Where can I get the Upgraded Starter?

The part number was originally N3H1-18-400 then it became N3H1-18-400A and eventually became N3Z1-18-400 which is the upgraded starter.

The newest version available in the US is N3H1-18-400R0A which is a remanufactured unit and requires your core in exchange.

Mazmart was offering the upgraded starters a few months back but now they are sold out and selling the remanufactured units for 55$ more!

Yes, but somebody must have a few left in inventory somewhere. *fingers crossed*

I got a PM from MAZMART "6" yesterday saying you no longer have these in stock.

Are you serious?
