Do any Newcastle Nissan dealerships retail Nismo parts?

Yes, I could ring around, but thought I'd ask just in case someone here had a friend/mate/contact/whatever at Nissan rather than the standard parts department blank look that says "You've got to be kidding, right?"

Any info/tips appreciated.

Mark

What do you need?? Depends what you are looking for from the Nissan catalogue. Kloster parts stock/have bits and pieces available ex-Japan for import Nissan's but the main place to get Nismo parts would be Unique Autosports in Sydney. www.nismo.com.au

Hey the 19th sounds pretty good, La Porchetta aye.....show of hands? we can either meet up at the twin shells at wallsend or at spears point park. Would also be good to meet up with the sydney guys at their exit, then we can cruise in as one group, sound good?

Hey chris there is a charity cruise on this sunday, so you maybe could make that one :P

Thanks for the info guys. I was looking at Nismo S-tune suspension kits. I've looked at the UAS site and I'll get in touch with John. I hadn't considered Powerplay, thanks for the tip.

I'll see how I go with Kloster.

boj01: When you do your P's, practice lots and hire a CB250! If you want to know the distances for the P's test, either get a few hrs private tuition at Adamstown or send a PM. Btw When I did my P's at the start of last year, it was pouring rain, and 2/6 people on the course crashed out during the brake test!....It was rough watching that happen, and then they called my name next!

Hey. I used to live in Newy. On the Gold Coast at the moment but will be moving back early February so i'll be cruising into the foreshore to have a look around. I'll be up for any cruises after then, it would be good to meet up with some new people.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
