Nissan parts prices!!!!!

probably don't move many of them......other stuff is OK just OK. $21 for a radiator cap. But I just payed $90 for a small piece of cast alloy (thermo housing).

Jeeeez you can get a whole new clutch kit for that

If it's just a diaprhragm, I'd go the chemist and you may be able too get one under national health....:-)

Hi there Bilbo, geeez you could buy another patrol for that. he he he Only Kidding ya. Mate what a total rip off,as mentioned above you could get a total clutch kit supplied and fitted I'd reckon "maybe not by Nissan" So what do you do now, bet you cant get it after market ?? I doubt it. What is the price for the complete master cylinder. Where you located at ?? Should be able to get cheaper for you but I dont think I'd get $1200 off for you. What about a brake and clutch place maybe they know of how to repair the one you have got. I could imagine what you said to Nissan, WHAT THE F#%@ and a few other choice words. I'd hate to be on the other end of the phone when customers ring up poor bastards only reading out what's in front of them but yes I'm guilty of it as well. I know a few clutch, brake workshops and things around my area Penrith and St Marys, will try and find out why so dear and if can be repaired for you. Wont be till monday but going away for the weekend. Regards Steve M

Hire a manual Patrol for a day and swap it out;-)

I had to replace the MAF sensor above the airfilter and the guy at Nissan Myaree wanted to charge me $1300 for a $304 part, they're not bad

Damn and I thought it was dear $238.00 for a lockable fuel cap for my Holden Rodeo ........... I'm guessing your words were in the same vain as mine LOL ....... took months but picked one up from a wreckers for $15.00 plus a key cut of $7.50 all up $22.50 a damn side better for my pocket :)

$1300 for a rubber thingie .............. geezzzzzzzz

G'day Bilbo ,

what about just replacing the diaphragm ?

Try Perth Brake Parts. We get them to do rebuilds on parts that are no long available. Or imported parts.

Not justifying nissan's prices ( the person who sets the price must think of a number at random , times it by 2 then double that to get final figure )

BUT to set up manufacturing of an item will involve having dies made and machinery specially modified( made ) to suit - costs could easily exceed the price of a new 4 bedroom house

Setting up for manufacture isn't as easy as one would think

Hi Bilbo, Bevan was just talking to our mechanic and mentioned to him re your problem, he stated that Perth Brake Parts re-condition them for a fraction of the cost of the new one. I don't know if they would be able to help you or not, we have had nothing to do with them, (our mechanic does all our work, you know our knowledge in all things mechanical!!!!!)

Cheers

Hi Bilbo

Nissan are trying to make as much as Possible Now out of parts now as No One Is Buying the 3 liter diesel 4 wd sales have dropped right off.

Regards

How about $575 dollars to replace four mudflaps on an '06 Pathfinder that our Staffie pup took a fancy to.

$1300 ! One born every minute.

Prior to asking the price of a new one I already knew the price of a 2ndhand one - $165.00

It was out of curiosity that I phoned Nissan about a new one. I bet that guy's got a sore ear tonight!!

For a price of $1300.00 I'd do without and put up with a slightly sore foot in traffic or I'd make one!!

"Dunworkin" has seen my "immaculate" workshop and they know the marvels of engineering that can be brought to life in there!!

Mind you there's not many traffic lights between Perth and Marble Bar,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nissan rear bumper light $125 Replaced from wreckers $120 no choice
Nissan rear dummy light lens $178 Stuck coloured tape over hole 2 years ago.

Most things Nissan are horrendously expensive. But that goes for Toyota and Mitzi as well.

If you scrounge around however, you will always save some $ at an obscure workshop somewhere. Trouble is, how much fuel(or phone calls) will you waste finding the right place...lol

Cheers

It has always made me angry that we often have to buy a larger components, when all we want is something small - they have a captive market. Applies to many brands of vehicles.

When we needed to replaced the gear spline (sorry you mechanical people - i talk girl speak not mechanical speak), and the Toyota dealer checked the price of the non genuine price - he was stunned at the difference. The non genuine lasted for more kms than the original had.

When we shopped for spare radiator hoses and fan belt for the Patrol, we found one of the items (can't recall which it was) much cheaper genuine from a Nissan dealer, than from the cheaper chain auto parts stores. Never needed any of them anyway, unlike some of our earlier Cruisers.

We had a Landcruiser on which the radiator hoses kept splitting. Then we found the non genuine ones from a chain auto parts store were much stronger and lasted. Trouble was, we also had a different model Landcruiser, and the radiator hoses were even flimsier. It was a less common model, and we couldn't by them non genuine - and had to wait for ages for Toyota to get them from Japan. I was forever taping up the splits to get out of trouble.
