Hi all,has any one here replaced their GQ door hinges with the ones from ebay on the MrAutospares page.

Mate, take it from me, leave the Ebay ones alone.
They are made in China, the steel is sub standard in my opinion.
The bushes are not Bronze, they are pressed steel, they rust, then the bush turns in the hinge.
The bush then drops and you are back where you started.
Have a look on ebay, there are hinge pin and bush sets, DIY no welding. The pic below is an Ebay hinge, less than a year old.
Cheers, the ferret.


Note how the top of the bush has come away and let the bush drop.
When these hinges are put together, the pressing slightly bends the pin, so, this causes the pin to oscillate inside the bush and the whole thing is US.

Mate, just go to Ebay and search "hinge pins kit nissan"
I could send the link but it seems to take you to other things.
For the price, you could shorten the pins, you would get the bronze bushes, press them in and cut the pin to suit, even a tack weld to hold it.
I have done hundreds this way, altho I made the bushes and pins.
You can also buy the bushes from Toyota, they are the same bush, and then use an 8mm bolt and nut as the pin and tack it.
Cheers, the ferret.
