Bosito sent me up his flap mechanism thing which is in perfect condition. Then when I installed it I realised that the lugs on my actual cable were all brittle and snapped off. Beyond repair for gluing it back together. DAMN!!!
Then I got angry and ripped the whole cable out of the car and cut it into pieces with some wire cutters.
Its just old and stuffed. I could take the risk of finding one second hand that probably is also brittle because they only came out on 1995 (and maybe some 1996 micras?).. But I couldn't be stuffed.
So I just bought a brand new entire cable unit from Nissan. Its coming up overnight from Melbourne. Angers me at how expensive it was, but now I can just be done with it and have a brand new one in there that won't wear out for a very long time. It includes the entire mechanism aswell, so turns out now I will be keeping Bosito's one as a spare! But its a good thing to have as a spare.
Zoiks. $225. That's about the only genuine Nissan thing I've ever bought from them! bah!
