parts shortages

just thought I would post this up to let people know what bits we are very short of at the moment so if people see any of these things for sale at a reasonable price may well be worth buying if your planning on keeping your cars.

heres a few things

standard afm's............none in stock
rear brake calipers...........only around 4 in stock
transfer boxes............not many left after pikeys swiped them from us, same with throttle bodies and plenums
stock size turbos
front abs sensors
driver window switches
front hub assemblies
bumpers in good condition
dashboards in good condition
front driver seats
window rubbers the ones that are guides for window
gtir and pulsar badges
good gearboxes..........weve only one in stock so these will be a major prob soon to get hold of
gearbox parts such as third/fourth selector, input shafts and centre diffs

engine parts
camshafts were very short of
good standard blocks and cylinder heads
good crankshafts
good rocker arms
shims for valves
crank pulleys
good oil pumps

these are just some of the parts were finding increasingly hard to get hold of and things will only get worse as cars are less obtainable now and sellers are asking more money for them even if they are only fit for breaking so really its starting to create a shortage of some parts.
so keep your eyes open for bargains lads  

Thanks bob I'm after 2 wings doors and rear bumper in mint ish condition

Sorry in black lol

so do you think the value of the cars will be going up now? not that i plan on selling just good to know

well were certainly having to pay more money for cars we buy in to break
normally this time of year we would buy in half a dozen cars but this year just one and that was double what we would normally have paid but without buying them in then theres no business so you either fork out the extra or have nothing.

I personally think everything to do with these cars will be going up which will in turn increase the secondhand value of the cars for sale.
they'll never reach the heights of cosies and so forth but in the not too distant future (probably this year even) im sure you will see price hikes as there will be much fewer cars left in circulation and rarity commands higher prices

Although this seems a bad senario. It might start pushing development too as to be honest the gtir scene us very very lazy

makes me glad that ive a full car for spares

I have been looking I have a hell of a lot of spares might sort through keep a couple of each and sell some. last count 8 gearboxes not inc my quaife or par. I am terrible just bought 18 tyres 16wheels 16" all with tarmac rally spec tyres I have allsorts. Gtir us northern Geordie branch

you bought jon olds wheels then
i was tempted but didnt really like the alloys and couldnt get to sunderland till next week

must admit the alloys are not the best looking but 2 sets are nice possibly 3 and at the price were a gift. for a purpose so not like me to say this but looks for once wont bother me. sell a couple sets will buy me a decent set of wheels but really hope to get some use out them too

I have an afm sat in the boot of my nova lol

are your gearbox all in good orders? what kind of wheels are they exactly?

I could do with getting my hands on a spare gearbox, mine has a slight wine to it and sometimes crunches in 3rd if you try and change gear aggressively and will not go into 1st unless you are stationary.
I think I need to buy a spare before I can't get a hold of one anymore lol

I could do with a fucked box to rebuild over time and a good standard spare

dont our gearboxes have alot of similar parts to the bluebord turbo box not saying that they are any easier to get hold of that was just something im sure i read along time ago

I would of thought they are harder to come by than the pulsar boxes

yeah i would of thought so, i just thought it was interesting to read that i might be wrong though

Many thanks for the link to the bumper I'm on my way in the morning to see sir bobby for a few bits in exchange for some cakes yee haw

Jaffa cakes yum 

I think Nissan themselves are on a part shortage aswell...

Just rang up for an oil filter & they said they don't have it in srock & would have to order it in   
Im pretty sure oil filters class as on the shelf parts!   

Most motor factors stock them gaz last time i got one it was something silly like 1.60 or something ....
