Parts

[cattivo_69]

Hey guyz

Im in the running to get an R32 GTS-T

Now just curious i know parts arnt always easy to find.. however normal service parts such as oil filter, fuel filter, air filter etc are these parts avaliable???

If so will most spare parts shops stock these??

And for my second question...

If say water pump or timing belt needs replacing where would i find these parts

Thanks

The air filter is the same panel as a Commodore.

Oil Filter, I think, is the same as the R31 (Ryco 145A).

Fuel filter is the same as some other Nissan (can't recall which one, but easily obtainable thru Autobarn, etc).

Thermostat is the same as a VL Turbo (even comes in a nice "Nissan" box)

When all else fails, your friendly Nissan dealer can get any part you require, as long as you can quote the VIN at him.

hey,

we're in the same boat... looking at getting r32 gtst and depressed about expensive nissan parts and insurance for young drivers in imports....

i buy the following parts from supercheap auto:

- oil ($30)

- oil filter ($5)

- air filter (k&n sell for $120 there)

- fuel filter ($30)

- spark plugs ($3 each)

as for timing belt - i bought mine for $80 from my local nissan dealer

as for water pump - ditto above

servicing the transmission - i used a kit bought for $30 from repco

the times of 'can't find parts for imports' really have been passed now...

good luck with the purchase!
