Good Find - Valve cover grommets CHEAP

[Zacho]

I don't remember what Nissan OE grommets run...but these are $1/each. Off a J30. I'm gonna order a whack of them.

Compared to a used/compressed RB grommet.

i vaguely remember the OE nissan ones being about the same price :)

[Allan74]

Nice. I like 'interchange' and availability.

[DrMango]

Zacho how much is shipping after? I need a complete set of them and if shipping is bad enough to warrant it, then we should toss mine in your box and split the shipping cost. If its cheap then Ill just order myself

Damnit I payed like 120 for those little bastards! Indeed good find.

[Zacho]

I found a Canadian source...$1.32/each. This place I posted shipped to Canada, but was not exactly International friendly.

2 other people order with me, free shipping.

[DrMango]

Im in 100%

that all we need Zacho? I can send money when you tell me price

Kyle

[Zacho]

Sweet, just noticed bobbo wants in.

I'm contacting the place today because when I called on friday they only had 30 in the store. Basically with 3 people we pay no shipping.

I'll get back to you guys.

[DrMango]

And we need 20 each right?
I dont mind waiting for a bit as this is a good deal

Kyle

[Allan74]

Are they the same for a RB20/25/26 ? Is it too late to get in on this deal ?

[Zacho]

Yes they should be as far as I am aware. Mine are all squished to hell so I want new ones. So Allan, should I ask for 80 then?

They said they don't have a problem ordering more, just let me know how much you guys need. Double check but 25 covers take 10 per cover so 20 total.

[Allan74]

I'm in....let me know how/where/when to send money.

[bobbo]

RB26s take 20 total as well.

[DrMango]

Seems like they are all the same between motors. Ill take the full 20. Do they have the allan head ones that hold the center bezzle down that covers the coil packs?

I need to find those too

Kyle

[Allan74]

Do they have the allan head.....?
Kyle, wanna hear something funny ? I know as of late you have been sticking up for the proper spelling of my name (and I appreciate it!) so you must be used to spelling it that way now.....lol

Unfortunately in this case, it's Allen....lol

Sorry, just thought it was funny.....

[mcfly]

bolts that use allen keys are actually called "socket caps" though.

[bobbo]

Is this getting done? I've got my cam/valve/rocker covers off getting powdercoated as we speak and new gaskets will be here monday. I'd like to replace these grommets too.

[Zacho]

Meant to post the update today. I had them order 60 more to make a total of 80.

Looks like $34 all inclusive, shipped & insured to me initially then I'll throw them in a bubble wrap envelope to you. Hows that sound? Won't be very speedy though.

[DrMango]

Doesnt matter to me. You cant beat a good deal. Let me know where to send my EMT

Kyle

[Allan74]

Won't be very speedy though.

Sounds good to me.

[bobbo]

That's great! Thanks for the update! Give us the word when you need the money!

Rob

[DrMango]

I know you said it wont be that speedy but is this happening anymore?

Kyle

[bobbo]

He was good enough to inform me after about 2 weeks that it was NOT happening anymore so I had to order them, bit of a set back in my assembly to say the least. That being said I got word from them yesterday that they just got shipment in so if you are looking now is the time.

Rob

BTW $148 to buy a set from Nissan!!!

[Zacho]

They had issues getting me 80 of them...And without that many it defeated the purpose of buying them all at once.


148...I didn't know they were THAT expensive as OEM parts.

[DrMango]

so bobbo you bought them from these same guys?
Have an email I can use?

Thanks

Kyle

[bobbo]

Pm'd ya.
It's RAW Brokerage for anyone else looking for the grommets. I did mention to them to be sure to have quite a few on hand.

[bobbo]

Good place to find part #s is www.nissan4u.com. But here is the part number. http://nissan4u.com/parts/info/1326858S01/
I'm pretty sure that's the one. Hard to tell from the picture.
I got them the other day and they are perfect.

[dirtysky]
