Nissan Maxima diesel gasket set on ebay

This auction is for a NEW bottom end gasket set which fits 1982-1984 Nissan Maxima with the LD28 diesel engine. This set (p/n 033-003X) contains the gaskets & seals needed to rebuild the short block.

Starts @ a $1.00

I don't need this, but there it is. Nobody should need this....It's a Maxi after all!!!

What is the most mileage anyone has seen on a Maxi diesel? I myself saw one have 348K down near the Outer Banks of NC. (2001) Saw it along the road on front of a gas station/garage that had caught on fire and scorched :evil: the outside of the car. Tried to buy the Alt. & starter, but at the time it didn't feel worth it to drive 250-300 miles? to get it.

What can we deduce from the gasket maker information? I have never heard of McCord before to be honest.

McCord gaskets are fine. Felpro is considered top shelf by some, but if you need it, and the shipping is reasonable, go for it.

I myself bid on ebay when there is less than 15 seconds left. I have two screens up with one all ready with my bid, logged in etc., then I keep refreshing the other screen and then hit the button. It is called sniping. One bid, one win?

That is a really nice looking GP buss bar you made.

Thanks, it wasn't that hard to build, and I didn't want to use crimp connectors in any way. I'll be posting pics of the 4 gauge unit when I have it finished. It certainly better than the aluminum one that was on my car, the attachment slots were well worn.

Unless somebody here wants it, I'm going to bid about $10 on that gasket set, just to stash it on a shelf. Let me know if one of you is going to bid on it, and I'll not bid.

Did you end up getting this? For some reason I didn't think you bid on it. Oops, you did, and got it..my bad.

Yeah, I bought it and it's sitting on a shelf. I didn't open it, it's obviously factory sealed. Who knows when I might want it . . . by then, I'll likely have forgotten I own it. eBay is fun! My heirs will curse me :x
