tr8er Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 And any advise on who makes a good water pump? L20b Link to comment
smoke Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Parts houses are such a crap shoot anymore. I have had some of the super cheap, china made stuff last a long time and some of the made in USA, 4 times as much money, fail when I fired up the engine. So I never really know what I am going to get. Am I right to assume you can't get a factory one anymore? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Weird a made a post right after smoke asked if they were gubment workers and now its disappeared. Hit ENTER next time... Water pump leaks through weep hole. Was fine when I parked her 2 years ago. I don't mind replacing it, but is this common to have a water pump fail due to sitting? It will if the anti freeze is weak and it frosts up in the cold. And any advise on who makes a good water pump? L20b Nissan as far as I'm concerned. Always grab good used parts that come your way Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I did mike, I even looked at it after it posted, then again I could be loosing it Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Can't see anything here. I find maybe a post every two weeks that I was sure I made but when I get home to see any replies, it was never there. Figured I intended to post but checkind something on another window, got distracted by something shiny, had to leave in a hurry for work and closed it all down. Ghost in the machine? 1 Link to comment

tr8er Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nissan as far as I'm concerned. Always grab good used parts that come your way Nissan = $279 + shipping all others = $40-$60. WTF! 1 Link to comment
JoeCool Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The dealers are freaking PROUD of their parts! Link to comment
laotsu Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 mebbe this is a case of you get what you pay for? Link to comment
JoeCool Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not necessarily, at least not anymore. OEM parts from the dealer used to be best, but now most parts are built by the same two or three companies in some overseas sweatshop. So a lot of times you are just overpaying at the dealer.

datzenmike Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Nissan = $279 + shipping all others = $40-$60. WTF! You used to be able to get reasonably close quality from NAPA and such for.... about half price of the dealer. That's still $140. But these... these... ...are absolute crap. Punched out steel impellers, not cast. Even the casting isn't the one Nissan uses. Yah gets what ya pays for. This is why if I have an opportunity to grab a good used Nissan pump, alternator, fuel pump, oil pump I get it and put it away as a spare. I must have 8-10 assorted L and Z starters. Naturally I never need them but.... 1 Link to comment

HRH Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 For the record, I'm not sure I'm in love yet, but I'm pretty happy. And no, she did not have a wiener. I checked before entering. :) And I cooked her dinner. As for the water pumps, I sell NPW pumps through my Altrom line at work. Nissan Pump Works, as good as you can get, made in Japan. Pretty sure they have stamped steel impellers too though Mike, sorry. I've used them though and haven't had an issue, so they're probably of higher quality stamped zinc-laden steel or something. 1 Link to comment
