That has been the case for a long while. It's basically the same thing, since it is hard to get a hold of the geniune SSAC header (which is a rip of Hot Shot)

I know that most of your parts are not eBay stuff!! Just the UNimportant ones like O2 sensors, cooling fans, and exhaust headers!!

I lied... I had to comment on this one...

An budget minded man, saves money by finding inexpensive parts for repairs & ignore others advice,
An econimical man, find high quality parts at a discount but loses all of the savings with shipping cost,
The smart man, learns from other people mistakes, listens to advise, and finds superior performance parts from a hookup!



Gosh Scotty, you really did have a rough week

O2 sensor is universal yes.

SSAC header is used bought from forum member in 07. SSAC headers are no longer sold on eBay because they got banned for ripping other people's designs

Got my Knock Sensor of eBay, Genuine Nisan though, got my Resonator of eBay, Magnaflow though, got my CAI on eBay Genuine AEM.

Bought my Pulleys of forum member, but guess what I did with the Front Main Seal? NOT EBAY, actually went out and got a Genuine Nissan Stealership Front Main Seal haha.

So the only eBay brand items that I got that of eBay is Front O2 sensor (Bosch Universal) and Resonator-back exhaust. Which I actually got of a forum member.

I actually wish I didn't bother with the exhaust, I've had way too many problems with it and it being too loud. The gains are not all that great hehe.

So there

It's a crapshoot. I've seen Ebay/aftermarket stuff that is as good as OEM, and "superior performance parts" which are 4x the cost and total junk.

Jensen does things the quick and dirty way... his problem is that he's not OCD like us.

Haha true, look at SSAC and Hotshot, If I recall correctly, Hotshot made a flex pipe that would rub against the crossmemeber...

I dunno if he is not OCD enough, I think it's more of not rich enough... kinda like me haha. I'll look for the best deal that I can get haha.

There are a few things I've bought at full price:

My Car - Paid book value of $5k for it then to find out that it was sludgy...

Cusco FSB -
Bolt In Bars RSB -
JWT Pop charger - From Courtesy Parts, so it was not MSRP

Thats about it

Today, Im better!! Went to the bar last night!! Great reliever!!

Kewl.. but I do remember other eBay stuff that we discussed!!
But good... That stuff is soooooo undependable!!
You have no idea if its reman, rejects, or junk pulled..

I do understand about the $$'s thing.. But, the OEM junkyard stuff is probably a better solution.

try a nearby town or West Virginia with a junkyard with foreign car parts..
You will probably find parts we need, cause no one around there is looking for Japenese cars.
You live in hills and they like pickup trucks, Fords & Chevys out there..
