Ricki Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi guys, I stacked my 350z (fairlady import) at the start of April. The garage have still not fixed it, as they need to import 2 parts, and they keep delaying. Just been told at least another 4 weeks! So, my question is, can they fit the standard UK 350z part on the Fairlady Import? The parts are: 1) Left rear axle member bracket, 2) Left rear upper control arm Any information would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Ricki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricki Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks. So is it exactly the same part, 100%? Why are they feeding me this crap about imported parts etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricki Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 oh, and how do I find big Phil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricki Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 No, its a private garage getting parts from a main dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 No, its a private garage getting parts from a main dealer In that case I feel a little sorry for the garage doing the work. Main dealers will order parts if they know what they are. Nissan are nororiously bad for supply lead in times to dealers. I am informed that it is not uncommon for dealers to source parts from some of the traders on here as they can get them quicker and I am sure cheaper.

AndySpak Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Always worth trying here too if you are struggling getting parts... http://www.breakeryard.com/ I've used them for parts on other cars but never on my Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 There maybe some differences in the rear setup of the car compared to a UK model. It depends on the year. The oldest JDM models had a different suspension setup that was revised for the Euro market. A breakers yard should easily have those parts. Most crashed Z's I've seen online have been front impact.

Ricki Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks. So will these differences effect the parts I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
