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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
