Does anybody know where I can get some new or good condition rocker gear for the old TD42? :D

I am guessing that he knew he could get them from Nissan dealers.
It was probably just the point that he didn't want to pay very much for them.

Yep, by the time you buy the parts from Nissan it is pretty expensive, the shaft is worn and so are inside of the rockers.

A new rocker shaft used to be $170 from Nissan which I bought, I then had the screw adjusters refaced and the rockers machined and bushed, can't remember all up cost but it wasn't to bad.

Thanks guys for all your help and advice, I have had a good look at the parts I have and the rockers will go another turn so I just need a new rocker shaft which I have ordered.
