I have managed to buy from the Nissan dealers in Brisbane most of the small parts for my resto if you ask for a 85 ute they will track down the bits you want and if it is trim items the only difference between the ute and early models is the colour, As a rule Repco and the like only supply mechanical parts that are non genuine.
If you want the genuine part numbers let me know as I have a set of microfische.

Hi Joel, I have just had my GX engine rebiult,
I was told that all the bottom end is the same as std 1200 and the head was the same as a14
hope this helps

hi sling, the reason the parts guy has asked you is that he has a choice of what to supply.
he is working from a book, if you are using an aftermarket supplier his general knowledge on a large variety of cars would be good and if you are going genuine the parts guy should know your car better than you do !! how do I know ? I have done genuine Honda parts for 18 years and if this helps 74 Civic front pads are the same

Hi Dat16, it is quite straight forward, you will need a torch,philips head scredriver and maybe a pair of pliers.
1 push and twist off the h/light and wiper knobs and remover the alloy retaining nut.
2 undo the speedo cable
3 remove steering wheel(it get's in the way)
4 get in the most uncomfortable position you can think of and try and find the 2 screws at the bottom of the guages after about ten minutes crack the ####s and have a beer.
5 after removing the screws try and work out why the hell it will not come out and then remove the ciggy lighter.
6 have another beer and pull the facia from the top and it will (hopefully) pull out without to much trouble
and no I am not trying to be a smartasse
this is what I did the first time I tried it !!
good luck
Ade
