Does anyone have a good (read cheap) source for oem/equivalent parts (looking at valve train pieces mainly). I know nismoparts.com has the Nissan Motorsports stuff, but I didn't know where to go for the rest of it.
Thanks
Earl

For which car do you need parts. I have a 3 year old Beck/Arnley catalog at home.Originally posted by erlrich:

Check with Courtesy Nissan (www.courtesyparts.com) in Texas. Very helpful parts people and a large inventory.
BTW, they also have the best prices on Nismo green brake shoes that I've found (if you drive a Z).

Looks like Beck/Arnley has the following:
Cam
Valves
Stem seals
Valve guides
Federal Mogul may have some parts. I don't have a catalog from them however.
That said, Courtesy will probably save you enough (they give discounts to lots of groups) that the aftermarket replacement parts just won't look attractive at all. They may even be more expensive than OEM from Courtesy.

Thanks guys. I did go ahead and get quotes from Courtesy, and have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find their prices were lower in almost every case than any of the online aftermarket parts stores, and significantly lower in some cases (e.g. $70 lower than anywhere else I found for a rocker arm set). I'm still waiting to hear back from a Nissan source a little closer to home, but suffice to say I will be using genuine Nissan parts for the rebuild.
