Also, have you considered getting new hinges? They're only like 16-18 bucks at the dealer (you can get them online from Courtesy). It might be safer than used hinges from a JY.

Just to close the loop, I ended up using the used hinges and they seem to work fine. As I said before, I went through several of the Maximas at the Pull-A-Part and fouind one that didn't seem to have any door drop and I took those hinges. Since someone yanked my front bumper cover off a few weeks ago and I hadn't installed the replacement yet, it looked like the easiest way to do the hinges was to take the fender off. I did run into some trouble. The bottom bolt that you have to open the door to get to broke off, and the bolt at the very bottom of the fender behind the front wheel broke as well. My plan was to install the hinges one at a time with the door closed and then it would line up perfectly. I tried that and the door still hit the latch a little low and then lifted up as it closed completly, So I took the hinge to body bolts a little loose and then jacked the back of the door up to the right height and then tightened the bolts again and now the door works like a charm. I had to drill and tap the holes where the bolts broke, but other than that the job was pretty easy.
