After pulling all the electrical connectors off to prepare to pull the engine I remembered how many of the metal U-shaped clips I'm missing that hold the plastic connectors tight. I haven't had issues yet but some of the connectors are pretty loose without them and want to pop off easily.

Does anyone have a good source for these things? Maybe a part number through Nissan? There are a few different shapes but they seem like a nice thing to have on hand.

Scrapyard? They're pretty much universal on any car with that style of plug.

Around here I've only seen a single Q45 in a junkyard and they want to sell the whole engine at once. It's been sitting there for at least a few years now....

I might have to take a look around at some other Nissans and Infinitis at a yard that will let me buy parts short of a complete engine.

Most european stuff that uses Bosch electronics have the same plugs if that helps?
