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

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
