Sale
prices prices are for new orders from USA and Canadian
customers. Sale prices are good on a foreign order if the
order is being shipped via United Parcel
Service.
New?
"New-Old-Stock?"
Parts
available include a mix of new and "new-old-stock"
(NOS) parts. With the exception of fast moving parts,
most of the parts made for any car are made when the car is
in production, and we exist on that oversupply until it is
exhausted. Parts we describe as "new" may be last months
production, or may actually be NOS parts that have not been
on a car, but have sat in a box for 10, 20, even 30+ years.
Nissan,
"OEM", Aftermarket, Reproduction
A "Nissan"
part is one that Nissan designed and built, or was built for
them by another manufacturer to Nissan's specifications. The
part has then gone through Nissan's parts system which may
include other quality checks, repackaging with other parts,
and/or reboxing.
An
"OEM"
part can be a Nissan part or could also be a part from one
of the same manufacturers that produced the part for Nissan
if built to the same specifications. There aren't many parts
available from these manufacturers that haven't gone through
Nissan's hands so this term usually just means a Nissan
part.
An
"Aftermarket"
part is one made by someone other than Nissan. The company
making the part may or may not be an "OEM" supplier to
Nissan. The part may or may not meet the same specifications
as the part they made for Nissan. Quality wise it may be
worse, the same or better than the original "Nissan"
part.
A
"Reproduction"
or "Repro"
part is that which is made usually after the original
supplies (both Nissan and aftermarket) are gone. They also
may be made to take advantage of more modern less expensive
production methods, or because the "original" design or
materials can be improved. Sometimes a repro part will
appear while the original parts are in production, due to a
defect in the original part.
The
lines between these are somewhat blurred. At times Nissan
will have a different manufacturer reproduce the part, in a
different format than it originally used. Is that a "OEM"
part or a "Repro" if Nissan itself contracts for the new
production?
Some
parts, Nissan included, will look completely different from
the original but perform the same function. One example is
the trend toward solid state modular relays to replace the
original 50's technology.
Quality
can be a problem with any of the above. Sadly there
are even Nissan parts that have not been made properly. It
is one of the problems that all specialty houses have to
deal with; checking and rechecking their parts. Sometimes
it's all that is available, so even the parts that are not
quite correct have a use. We try to describe these
situations when they come up, or if possible correct the
part ourselves.Hate to be too honest here, but remember, you
aren't driving some hand built Bugatti, it's just a churned
out product. If you don't like the quality of a NISSAN part
go tell Nissan not US! I didn't force you to go buy a
roadster eh? Usually the quality is quite good. Sometimes,
well...Keep in mind these are cars are 32-40 years old and
you should consider it fortunate you have ANYTHING to buy.
My 2¢.
Reconditioned,
Rebuilt, Remanufactured, Restored?
These
words mean virtually nothing anymore. One guy puts new
brushes in his starter and calls it "remanufactured."
Another replaces almost every single part in the starter and
calls it "rebuilt." If it is a part that we ourselves
dismantle and "repair" we will describe what has been done.
Our feelings are that the part should be brought back to
serviceable life. There is a line between cutting corners
and reworking the part to the point it is not sellable
pricewise. Again, wherever possible we will describe exactly
what has been done.

All
prices are "each" unless specified otherwise.
If
it says "1 of 6" that means the price is for 1 of the items
but the car has a total of 6 of the item.

We
use a form of shorthand to describe different model years of
cars. It may seem awkward at first, but you will probably
find it makes it easier to scan lists for things that fit
your car. This list is also shown on each parts category
page. Eventually these codes will also appear on our printed
pricelists as a reference. Applies to TRUE YEAR of car not
what may be on your title. INFO

Getting Around on the Site.
Almost
every page has a link to the HomePage. It is the "Rallye"
Octagon at the bottom of the page. On each section page like
"BRAKES", there are link buttons to the New Parts Index,
Used Parts Index etc. If you find you can't get somewhere
let me know. One of the things I have spent some time doing
is keeping the roads clear. Most people after a short time
get so they can bomb around pretty easily. Let me know if
you have problems, comments or suggestions!

When
a part number is shown but there is no price listed, it
indicates we feel the part is going to be available in the
future but there was no stock at the this time.
Unfortunately, it can also indicate that the supplys of the
part have recently run out and we don't yet know the future
stock situation. Item may still be available in a kit or
package. If so this information is listed in box with part
description. There may be an INFO

RETURN

Core
charges are a charge added to the parts cost which is
refundable when we receive your old part within 30 days.
This is most commonly seen on rebuilt starters and
alternators, but can apply to any part new, used or rebuilt.
A core charge if applicable will be listed below the part's
price.
If
your rebuildable old part is sent in with the order, there
is no core charge. Core charges are refundable if we receive
an assembled, complete and rebuildable part back within
30 days of the date we shipped the replacement part to
you. Thirty one days from the ship date of your order the
item has no core value. If you want the item returned you
can send a check for the original shipping amount and we can
return it.
Cores
are refundable at 95% if originally paid for with a charge
card; 100% if paid for with a check or money
order.
Cores
have to be in rebuildable condition. (Our determination)
Please inquire if you are unsure whether your old part is
acceptable as a core.
Yes
we didn't used to have this policy but after finally
realizing that we were kind of being used as a dumping
ground and let our core pile shrink we have added these
restrictions. Either that or no more rebuilt parts in the
future.
Following
are some examples of non returnable cores. This is not
intended to be a complete list of parts or parts conditions
that can affect value of core.
Basically
anything other than normal wear.
Hydraulic
cylinders
where the aluminum has oxidized. Like rust on steel parts,
usually a white powdery substance forms on surface. If
cylinder has had fluid in it the whole time not necessarily
a problem if it is minor and limited to the outside of the
cylinder. Stripped threads, missing parts, broken mounting
ears are some other defects that will reduce or eliminate or
the part's core value.
Alternators
without
pulleys, with mounting holes elongated or stripped, broken
cases. Alternators that have sat unprotected so they are
oxidized (turning to dust) are also not useable. Ditto with
units that do not turn.
Camshafts
with keyways damaged, non-original cam grind profile,
stripped threads, broken gear teeth, missing cam bolt, spun
journals. There is a $21 per each excessively damaged
lobe.
Cam
Followers (2000 Rocker Arms) that
are the old 1 piece type (look at the pad from the side and
you can see if it is two pieces; or rockers that have been
repaired before.
Crankshaft
pulleys
(vibration dampeners) that have chunks out or damage to belt
area or keyway
Carburetors
that have sat outside or have otherwise started turning to
aluminum dust, frozen up or with missing/damaged throttle
bodies or domes. Missing parts that are not normally
replaced during are rebuild will be deducted from value as
well. Stripped threads, damaged holes or anything else that
would prevent the carburetor from being rebuilt without
replacing non wearing parts.
Waterpumps
with broken cases, missing rear plates or flange, stripped
holes, elongated holes, redrilled holes, oxidized (turning
to dust), pumps that have been run with bad bearing or bent
shaft long enough to damage case. Damaged gasket surfaces on
pump.
