R33 Missing interior bits & replacement

[go_nuts]

(Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section but there isn't a sub-forum for interior so I guess this should suffice. Feel free to move it elsewhere mods if you think there's somewhere else more appropriate for this).

Just got my R33 back from compliance and I've noticed there's something missing - on the back of the center console, on each side there is a fastener/screw/whatever to secure the center console from its place. At the moment it's disappeared. Now my question is, does anyone know what's suppose to be there and besides getting a replacement from Nissan, does anyone knows where else I could get it?

At the moment whenever I go thru a rather large speed hump, the whole console jumps as well and it's annoying. Don't tell me to go back to the compliance workshop and argue as I have done just that with no results.

Sorry for the rather long-ish post but any help appreciated.

Thanks

My friend, you've panicked too much. hehehe, it's just simply one screw on either side. about where your back rest is. Cost ya $2 over at mitre 10 etc.

hope I was helpful

Hehe, read my nick - "go_nuts" I just went nuts last night when I flied thru a speed hump (oops) and my mate that sit on the back said "your console is flying too"..I just went out and check, no it doesn't looks like a screw as it's long-ish oval shaped.

I've just tried sticking in screws there and they don't really wanna stay at all. Maybe I gotta pull FAST out and work out the part number for it and get it from Nissan.

trust me dude, it's one screw on either side. can anyone else with a digi cam show this poor fellar. sorry, i don't have camera. I just went and checked again to be sure, and it is a screw. I have a sII gtst

Its a screw on either side. Pulled it out about a million times myself on my old car when installing various things.

Yeah it turns out to be a pretty damn big screw with a washer - cost me $2.05 from my local Nissan dealer....if the guy was willing to show me the damn thing before i paid for it, I'd probably just rock down to Bunnings or Mitre 10 and get that for 1/3 of the price!

At least the thing isn't about to fly outta its spot any time soon so I'm one happy chap.

Problem with Bunnings is that they only sell all that shite in bigger packets. It sucks having to buy 50 screws when you only need like 4!
