The Nissan of the Eastside dealership sucks on parts. I can't even order a bolt..they said they would clal me but never did, etc. So I'm wondering which dealerships do you guys go to? Would an inifinit dealership be a better choice/?

 

you need to speak with Bob Childs at Eastside , he kicks ***. Remember we talked about this once already?

What do you need I have extra stuff?

 

I tried but I came and he wasn't working...just my luck I spoke to the a-hole from last time again.

Just need a strut bar bolt and a bolt for the sway bar bracket. Right now I'm so fed up with them I'm thinking of going to the infiniti dealer instead.

 

Infiniti of Kirkland ftw.

 

+1 they are good

 

if you know the size, or have the same bolt, just go to the hardware shop and get a generic one. much cheaper...just doesn't look OE.

 

^+1 -- take the stripped bolt to a hardware store and find its friends.

 

**** all that. Get your Z parts from www.courtesynissanparts.com. They're in texas, they're VERY Z oriented and more than happy to help all the time. They're very reasonable people.

 

You made a great point Peter. I'll try to find some next time around at Lowes, I tried Home Depot but their selection is mucho limited!

I'll also check out infiniti of kirkland, thanks guys!

 

I haven't had much luck at home depot or Lowes for car part bolts/nuts...when I was in Berkeley, they had a huge Ace hardware store that had tons of unique bolts. At the time I was looking for bolts for the seat mounts...IIRC it was a weid thread pitch and diameter, but they had it. Good luck and let us know if you find it.

 

go to Stoneway hardware on Stone Ave or Hardwicks in the U district, they will have kind of fastener you will need

 

Go to NAPA Alvin, they have a wall of nuts and bolts just for this, I had to buy some when I put the coilovers on because the guy didn't send the extra hardware kit for mine.

Seriously. NAPA in Woodinville.

 

McLendons has the best selection of metric standards of any hardware store anywhere locally. Also Tacoma Screw (gotta love that name ) will anything McLendon's doesn't and more.

 

I don't know if there is a Tacoma Screw on the East side of the Sound. Amazing place for fasteners. As the saying goes here, " if Tacoma Screw doesn't have it, you are screwed".

 

+1 for Tacoma Screw

 

There's a Tacoma Screw in Kirkland right off the freeway at 116th. Google Map

 

you can have 1 of the strut tower bolts off my car if you want...i have a new stb...

 

yay! Thanks bro, and I live on the eastside so it'll be easy

 

Tacoma Screw...haven't been there personally, but I hear they have everything. There are a few around here: Ballard, Kirkland, Everett, and Kent being the closest ones to you.
