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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
