Where to get New Spare parts??? (Apart From Nissan)


Recommended Posts

hey,

I am sick of going to the nissan dealerships, and paying out the ass prices, for simple things such as rubber hoses, clips, bolts, etc.

All i needed was a simple door lock seal. probly worth a bout 2 cents, and the pricks go, nah i am sorry, you will have to buy the whole door lock, and that will be $98 UNCODED!!!

haha, so i am not going there again....

What other spare parts places, are much cheaper, and actaully know what they are talking about. WHen the nissan dealership man, doesn't know if an rb25det is single cam or twin cam, you know theres something wrong.

I know of repco, but they normally dont stock import parts.

Must a place in eastern or south eastern suburbs which will sell some of the import stuff, like heater hoses, seals, gaskets, belts,..... etc.

I am more after heater hoses at the moment.

cheers

Repco does know of some import parts, but usually its a matter of finding the aussie Nissan that the parts match for.. unfortunately they're not very good at that. If you do pester them often they *can* find the correct parts, but they have to call into head office which sometimes can work as some up there seem to know about imports (they at least knew what an RB25DET was)

I recommend you try one of the overseas places like nengun http://www.nengun.siteblast.com/, if you give them a part number they should be able to use their japanese connections to find it for you at a reasonable price brand new.

Justjap in sydney - www.justjap.com seems to have most parts I've asked for, although they are not the cheapest.

HA! repco.

Pfft. they idiots.

I went in there... sparkies for an RB25DET mate.

what's that... well... an engine (derr) for an R33 skyline.

NAh mate, not here. You need to get a plug out and bring it here then we 'may' be able to match it.

Pity i drove my car there.

anywayz, it was a HKS plug... but low and behold they couldn't work it out!

moral of the story... unless the guy behind the counter OWNS or knows someone that OWNS a skyline, they'll have diddly squat of an idea.

They pointed me in the direction of right spark plugs.. said "hmmm, have no idea what you are talking about.. whats an RB25DET".. they got on the phone to central office and minute later.. "oh they say you need these"

fool u can et ngk 0.8 platium for $15 each trade price going through a work shop.

i know that denham YOU idiot.

i've worked it out later that day with a mates help and got normal NGK 1.1's... and gapped them to .9

for a TOTAL of $15... not worth going platinums at this stage.

dont worry... i'm not useless.

Also try Renew in dandy they got heaps of second hand parts i ended up gettin my mirror for 150 when other places were askin 200 !!

u can ge iridium in 0.8mm 2

yes yes yes.

think they are in bayswater

need a throttle cable off a r31. bleed the brakes, battery to the boot, and away we go!!!.

ended up getting some heater hoses from autobarn. they had a hole heap of em. i just git some straight ones with a 90 degree bend on the end.

seem to be doing the trick...

I dont know why Repco would have to call 'cetral office' or tell you to bring in a sample of the plug... IF they look in the New Zeland NGK book.. they have most of the import listings in there...

so just tell em to look in that book if they look at you stupid...

I work in spare parts in springvale.. and 80% of customers work on imports.. they must have just been lazy

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
