interest thread: genuine Nissan S13 KA24DE oil pump/front cover

[mav1178]

so 13500-53F00 (part 13035 in the diagram) is apparently available to order from my supplier of Nissan parts. however, a few things:

• front lower cover (oil pump cover) - upper timing chain cover was never sold separately outside of cylinder head assembly
• **my** cost north of $550-600+
• front cover part number for S13 KA only; only difference vs S14 seems to be one of the bolt holes to the upper timing cover being slightly different
• lead time of 150-210+ days

given that there is still the oil pump gear and oil pump cover still being readily available from Nissan, as well as generic covers for under $100 shipped on eBay... is there any serious interest in this?

I've already asked on Facebook also.

if that is your cost, assuming you want to make some profit (nobody can blame you for this, as you are doing work) what do you think they consumer cost would be?

Or are you saying that $550-$600 is your estimated consumer cost?

my cost is what I listed.

I'm not doing this as a charity.

Part of the reason why I don't have a specific price is because I don't know what my ultimate landed cost will be like. Lots of things can change in 6 months, including swings in exchange rates.
