My starter motor packed in finally so I rang up Repco for a price on one, thinking $70 or so dollars woudl be resaonable. They got back to me with a price of $295!! I had an a12 one on my a14 maybe reason she died eventually.

Just wondering if anyone else has tried to source one new and if there HT versions or anything like that.

Datsuns parts are becoming gold mines now.... of course a 2nd hand one is an option but just wondering about new ones.

Rebuild for 150$ or a mazda 323 one fits i think. wreakers ~ $60 but will probly fail anyway

I rang several parts places for one a while ago and they didn't even have them listed...

could just hit it with a stick and be done with it

get it reco'd, or exchange from an auto electrician.
I've got 2 in the shed, I'll send you the best looking one for price of postage if you want? cant guarentee it'll work, but both came out of cars that would start.

Yeah get em reco'd. I had one done about 2 years ago for $80... New wires, brushes blah blah and worked a treat.

Up for sale to

but not really worth sending it i spose, bit far for such a thing

i once pulled into a servo in my ute and parked along side another 1200 ute, the owner was filling it with petrol while it was running.

he yelled across as i began filling mine 'you havent got a starter for one of these have ya?'

wreckers had quoted him $70 and an autoelec a further $90 to install.

i installed my old a12 starter for him for $70.
he was a happy customer



if your starter is no good. just instal and L series starter with the L series engine attatched of course

hahah cheeky...... Narh attaching it is piss thats not a problem. The lseries woudl be a bigger job

Prob gonna see if i can get a 2nd hand one becuase alot of bills this month and doing the coil overs for the ute and another surprise on the ute which will be revealed soon enough

Im 85% sure i've got one stashed away somewhere. Let me know and i'll have a look around for it. How much is a second hand starter worth?

just had to get one for my 1200, cost me $31.00 rebuilt and easy to find
