Nissan spare parts catalog on Amayama: how to search, check and order the original

Spare parts catalog Nissan on the platform Amayama - one of the most popular tools for Japanese car owners who want to buy original parts at reasonable prices. However, working with it requires knowledge: from correct selection by VIN code to checking compatibility with a specific modification Qashqai, X-Trail or Navara. In this article, we’ll look at how to use the catalog effectively, avoid counterfeits, and save on delivery—without any fuss or common phrases.

Amayama positions itself as an official distributor of Japanese auto parts, but in practice many face problems: from inaccurate descriptions to delivery delays. We analyzed user reviews, studied the directory structure and identified key pointsthat will help save time and money. We will pay special attention to searching by OEM codes, checking analogues and the nuances of placing an order for Russia and the CIS countries.

Why is Amayama the best choice for Nissan parts?

Platform Amayama stands out from competitors (like BuyAutoParts or JapanParts) thanks to several key advantages:

• 🔍 Genuine parts directly from Nissan - without intermediaries, which reduces the risk of counterfeits.
• 📦 Wide range: from consumables (filters, pads) to rare body panels for Skyline R34 or Patrol Y62.
• 💰 Prices are lower than dealer prices by 20–40% due to the absence of markups from local suppliers.
• 🌍 Delivery to 150+ countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus (taking into account customs nuances).

However, there are also pitfalls. For example, some parts in the catalog are marked as "OEM", but in fact they turn out to be analogues from Denso or Aisin - this is not always a bad thing, but it is important to check compatibility. It is also worth considering that delivery times from Japan can stretch up to 2-3 months (especially for rare spare parts).

⚠️ Attention: Amayama does not always indicate the year the model was restyled. For example, spare parts for Nissan X-Trail T31 before and after 2010 may differ, although this is not always obvious in the catalogue. Always check with VIN code or consult with the manager.

How to find a spare part by VIN or part number

The most reliable way to search is to use VIN code or OEM numbers details. Let's consider both options:

1. Search by VIN:

   Enter the 17-digit code into the search field on the Amayama website. The system will automatically determine the model, year of manufacture and equipment. For example, for Nissan Qashqai J11 2017 with engine MR20DD the catalog will show all compatible parts.

   💡

   If the VIN is not recognized, check that you have entered it correctly - the letters are often confused I And 1, and also O And 0.

2. Search by OEM code:

   The part number can be found in the owner's manual, on labels under the hood, or through services like Nissan Parts Europe. For example, the original oil filter for Nissan Navara D40 has a code 15208-9F60A.

If you are not sure about the code, use cross search (cross-reference). For example, enter the analogue number from Mann or Bosch, and the system will show original replacements from Nissan. This is true for consumables, where analogues are often cheaper, but not inferior in quality.

What to do if the part is not found?

If the directory doesn't return any results, try:

1. Specify the year of manufacture (before/after restyling).

2. Check for alternative part names (for example, “shock absorber” vs “strut”).

3. Write to Amayama support with a photo of the part and VIN code - they can find it manually.

Price comparison: Amayama vs dealer vs analogues

To understand how profitable it is to buy at Amayama, let’s compare prices for popular spare parts for Nissan Almera N18 (2020) with engine HR16DE:

Detail	OEM number	Dealer price (Russian Federation), ₽	Price for Amayama, $	Analogue (brand), ₽
Air filter	16546-4M01A	1 800	12	Mann (C 27003) — 950
Brake pads (front)	40520-4M025	6 500	45	Brembo (P 24064) — 3 200
Spark plugs	22401-JK71A	2,200 (per set)	28	NGK (IFR6T11) — 1 500
Stabilizer link	54501-4M01A	8 900	60	Febi (22310) — 4 800

As can be seen from the table, savings on original spare parts reach 30–50%, even including delivery. However, for consumables (filters, pads) it is often more profitable to take high-quality analogues - the difference in price can exceed 200–300%.

⚠️ Attention: When ordering parts for Nissan GT-R R35 or 370Z be sure to check the engine version (VR38DETT, VQ37VHR etc.). A bug in the code can lead to incompatibility, and returning such parts is expensive.

How to avoid counterfeits: 5 key signs

Counterfeits of original Nissan parts are found even at Amayama (especially for popular models like Qashqai or X-Trail). Here's how to recognize them:

• 🏷️ Incorrect packaging: original parts come in branded boxes with a hologram Nissan and a barcode that matches the number on the website.
• 🔢 OEM code mismatch: Please check the part number on the part and on your order. For example, counterfeits often have a code 15208-9F60B instead of the original 15208-9F60A.
• 📏 Size and weight: Compare the dimensions with the reference ones (there are photos with a ruler on the Amayama website). For example, the original fuel filter for Nissan Patrol Y62 weighs 320 g, and the fake weighs 280 g.
• 💎 Quality of materials: original rubber seals (for example, for CVT Jatco) have a matte tint, while fakes have a glossy finish.
• 📄 Lack of certificate: The original is always accompanied by a warranty card or certificate of conformity.

If in doubt, ask the Amayama manager photo of details with packaging before payment. It's also helpful to check reviews on forums (e.g. Drive2 or Nissan Club Russia) according to specific OEM code.

Nuances of delivery to Russia and CIS countries

Delivery from Japan has its own characteristics that affect the final cost and timing:

• 📦 Delivery methods:
  • DHL/FedEx — 5–10 days, but expensive (from $50 per parcel).
  • Japan Post — 2–3 weeks, cheaper ($20–$30), but delays at customs are possible.
  • Sea delivery — 1–2 months, beneficial for large orders (from $100).
• 💸 Customs duties: in Russia there is a discount of up to €200 (1 parcel per month). Excess leads to a tax of 15% + postal fees (about 300–500 ₽).
• 📝 Documents: for parts valued >$500, a declaration indicating HS-code (For example, 8708.99.9900 for spare parts).

To save money, combine orders with other customers (for example, through groups in Telegram or VK). Also keep an eye out for Amayama promotions - they sometimes offer free shipping on orders over $300.

Top 5 mistakes when ordering spare parts on Amayama

Analysis of reviews shows that most problems can be avoided if you do not repeat these mistakes:

1. Ignoring restyling:

   For example, Nissan Juke F15 before and after 2014 it has different front bumper mounts. Always check exact year of manufacture.

2. Order by name, not by code:

   The phrase "brake disc on" Nissan Teana J32" can return 10+ options. Use OEM number (For example, 40500-4M600).

3. Incorrect side selection (left/right):

   For body or suspension parts, indicate the direction in the direction of travel. For example, 54501-4M00A — left stabilizer link for X-Trail T32.

4. Neglect of checking analogues:

   Sometimes analogues are cheaper and of better quality. For example, for CVT Nissan belt Gates (K0T7563) lasts longer than the original one.

5. No backup plan:

   If you need a part urgently, order it from Amayama and your local supplier at the same time - then cancel the extra order.

Another common mistake is delivery time not taken into account. If you need a spare part for Nissan Navara D23 for the season (for example, a wheel bearing before winter), order in advance - deadlines may change due to logistical problems.
