Do any Newcastle Nissan dealerships retail Nismo parts?

Yes, I could ring around, but thought I'd ask just in case someone here had a friend/mate/contact/whatever at Nissan rather than the standard parts department blank look that says "You've got to be kidding, right?"

Any info/tips appreciated.

Mark

What do you need?? Depends what you are looking for from the Nissan catalogue. Kloster parts stock/have bits and pieces available ex-Japan for import Nissan's but the main place to get Nismo parts would be Unique Autosports in Sydney. www.nismo.com.au

Hey the 19th sounds pretty good, La Porchetta aye.....show of hands? we can either meet up at the twin shells at wallsend or at spears point park. Would also be good to meet up with the sydney guys at their exit, then we can cruise in as one group, sound good?

Hey chris there is a charity cruise on this sunday, so you maybe could make that one :P

Thanks for the info guys. I was looking at Nismo S-tune suspension kits. I've looked at the UAS site and I'll get in touch with John. I hadn't considered Powerplay, thanks for the tip.

I'll see how I go with Kloster.

boj01: When you do your P's, practice lots and hire a CB250! If you want to know the distances for the P's test, either get a few hrs private tuition at Adamstown or send a PM. Btw When I did my P's at the start of last year, it was pouring rain, and 2/6 people on the course crashed out during the brake test!....It was rough watching that happen, and then they called my name next!

Hey. I used to live in Newy. On the Gold Coast at the moment but will be moving back early February so i'll be cruising into the foreshore to have a look around. I'll be up for any cruises after then, it would be good to meet up with some new people.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
