-I'd like to find out if a part for my '90 240SX is still available.
- I'm sorry sir, our system only goes back to 1994 models

Gotta love technology!

Have you tried calling Courtesy Parts? Looks like their system goes back to 1984.

My local dealer has no problem ordering parts for pre-90s. Sounds like your dealership is ran by lazy parts people. Even still, 1994 was an S13 year in the states. Where are you located?

Courtesy Parts shows the part as discontinued. I was looking for starter brushes. Ended up replacing the starter.

Southern California. Yeah..the parts guy sounded like he needed some more coffee :)

Oh, you shouldn't need original equipment for that... go aftermarket.
