The local NIssan guys couldn't find this part (these are the black plastic attacher things that seem to hold most of the car together :blink:, specifically I need them for the front grill and bumper but they all look the same):

They wanted to start down the VIN number drama process but I thought it'd be way easier if I could find apart number.

Dunno which Nissan you are going to, but they all have 'em.

Even Frankston Nissan has those clips (and their service dept is next to useless - speaking from experience).

Take one in to the parts guys, they will bring out a whole box of those clips. They are used on all recent(ish) Nissans

You'd think huh. I live in the Nations Capital though and it's like living in the back of f$&*ng nowhere.

I took one in and he brough out one that looked similar but not the same. Then wanted vin and chassi number and moaned about these imports being very tricky even though I told him the clips are probably on every new car on the lot!

Nation's Capital by default.

That sounds like the typical narrow minded approach of 80% of Nissan Dealers.

Go elsewhere. There has to be more than one Nissan dealer in Canberra... I would assume?

Why not get Hornsby Nissan to send you a heap?

how many do you need and how much of a hurry

I found a couple of half good one's floating around in the boot storage and used those so I guess I need three (one's gone and two are loose) for the moment. It's holding together OK now with the found one's but I don't want to leave it like that for too long.

i will be able to get you three but it may take a week if you wanted to wait that long

Try 01553-09321

Should be the ones. :down:

Edit: Found some energy and went and pulled some out, they look pretty good to me. Any Nissan dealer should carry those clips.

Just depends what they charge for the little buggers *hint* $2.50 per clip is NOT satisfactory!

I've officially exhausted all my Nissan options in Canberra with no luck in obtaining what appears to be simple for the rest of Australia (including Tassie - no offence). I might as well drive to freakin Crookwell* for them!

*small Country town reference showing not that Crookwell is bad but that Canberra sucks ass for getting anything: Concerts, Movies and Car parts.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
