Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is it normal for nissan to charge like a wounded bull

priced diff plugs and wheel studs today

$22.50ec for diff plugs

$80 for a set of 6 wheel studs

YES!!! Looked at getting a new dizzy tb42 carby, wanted something over $1000, $2.50 for each of those little clips that hold your grill on, i think there are about 12, and they snap again in less than 12 months (cable ties rock!) I'm sure there are other things that ive priced, but dont remember cauz i didn't pay them!

marin

p.s. every so often they do have a price that is on par with repco etc.

with the grill clips, i replaced mine with those small square plastic plugs, that you can screw into, it holds the grill on much tighter,

wheel nuts are cheaper from the local tyre place, and diff plugs are cheaper at a wreakers, most aree still in good nick as they hardly get used,

Try $700 a side (YES A SIDE) for genuine free wheeling hubs. Even the nissan dude was surprised or at least seemed to be.

AVM $220.00 a set

Guess what my trucks wearing

AVM isnt as strong as geniune..

ive blown up aftermarket hubs before and the geniune ones are harder to break.

put a big grub screw in its place, couldn't cost more then a few $$, never cheched the thread but if its bsp a brass fitting will be fine

Just replace your wheel studs and nuts, think they were $30 for 6.

Go with the captive nuts they use on computer cabinets. they clip straight in and come with plastic washers, and good screws.

Try this for expensive. I hate Nissan. They continue to keep their prices high, when Toyota has just dropped their parts prices dramaticly so they can compete with aftermakret parts (In NZ anyway)

front and rear 4.6 ring and pinion (geniune) $3183.43NZ

Manual locking freewheeling hubs (geniune) $1850.96NZ


You can buy a whole parts truck for that!!!!

So if anyone has some 4.6 ratios for the front and rear of an MK (h233b lsd and c220) and are willing to ship to NZ PM me)

As i have a 89' GQ, one thing I have been doing to Seeing How much Nissan charge and then seeing how much the Ford (maverick) part is (if they have an equivalent) 9 time out of 10 Ford have been cheaper

Same with my GQ, I have an RB30 motor, Skyline/Commodore and Holden are 30 to 50% cheaper for the same bit, eg Timing belts and tensioner bearing etc.

From my experiences yesterday I'd have to say that it's also normal for the Nissan parts guys to have no f'ing idea what they are talking about, also...

Lucky you dont drive a TD5 Landy - mate used to work for Websters, said its $9480 for a bare head...

that would depend on 234239048 different things
1 being how long he had worked there.. having worked in spareparts, it isnt an easy job to just jump into... every make, model etc are different.

local nissan dealer in frankston had 2 great blokes brett and george.. worked there 10 yrs+ ea, knew every make, model, and usually part #'s and if they had em in stock. they both left :(

ok just went to repco and got 12 wheel studs $5 each .. and a rear rotar for a $100

WTF? When I called Ford they told me to call Nissan as they have never stocked parts for the maverick. Makes sense since every part on my car has nissan written on it somewhere. Which ford dealer still has parts mate??

2 dealers I tried when on a trip laughed at me, hadnt stocked mav parts in years...

It`s true that Toyota have dropped prices. Here in UK Nissan Patrol prices are shocking. They are a shower of robbing bastards! I love my big truck but that is one reason old Patrols aint worth anything here ( rust is the other). There is a rubber cup that sits in top of front coil......Nissan wanted £25.oo for one. Fuck you I`ll turn it round mate. Ive owned Jaguar BMW Merc, all old ones which needed plenty spares but I`ve never paid this kind of money for spares in my life. £ 5.00 each for m12 exhaust nuts .
Alex

they stock fuk all for nissan ... and they don't know the difference between a GQ and GU CV

No genuine Nissan,Toyota,Rover etc are ever cheap. All parts no matter how small are expensive. Pulsar/Pintara's have the same wheel nuts as the Patrol..
