A few PNW wrecking yards that have B13 NXen

[Kieran Lavin]

LOL, I am not in the market for finding parts in a junkyard.... my comment was only aimed at Ben saying that it would be confusing to call and order parts between the Nissan NX2000 of 20+ years ago and the brand new Lexus NX200..... joke being that new parts are dwindling for our ancient cars



As far as junkyards.... I'm in NE Pennsylvania and the "local" junkyard sucks.... they advertise imports and everything on their website when you do a parts search says "call" .... I was in the area and stopped by.  I asked them if they had a specific car in a specific range of years and they could not tell me.  Charged me $10 entry fee to walk around and look for the car I was looking for.  They didn't even have it and the lot was so small I was able to make that determination in 5 minutes.  They wouldn't refund the $10 either

Keiran,
I can't remember where you live, but if you live in the PNW, we have a few yards that currently have NXs in their inventory.  There is one in Hermiston WA, One in Kittitas WA, one in Spokane WA, one in Sherwood OR, three up in Kelowna BC and a few scattered in ID wrecking yards...  I think I have seen at least 5 of them that had the radiator support structure which were in good, useable condition.  The front ends look good on the 3 in BC but they are 1600s so no spoiler in front.  The fenders varied in condition but the driverside fender from the Sherwood yard is in my shop along with the front bumper facia/cover and some AC parts.  I would have snagged more parts off that car but the yellow jacket nests were extremely active and I didn't have any brake cleaner to sedate them with.  I was able to carefully pull the AC evap unit from under the dash while staring through the open window at those angry bastages that were nesting in the passenger side mirror.  I am very allergic to various bee venom and only had the partial kit with me that day, so finally gave up on the other parts.  Other nests were in the passenger fender, somewhere in the rear undercarriage, in the muffler, under the lip of the rear hatch (yeah, that was a nasty surprise...) and a couple others I couldn't locate so I could try and avoid them.  I kept hearing some of the other "shoppers" cursing from getting stung.  I now have a full bee kit in my travelling tool kit along with a can of PB blaster and 3 cans of BlackFlag...
