Genuine Hitachi Starter Motor TB42, TB45, TB48 - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ & Y61 GU
Searching Address...
This Genuine Hitachi Starter Motor is located on the side of the engine block, where it engages with the engine's flywheel to initiate the starting sequence. It is a powerful electric motor designed to turn over your vehicle's engine. A replacement is necessary when your original starter motor fails, becomes weak, or operates intermittently, which is often indicated by a clicking sound or a slow, sluggish crank when you turn the ignition key.
Ignoring a failing starter motor will eventually lead to a no-start situation, leaving you stranded without warning. A complete failure means the engine will not turn over at all, requiring a tow and costly emergency repairs. Replacing a worn starter motor proactively ensures reliable starting and peace of mind.
Product Features
- Genuine Hitachi OEM Quality: Manufactured in Japan by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for Nissan. This guarantees factory-level performance and durability, unlike cheaper aftermarket units that often use inferior materials and risk premature failure.
- High-Torque Performance: Engineered for powerful, efficient engine cranking to ensure fast and reliable starts, even in demanding Australian conditions.
- Durable Construction: Built with premium-grade materials, including high-quality copper windings and a robust solenoid, for exceptional longevity and resistance to heat and vibration.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory starter motor, ensuring a straightforward installation with no modifications required.
