Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the old starter motor with the listed 12V, 8 tooth, clockwise unit and check the 2 hole mount, 106mm mount centres and 10mm mount hole diameter. Those details are often the quickest way to rule a part in or out when the vehicle model alone is not enough.

The overall length of 232mm, flange diameter of 82mm and pinion diameter of 28mm are useful reference points if you are matching by sample, not just by application list. The pinion at rest is 41mm, which can matter on installations where clearance around the bellhousing is tight.

If you are replacing an existing Hitachi style starter, compare the OEM number M1T72985 and the OEX part number HXS080 with the original unit or the removed part number. Matching the part identifier is usually the safest check when several starter variants are used across the same vehicle range.

This unit is listed as new and carries a 3 year passenger vehicle warranty or 1 year commercial warranty. Warranty terms should be considered alongside the intended use, because passenger and commercial applications are treated differently in the supplied coverage.

The starter is specified as dry rather than wet/dry clutch compatible, so it should be matched carefully to the original application. If the existing starter differs in rotation, mount pattern or dimensions, do not assume the HXS080 is correct without checking the original part.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number HXS080 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Additional published details for cross-checking include OEM Number M1T72985, Product Group 2 STARTER MOTORS, Part No. HXS080, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Hitachi Style, Flange Diameter 82mm, Mount Hole Diameter 10, Overall Length 232mm, Pinion Diameter 28mm.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Hitachi Style. Part number HXS080 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number HXS080, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include NISSAN 200SX, NISSAN 200SX 1994, NISSAN 200SX 1995, NISSAN 200SX 1996. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment by part number HXS080 and OEM number M1T72985, then compare the vehicle application, mount pattern, tooth count, rotation, and measured dimensions against the removed starter motor before purchasing.
