Leon Cutajar in Australia sells kits with all the parts and does rebuilds if you send him your hinges.

In my experience the spring missing usually means the pivot joint is no longer functioning properly. So you might need the pivot parts too. 

They end up going past the lock point and folding backward with the spring pressure. Then you can't close the door. 

Nissans answer was to charge the mechanism and use a tighter spring. That is why you see a lot of later hinges on the drivers door and this style on the passenger door.
