Peter Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Everyone! In the process of doing a DIY door repair (panel beat, bog, sand, paint etc.) due to a recent car park incident whilst I was away from my car (no note left etc of course!). So I have taken all the door apart (it's the passenger door on a R33 Coupe BTW), and went to remove the handle - SNAP - broke the orange plastic clip which holds the door handle to the rod, which operates the door latch.... ....without this you can't open the door from the outside! I think second hand ones from the wreckers are out, as the plastic is so brittle, when you try and prise them out, they also break... Can anyone recommend a place to get new ones? Such a little piece of plastic, but yet so important! I have included two photos for viewing pleasure!

xtc Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 its a workshop mainly focusing on aftermarket imports/halfcuts so they have a lot of spart parts for 180/skylines/supras etc. their number is in the consolidation thread. ask for ben. prices are cheap as majority are secondhand.

NA_Goodness Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 KYP will try and sell you the whole handle. Your best bet would be Nissan I think. I've replaced that part on a Hyundai Excel, not too hard if I remember correctly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/243065-door-handle-latch-plastic-clip-where-to-find-replacement-in-perth/#findComment-4243336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion Rhys. Nissan was very helpful and ordered in two in for me, but they were both the wrong type (they were used in different parts of the door mechanism). They then took down my chasis, model number etc. and put it into their computer...as far as they could see it comes as part of the handle assembly, and is not a separate item So....Kev (kevr32gtst), I am wondering if you have the correct one can I buy one of you please? I have nearly finished up my door repair, and would like my handle to work again...
