Hi all, anyone got or know where I can get hold of a power transitor for our Nissan SS1?
Cheers, Rob

What is the number of the transistor ?

Only thing on it is 6219 as far as I can remember? Cheers for reply.

I doubt if Nissan list the correct part number for it - just their own number which would be 4 or 5 times the price. I did a search for one some time ago and decided that it was probably a MJ10012 which could be bought from such as Farnell at the time. I bought a couple but have not tried them and not needed to try them. Thy are a Darlington pair and listed for auto ignition systems.

Will have a look and see if I have the number Peter has quoted .6219 is not coming up with anything

Thanks for that. Looks like we might be scrapping the car or the engine? Other manufacturer part numbers are “wells JP197 and SM Products LX578. These are listed for the Nissan and not Reliant.
Thanks for you help. Rob

Welcome to the forum

Seems a little excessive to scrap an engine or car for?

Some numbers here

Have looked at the PRW2 but don’t see how t wire it to our system as we have four wires on two plugs, not three on one. Five I suppose if you count the pigtail which I think is for tach? The engine was very strong when it was running so would be a good buy for someone anyway. Bought the car to do sprints and climbs. Wait and see if anything turns up, or if someone has done the four to three trick I might have a go, though I am no electrician. Our CVH SS1 is a lot less complicated!.
Cheers, Rob

I know you can buy them from RS components at about £8 for two.
I can hopefully find the number when I go to collect mine tonight.
I'll update when I get me hands on them.

Reliant Parts World had the complete module several years ago for £25, dont know if the have any left. R Part no. 94456.
Maybe worth giving them a ring.
ROCKAUTO have complete modules in stock, at a price

.
SMP LX878 or WVE/AIRTEX/WELLS 6H1199 are the correct orientation I think.
I can only find SMP LX578 listed for MAZDA MPV (1989 - 1991), MERCURY CAPRI (1991 - 1994), MITSUBISHI GALANT 1986 although it does look as if it could be used.

Contacted RPW, no stock and non on order. Looks like we are either stuck with one of the new ones which I have no idea how to wire with our harness, or just park the car up till one hopefully turns up.
What other engines fit in these cars? I know our 1985 has a Ford in it. I suppose the gearbox in the 1.8 is Nissan so no chance of Ford fitting in there. If the parts problem exists on all 1.8 bits, this would be the obvious route, at least more modern parts will be available. Life is great if thing go smoothly.

Zetec fits..

But that's not an off-the-shelf inlet manifold. One from an Escort Mk5 should fit though

Post by **scimjim** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:12 pm

I’ve fitted a K series, CVH EFi and zetec so far

MX5 is loosely dropped in to measure up.

Seems a bit excessive to do an engine change because of a dead power transistor? I’ll try and remember to check the shelves for spares if I get over to the workshop this week.

New units are easy to fit to a standard loom, only held by two little screws and just plugs out.

Cheers guys, the one in the pics above is the same as ours, except it’s dead of course.
