OEX Starter Motor 12V 9TH CW Hitachi Style HXS042

The OEX HXS042 is a remanufactured 12V starter motor in a 9 tooth, clockwise rotation Hitachi style configuration. It is listed as a 2 hole starter mount type with an 82mm flange diameter, 106mm mount centres, and M10 x 1.5 mount hole diameter, so the physical dimensions can be checked against the existing unit before ordering.

This unit is rated at 1.4kW and has a pinion diameter of 29mm, pinion at rest of 41.5mm, and an overall length of 190mm. Those measurements matter when matching a starter motor, because even where the electrical specification is correct, the mounting pattern and drive dimensions must still suit the vehicle application.

OEX identifies this starter as suitable for Hitachi unit make applications and notes that it is interchangeable with an 8th Mitsubishi version. The listed warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which is useful context for buyers comparing operating conditions and service expectations.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the part number HXS042 with the number on the existing starter or the part reference supplied for the application. The starter is a 12V, 1.4kW unit with 9 teeth and CW rotation, so those details need to line up with the vehicle’s original starter specification.

The mounting data is just as important as the electrical rating. This unit has an 82mm flange diameter, 106mm mount centres, and M10 x 1.5 mount holes, with a 2 hole starter mount type. If any of those dimensions differ from the vehicle or the removed starter, fitment should be checked again before purchase.

The pinion details can also affect compatibility. The pinion diameter is 29mm and the pinion at rest is 41.5mm, which are practical checks when comparing the replacement unit against the original. The starter is also listed as dry, so it is intended for dry clutch applications as specified.

OEX lists this starter as remanufactured, not new, and gives a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. That makes it worth checking whether the vehicle is used privately or in commercial service, as the stated warranty period differs by application type.

The listed weight is 4.32kg, which can be a useful reference when comparing the replacement against the unit being removed. If you are cross-checking through a workshop or parts counter, matching the physical measurements and the HXS042 part number is the safest way to confirm the correct starter motor.

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 HXS042 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.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Hitachi Style. Part number HXS042 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 HXS042, 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 180SX, NISSAN 180SX 1991, NISSAN 180SX 1992, NISSAN 180SX 1993. 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number HXS042, the 12V 9 tooth CW Hitachi style specification, and the mounting and dimensional details before ordering. If there is any difference in the removed starter, compare it carefully against the vehicle application rather than relying on appearance alone.
