Door pins
 

Hi guys.

My drivers side door is dropping and catching on the front wing. I went to Nissan and asked for some new door pins, they tell me that there are brass bushes inside (£18) and also the pins and C clips (£28) has anyone had to change these? should I just do these bushes, or the whole lot (seems a lot for a few bits of metal, but then they charged me £2 each for the nuts on the turbo flange...)

Thanks

You need the Pin and brass insert as they are the bits that wear! Its a bit of a tricky job but well worth doing! :D

:eek: :D :rolleyes: :)

Thanks Steve.

I will be doing it on my own, I thought to use a trolly jack to support the door and do them one at a time? I assume they pop out after removing the c clip?

are these prices for all the bushes and pins and clips or each???? my doors are dropping a little too, although i need 2 new doors really as the rust quite bad, but for the time being a refurb will have to do.

Yes ive heard of these kits from Nissan. Surely you can diy yourself something up

yea would like to know too coz my drivers door one has gone and someone replaced it with a bolt........ so everytime you open the door it klunks:(

Haha yes I know a few other s12s that do that. Not mine though

Basically you have a pin that is held in by a c clip. You take this off after supporting the door. Then you tap out the upper and lower Brass rings from the hinge and tap in the new ones. If your door pin is worn then this will have to be changed. Take about an hour each side If you take your time :1la

so you tap the pin out, and the brass bushes slip over the pin?

the brass bushes are in the hinge which need to be tapped out after the pin is removed. From what I remember they are in the door side of the hinge as its been a while. :trout

Obviously a common silvia thing...put me down for 2 dodgy doors :)

I've got a new door pin set for when I change the door on the s12:D

dont suppose you have 2 doors and 2 wings, mine are a tad rusty :( else i shall have to fire up the welder to repair the wings, and grind out the rust and p40 the the doors :(

i have 1 spare door, but your a long way from me.

I've got a mkI drivers door which is mint!

mines better than mint lol.

cheers for the offers, the doors are repairable, but the wings are a disgrace, i would have the doors as a bulk buy if i was getting wings else i may as well weld em back to gether, doors just have surface rust really, no holes, the fron wings however behind the mud flap flashings thingys is non existant :(
