Door Handle / Latch Plastic Clip - Where To Find Replacement In Perth?

[Peter]

Hi Everyone!

In the process of doing a DIY door repair (panel beat, bog, sand, paint etc.) due to a recent car park incident whilst I was away from my car (no note left etc of course!). So I have taken all the door apart (it's the passenger door on a R33 Coupe BTW), and went to remove the handle - SNAP - broke the orange plastic clip which holds the door handle to the rod, which operates the door latch.... ....without this you can't open the door from the outside!

I think second hand ones from the wreckers are out, as the plastic is so brittle, when you try and prise them out, they also break...

Can anyone recommend a place to get new ones? Such a little piece of plastic, but yet so important!

I have included two photos for viewing pleasure!

Thanks,

Peter

give KYP a buzz.

[Peter]

Thanks Gazza I'll give them a call......

What is KYP xtc?

Thanks for your help!

its a workshop mainly focusing on aftermarket imports/halfcuts so they have a lot of spart parts for 180/skylines/supras etc. their number is in the consolidation thread. ask for ben. prices are cheap as majority are secondhand.

Ok, cool...thanks for the help...I'll follow up on the advice!

KYP will try and sell you the whole handle. Your best bet would be Nissan I think. I've replaced that part on a Hyundai Excel, not too hard if I remember correctly

[Peter]

Thanks Rhys...I've got tom off so I'll head out to Nissan as well on my run...

Cheers,

Pete

hey mate i might have some of those clips in my tool box at work let me know if you cant get 1

[Peter]

Thanks for the suggestion Rhys.

Nissan was very helpful and ordered in two in for me, but they were both the wrong type (they were used in different parts of the door mechanism). They then took down my chasis, model number etc. and put it into their computer...as far as they could see it comes as part of the handle assembly, and is not a separate item

So....Kev (kevr32gtst), I am wondering if you have the correct one can I buy one of you please? I have nearly finished up my door repair, and would like my handle to work again...

Thanks,

Pete
