Trying to track down two parts on behalf of my repairer that they're having trouble tracking down:

* R34 passenger side xenon headlight

* R34 drivers seat for a sedan (not sure if this is different to the coupe)

Drop me a PM if you know of where to source these or have them yourselves.

R34 front 4 door and 2 ddor seats are identical Jenna (I bought the leatherette covers ofr a coupe and they fitted my 4 door perfectly). The seat rails are however different - is the rail stuffed?

If they are repairing the car, shouldn't they get Geniune Nissan parts from Nissan. Instead of getting you (the client) to source out the parts on behalf of them?

I'd been told my the insurance assessor that the repairer was having dramas finding parts - so I figured I'd try here, and other sources to help out. Turns out he's already sourced the seat, so that doesn't matter - was just missed on the quote for some reason.

My big concern is apparently the assessor is wanting to repair the headlight because of the cost of a replacement. Apparently some mob in Melbourne can put a new glass front on it or something. My obvious concern here is how well that would match my existing headlight.

I would have thought it would be easier to source a local genuine xenon headlight that's been converted to H1, and use my parts to convert it back to xenon. I might have a chat with repairer about that tomorrow. I really don't want a 'dodgy'.

Genuine NIssan parts would make the cost of repair way too high, and the car would be economically written off by the assessor. Crash repairers put quotes together using a combination of new and used/reconditioned parts to make the repair affordable.

I had the same option to source parts when my car was being repaired (by the same repairer Jenna is using), as they will not order/source the parts until the car is in the workshop. If you can source parts, this helps speed things up, as sometimes the client may have better inside knowledge than the repairer. Plus, the parts you find can sometimes result in the repairer paying you for them :)

for the price you pay for insurance make them get genuine

As above Steve. ;)
