Assuming the parts are on the shelf somewhere here in Japan, I can get them sent to you directly in 10 - 12 days via air mail. Not sure what the transit times are for anyone else but I'm able to assist if time is a factor. Pricing (in Japan) could be similar or a bit higher depending on the part.
Just putting it out there if you (or anyone) would prefer to deal with an SAU member.

Hey Rezz,

is there a Japanese online store that we can browse then send you a shopping list?

There's an online parts catalogue for older Nissan's here: https://partsfan.com/nissan/jp/

It can be changed to English at the top right of the page. Once you register your account you can look up your model (use the frame number, eg: HCR32-0014789 for best results) and then choose the parts as required.

If you send me your part number list I could have a go at compiling costs and reply back via personal message if you like? I don't mind doing the leg work. No obligation quoting of course.

I ended up buying an Australian delivered Infinity Q60.

Called in on my local Nissan dealer this morning.

They can only do an oil and filter change, maybe air filter...

No diagnostics and can't order parts bushes etc...

They said Springwood Nissan (2 hours away) are authorized to do diagnosis/parts etc.

Shocking that they don't support their own brand. (kind of)

Looks like I'll be buying from overseas.

Cheers

Dave

Sounds like a typical Nissan dealer response.  Of course they can do diagnostics, they just need a Consult 3+, which every Nissan workshop will have.  They just don't want to because they are lazy and don't want to deal with any issues that pop up which they aren't familiar with and don't want to work on cars they haven't has specific training on.

This is the list of workshops that used to be Infiniti workshops, and are therefore willing to help.

A few months back I had a failing Cam position sensor, As the car was off the road, I had to order online. And as it was closer to the end of week & wanted the part before the weekend, and if one fails, the other could go soon and it was >$100, I ordered two from two different suppliers, with both saying they were OEM. One came before the weekend, and it was an Italian manufacturer. The second came the following week, and it was the same italian manufacturer. When you check on-line its made by Hitachi (japanese); when fixing US G37's. 🙁

+ 1 for amayama.com . Ordered a couple of interior handle door caps for my CKV36 (my originals were all scratched up) and paid less (delivered) than what local wreckers were asking for second hand ones. 

My ones weren't looking that great. I put on a carbon fibre wrap. They look good and the black (its a dark carbon fibre) I think melds into the door better than the original finish; black interior in a black car.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
