Hi all,

 

I am brand new to the forum, I live in Missoula, Montana, which is a long way from you but I am desperately looking for a discontinued part and Nissan USA is completely out. So I thought I would try to see if it was still in stock elsewhere.

 

I am specifically looking for a Left-hand recirc valve for my 1993 300zx TT. Part number 14483-40P05.

 

Mine is leaking to atmosphere.

 

I found it on online-parts.co.uk- for £177.10! I want it, but not at that price (nearly US$300, plus shipping). When they were still available here they were $103. If anyone has the website for any other UK based Nissan parts vendors, I can take it from there.

 

Or if you know where I can find one of these (at a reasonable price), that would be awesome.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Welcome to the forum mate.

Unfortunately when it comes to Zed parts in the UK, we are bent over and shafted on price as there isn't as much of a market as there is in the US or Japan.

You may be able to get what your after but certainly not at the same price as your used to.

Good luck on the search mate.

You could indeed drop Mike a line - but seeing as he sources a lot of parts from the USA in the first instance, he might be able to arrange something for you Stateside. You never know!

 

But as said above, the market for 300zx parts here is a fraction of the size of that in the USA - hence the reason we all buy parts from your side of the pond; as they are much cheaper over there!!

 

Good luck my friend,

If you can email me and let me know what you would want to get the LH one shipped to me I would really appreciate it. I would take both, but I have a suspicion that shipping won't be cheap.

Thank you!

Thank you!

They dont weigh a great deal so a pair shouldnt cost a massive amount ill try and get a price for you but surely ebay should yield results buddy and as funkysi said z1 may have used parts but if you want to buy mine thats fine too.

Veilside- Courtesy Nissan lets you order it on their website, and then you get a "Sorry mate" email a little later. Same thing with all the others.

 

Iangreenfield- The only one I found on Ebay was actually a wrecker in Surrey of all places. Only thing is the picture is a pretty beat up unit, and the email address for the business is a .ru domain. Not too comfortable with that.

 

Z1 had no used or new (spoke to them on the phone Friday) but I called again for giggles, now they think they have one but won't know for sure till someone goes to the other warehouse and checks on Saturday. So no rush on finding shipping costs, I hope to hear back from Z1 by Monday and am praying it will be good news.

 

Thank you all for your help and ideas! Honestly, I got more input from you guys than on the 300zxclub.com forum- which technically has 101,000 members, but only the same number of "active" users as your forum. Ironically I don't think Nissan even sold 101,000 of these cars in the US.

 

Will be updating as events unfold.
