Nissan FAST Dealer Parts Software
FAST and E-FAST are Nissan's dealer parts catalogs for Windows. They help you find parts and part numbers for Datsun and Nissan vehicles: FAST covers 1979 and later models, and E-FAST covers 1964–1978 Datsuns. Both show the exploded parts illustrations and let you build parts lists that you can print or save.
Note: E-FAST is not a stand-alone catalog. Install FAST first; E-FAST runs from inside it.
This is Windows desktop software. It will not run on a phone or tablet, and the downloads are large, so use a computer with a good connection.
What It Does
There are several ways to search for a part:
- Part description: type a part name, up to three words.
- Part number or code: type at least the first 3 characters.
- Collision estimation: pick the damage location and severity to get the parts needed for the repair.
- Illustrations: browse at three levels (General, Group and Section). Section illustrations show part codes; select one to get its part number.
FAST only (1979 and later):
- Enter a VIN and the car is fully identified (body style, paint and trim codes, engine, transmission and roof). Parts that don't fit that car are hidden from the lists.
- Save VINs under a name for later, and add memos to parts.
| If you know… | Search by |
|---|---|
| The part name, or a related part name | Description |
| At least the first 3 characters of the part code | Part code |
| At least the first 3 characters of the part number | Part number |
| The damaged area, for a collision repair | Collision |
| The area of the car, but nothing about the part | Illustration |
Tip: press * on the number pad to change the illustration background color.
Installing
The software was originally supplied on CDs; the two U.S. downloads are those discs. In outline:
- Download Disk 1 and Disk 2 below and extract them (you need a program that opens
.rarfiles, such as 7-Zip). - Find the FASTPRG folder, open the folder inside it and run Setup. Follow the installer; it creates a NISSAN folder on your C: drive.
- Inside the NISSAN folder, create two new folders named FAST and E-FAST.
- Copy everything from Disk 1 into the FAST folder, and everything from the second disc into the E-FAST folder.
- From the Start menu, open FAST for Windows → FAST setup, go to the CD-ROM setup tab, and point each catalog at its folder on C: instead of the CD drive.
- To run it, open FAST for Windows → FAST menu and pick FAST system (1979 and later) or E-FAST system (1964–1978). If E-FAST shows a small error window when it starts, click OK and it will carry on.
The full step-by-step guide with every click is in the installation guide below.
