The genuine ones are a minimum of $95 each on amayama. Jesse Streeter just quoted me $190 each. I can get a set of 6 MSD for $470 on ebay.

Thanks GTSBoy, Where is the best place to get them without having to pay massive Nissan Tax?

Hi All, I discovered last night my misfire was due to a failed coil pack. I've bought a replacement off of FleaBay but want to replace the full set. What's the best Brand/set? OEM or aftermarket?

Ok. It’s working. I only greased the worm drive gear though. I built an electric motor in high school and GTSBoy is correct there is no earth grounding point at No.5 just the 2 brushes. I thoroughly rinsed out any grease and grime with the contact cleaner. I don’t know how you managed to pull the brushes out to stretch the springs I couldn’t grab them even with pointy noses pliers and the graphite brushes felt soft and I didn’t want to damage them. So far it’s working again. I’ll report back here as soon as it stops, if it stops. Hopefully it lasts for 10 years. The drivers one gets the most use. My passenger one is fine though.

That spiral threaded bit is what turns the gears. What type of grease should I use on it?

Now I’ve polished it with silvo, I didn’t have braso, and rinsed it clean with contact cleaner. So after our long discussion, where should/shouldn’t I grease it and what grease do I use?

Ok, here’s the photos.

What ever he did it clearly worked. I’ll take it apart and re-clean it. Maybe I put too much grease or something in the wrong place. It did fix it for a week last time. I’ll take photos and put them here for advice/judgement 🤔

Haha love this conversation. holden and Toyota shared models, Commodore/Lexon Camry/Apolo Daiwoo was owned by Holden Hyundai was Nissan (I think) Kia is owned by Ford who also own Mazda BMW owns VW and a few other too I think. Nissan and Renault are apparently one of the same.

When I cleaned mine last time, the gaps between those contacts on the commutator was filled with the graphite dust from the brushes. That’s what I scrubbed out with WD40 and a tooth brush. I thought it was odd that there was no insulator in between the contacts. There was probably 1-2mm gap between each contact. Are you talking about the grease filling that gap?

Oh thank you, this is what they sold me at Repco 😬 I’ll go to JayCar today and get that other stuff then.

This is what I got this time. I’ll give a thorough clean and lube and let you know how I go.

Was it this stuff? https://www.jaycar.com.au/conductive-carbon-grease-50g/p/NA1034?pos=2&queryId=d2a5c5e0a31f2f7501cb0f9ac10c6b17

Thanks, Maybe I used the wrong grease. It was too long ago, but I’ll try again. I remember the contacts for the brushes were dirty AF. I cleaned them with WD40 and a tooth brush. Can you get replacement brushes from somewhere?

Hi everyone, My drivers side (front right) window hasn’t worked since I bought the car 3-4 years ago. I took the electric motor cover off and cleaned out all the dust and it worked for a week and stopped again. The previous owner said it hadn’t worked for years too. I asked the wreckers and they said they never have any of them because they break so frequently. Are $50-100 eBay/Amazon ones ok? Any other recommendations please?
