where can i find approved cheap spare parts???

[BuDavid]

hi people, i was looking for outer tie rod ends here in my country for my 1977 280Z but unfortunatelly the are not available at all..

I looked on the internet for those parts on web sites but they costed arround 48$ each?? those prices were on victoria british and courtesys parts i think ( hope that i got the correct spelling)

i dont beleve that they could cost that much, coz a normal 555 tie rod for a 280ZX cost 44$ for both..

while i need new shocks and adjustable springs if available

is there any good approved spare parts agent that sells parts for 280Z with reasonable prices and able to ship?

i asked people here coz i know that they love thier Z's, and so they buy good stuff for them..

hope to get an answer from u soon, thanx..

Mohamed,

It looks like you started out checking the right places (Victoria British & Motorsport). If you think they are too expensive, you may try doing a Google search or look on Ebay. Good luck!

VB has them listed at $19.95US each ($39.90 total) for part # 62-010/011 plus shipping

[=Enigma=]

That sounds more like it. I was actually surprised how little they cost since you have to by the whole rod instead of just the rod ends like many other cars.

I just replaced mine (from motorsport) and they were cheap! less than 20 bucks each.

Now the cost differences between the outer tie rod and the inner are enough to make you cry.....

[BuDavid]

wow, suddenly bunch of replies:), anyway, plz can you type me the site that sells the part by 19$each?

coz i really cant find such a thing, besides on motorsport (zcarparts) dont have items on net as far as i can see!?

victoria british have only some body panels and some rubber things..

on cortesysparts they sell the outer tie rod by 49$ !!

do i have to change my inner tie rod also? it remains upwards when i lift it freely (not jammed) means the ball is not lose od what?

plz send me a good link guys, i cant wawtch my z parked like that:(

Your inner is okay if it stays up by itself. As to Victoria British, their website is: www.victoriabritish.com

The outer tie rods are as follows:

1) 62-010 (LH) $19.95

2) 62-011 (RH) $19.95

3) 79-813 grease fittings (order 2) $0.95/each

Unfortunately, MSA and VB do not have their full catalogs online. You have to get a printed catalog. I'd offer to look up part numbers for you, but someone borrowed my copies.

Mohamed:

I'm wondering what you mean by "approved". By whom? Nissan?

They don't approve any parts unless they are sold by Nissan.

MSA (Motorsport Auto) and V.B. (Victoria British) can supply you with most parts you might need, but as others have said, you'll need a paper catalog to see all that they have available.
