Nissan cross parts

[Shojin]

Hi, i was wondering if there is a website or something similar that show you the parts that can be used across various models. E.g. Can i use s14 cat in a r33 gtst(ECR33) RB25DET?

Someone else might be able to chime in with something more useful, but you can kind of do this by using this website:

It has all the exploded diagrams that help you find the part numbers. You can then google the part numbers and see what cars they used that part on. Bit clunky and can be somewhat confusing to find the diagram or part you want, but it helps. Of course this only tells you if the part is identical - you might for example have a different cat on each model but they could still have the same bolt pattern and length and be somewhat interchangeable. For that sort of thing forums like this are great - have a search and see if anyone has already found an answer, and if not ask and some incredibly knowledgeable person will usually come along to help.

It's definitely worth looking around for parts though. As an example I replaced the coil packs on my RB26, and found them half the price in the UAE. Apparently that part is common to several Nissan engines from the period and they stocked them there for a Patrol or something that used them. You do also want to be careful, as some parts will bolt on but won't work as well as the correct part, or they look the same but thread sizes are different etc.

If you're talking aftermarket parts, most of the major sellers are pretty good about either having one listing if the part fits multiple cars, or you can find the part number and search to see what else it fits as above.

Hope that helps!

We could really do with a list on this site. Would be great to get some people to contribute to a topic, theres more than enough info, just needs to be collated.
