Even doing the currency conversion, that's $160usd for a water pump. A new OEM water pump should be around $75usd or $110nz.

As far as what is necessary...a $60 set of gallery gaskets and some RVT. But, to everyone's point it would be a bad idea to have everything torn apart to replace those gaskets and not also replace the wear items while they are exposed. So what is necessary will be different based on the user. I would without a doubt replace the water pump and thermostat. If the chains, guides and tensioners look flawless I wouldn't judge someone for leaving them be if this was a weekend "I'm going to Starbucks" kind of car for you. If you plan to keep the car, drive it regularly or hard then yes. You should also replace the chains, tensioners, guides and oil pump gears. Those parts would run you about $1500nz. What was the labor quote, I don't see it included?
