30621-U0126 clutch slave cylinder repair kit

Mike is this for the 240z 260z 280z (excuse my ignorance)?

 

[Mr.F]

Sorry - yes for the S30 / S130 series. I'm even waiting on back order for the whole slave cylinders that I sell loads of!

 

[slaphead]

Have you actually got any left in stock and if so how much Mike

 

[Mr.F]

Repair kits cannot be ordered any more.
I am out of stock of slave cylinders, but should receive new stock soon...

 

[Mr.F]

When my (previously) large stock of U.K. specification indicator lenses ran out last week, I reordered from Nissan. Guess what? They are the latest "no longer available" item.
Part number 26131-E8100 for reference - specific to U.K. cars...

Also gone:
260Z door switch covers
260Z door lower bumpers
(sorry Wyn - you won't be getting these...)

Are S30 half-shaft dust boots and strut dust boots still available?

 

[Mr.F]

Are S30 half-shaft dust boots and strut dust boots still available?

Drive (half) shaft boots should be OK - I've had some fairly recently - last price was £13.13 + VAT each.
Only the 260Z had strut dust boots and I haven't ordered those for ages - probably because the last recorded price was over £45 + VAT each!
I can get up to date prices on Tuesday if you want...?

 

[morbias]

Holy hell, I think I'll look around for some cheapo strut boots on ebay that might fit!

I'll probably send you a PM or email a bit later with some more small bits I need, cheers Mike.

Mr F,
I brought my ones (OEM) from your American supplier, though that was a few years ago. May want to see if still available there...?

 

[Mr.F]

The purpose of this thread is to list official "no longer available" from Nissan in the U.K. Often I can cover deficiencies where there is USA market cross-over and, for some parts it is often cheaper to ship them half way round the world and back again than it is to buy from Nissan here!

On the NLA list today:

80595-46P00 Z32 convertible hood mechanism release knob...

Shouldn't upset too many customers with that one, although there is a design fault where the plastic thread very easily strips out of this item...

 

[Mr.F]

Latest NLAs:

76836-E8200 - quarter window inner weatherstrip, two seater S30 - this is covered by pattern parts assuming the weatherstrip kits ever come back on line again...

25080-21P00 oil temperature sender, late Z31

11060-01P01 water filler neck, Z31
11062-01P00 O-ring seal for above

 

[Mr.F]

Today's NLAs:

11720-V2000TM (and more recent variations on this part number) - fan belt for 260Z and 280ZX. Looking into a reliable replacement - most aftermarket versions don't work well as they bottom out in the pulleys.

93094-VP100 - "Nissan Fairlady Z" emblem for rear of '99 spec. Z32.

 

[richiep]

Christ Mike - these NLAs are getting depressing. They seem to be coming thick and fast...

Obviously a demonstration of why hoarding is a good idea...

 

[BenGT]

fan belt seems like quite a major part in terms of needing regular replacement etc!

 

[Mr.F]

these NLAs are getting depressing

They've always been coming to me on a regular basis - I just thought that it was a good idea to start documenting the flow systematically. Wherever possible I try to source alternatives, but some are what Nissan like to call "captive parts", i.e. never covered by the aftermarket suppliers.

 

[richiep]

It is eye-opening then, seeing the flow of NLA alerts. It going to be increasingly important to know about this stuff as the years continue to tick by...

 

[Mr.F]

Pretty serious one today - I suspected this one had gone some time ago, but officially confirmed with the dreaded NLA fax today:

13100-E3004 camshaft spray bar for early L6 engines

Blimey that is a biggie

That will mean we will have to reuse an item that has no means of disassembly (and therefore cannot be cleaned properly), and may very well be the reason for a rocker or cams demise in the first place, its almost ironic.

Ultrasonic cleaning may be an option to look into.
