hey everyone, thanks for your help about the timing belt ! it was snapped and we replced it only to find the car still running like shit ! have since ripped the head off, the pistons are fine but 2 vales are bent, we are wondering where to get them from in perth if possible? there is nowhere up here that will touch it. After we get them a mechanic up here can put them in ! has anyone bought any from perth, we can only find a place in new south wales that sell them seperately for $60 each??

any ideas also on a head gasket under $400 would be great too!!

cheers guys!

( and the reason is we were living in augusta working out of geraldton, now we are living in gero but augusta is home town )

Have you tried nissan ?

I had to go though the same thing, I went to my local nissan and they didn't want to help me saying they couldn't find the part numbers. So I rang around and found these blokes

Metro nissan

this is the email for their spares dept.

[email protected]

They're located in brisbane but were willing to send . I just got

these part numbers of them and got them through my local dealer.

INLET VALVE.............13201-08U02

VRS SET .............11042-17U27

the valves cost me $22 ea

and the VRS was $280

Hope this helps

if you bent valves, you may need to replace valve stem seals and valve guides, reface the valves. skim the head (cos its alloy) etc

If you are willing to send them to perth, I can highly recommend Heinz engineering - do excellent work (and get em to give a port whilst they have em)

good luck

hey, thanks

we took your advice and took the part numbers to our nissan dealer, they had to take down our compliance plates and vin and engine numbers and email them to nsw who emailed them to japan to get the part number for the exhaust valves, head gasket, exhaust gasket and valve stem seals!

valves are $25 each ( 4 needed)

head gasket $106

exhaust gasket $98

and each stem seal is $12.50 ! ( x 24)

and the mechanic is charging $390 to shave head clean and check all valves and whatever else he does and then put all the new valves and seals back in ! then we bring it home and put it all back together and it goes like a beasto! (were hoping) and then we have to sell it cos were expecting a little girl at the end of Feb! prams and bub wont fit in fast car! rod is spewin but hes way excited about bubs so it doesnt matter (new stage in life coming right up)! commodore or pajero, here we come !

a big job ! parts are coming from over from over east should be here tuesday! will let ya's know !

thanks for your help, woulda been in tha shit if u hadnt of given us the numbers!
