I am a member and state committe person here in Australia of A.P.R.A.A and we have www.apraa.com an on line parts locating service which operates Austrailia wide. I am trying to import out of the States or Canada some Nissan Titan 1/2 cuts or just the engine assemblies. Do you of a similar web service I can use to locate these parts or can you point me in the right direction of a dismantler who dismantles these vehicles and is willing to export to Australia. Any assistance would by greatly appreciated.

A. Thanks so much for using the feedback portion of ECAR.  After sending your query to several of our members, we received the following two replies to date.  If we receive any more, I will forward them onto you.  We hope this information proves helpful.

We are near Vancouver British Columbia. I have a pretty good inventory of Nissan stuff. Along with buying local salvage, we also have been importing containers from Japan. I bought an 04 Infiniti QX56 this week. It is the same engine as the Titan (not inventoried yet). I have also sent one container down your way.
