattle, maybe Shawn can meet you. But if I were him, I'd offer to buy the parts and charge you a small handling fee for shipping/hassle. Would still be alot cheaper.

Well aren't you the nice guy? Anyway, I start back up at college in two weeks, so that may be the best time, since I will be in the city everyday.
