Rough prices on parts ? |
Thu 02 Feb 2012 01:30:40 PM |
Be gentle on me.. I am new to this website and only just started getting into Micras.
I am looking for an LX that I would put the following parts from a Super S on. Complete interior (unless there are sports type front seats such as from a pulsar that will fit without major mods). I would at least need all the other s interior parts if i used non s front seats Front and rear bars Genuine Rear spoiler Tacho Rims As far as non s parts go i am looking at ; all the parts needed to install power steering the famed japanese 'cup holder' with lid to make a glovebox at the top of the dash. Can you guys give me an idea on what i would expect to pay if these parts came up/or from the wreckers. |

Wreckers tend not to know the difference between an LX and a Super-S, much less how rare parts from the latter are so if you were lucky enough to find one at a wreckers, chances are you could get them cheap-ish compared to buying them from someone on here. People know how uncommon it is to find Super-S parts and a premium is put on them.
I can't see why you'd bother with finding Super-S rims as they're nothing special - they're skinny 13x6 wheels and you're better off finding a nice set of aftermarket ones than search around for Super-S rims and the centrecaps, but that's up to you I suppose :) There's little-to-no chance of finding bolt-in seats - if you're after buckets you'll probably do best to get a set of rails via Japan and then match them with either side-mount or bottom-mount buckets depending on the rails you buy. At a rough guess for prices from a wreckers: Interior: No idea, probably $200-300 if you're getting all seats, parcel shelf, door cards, etc. Bumpers: ~$70 ea Spoiler: ~$50 Rims: $30 ea w/ tyre Tacho dash: ~$60 ---dens |

The on-dash cup holder probably AU$90-100 on here second hand, I paid I think $150 for a brand new one in box, but you'd never find one at the wreckers.
There is a post earlier on here about the front and rear bumpers: http://micra.com.au/community/message.php?messageid=74349 Rear spoiler, the JDM one with LED brake light built in, also stock rims: http://micra.com.au/community/message.php?messageid=70404 Honestly, its pretty easy to search on this and get an idea of prices people have wanted or paid in the past ;) |

Super s bar - have fun trying to find anyone that wants to give them aways for less then $100ea
Interior - depends on what the Lx is? Is it just a shell? If so about what dens said $2-300 Spoiler - if wanting super s, $50-100 Rims - just get aftermarket Tachometer - $80-200 depending on what you want to pay P.Steer - doesn't really need it car is very small, I went from owning power steer to non ps and think if fine, maybe a little harder to do a 3point turn but not really needed JDM cup holder - wont find any at the wreckers, needs to be imported ~$100 Seats - nothing fits with out modding |

I did do a bit of searching on this sight but was looking for estimates of most recent/current prices. In terms of rims i have been told that anything over 6 inches will be too wide.
Thanks for the replies so far. They are all useful. |

you should be able to fit 7" rims in a +35 to +40 offset within the standard guards easily enough.
Have a look at the recently advertised items and snap up the power steering setup if it's still for sale. I think it was $50 and IMO it's a worthwhile conversion. |
