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

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.... :D ....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! :ninja:

Thanks,

Peter

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.

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... :banana:

Thanks,

Pete

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
