knock sensor, Bosch or OEM ?

the title basically says it all.. i gotta replace mine and the four dealerships here are all quoting me at around $180.. i found one on here ( clicky) for $112 but it says that it's Bosch.. my question is, is the OEM one Bosch too or is it a nissan part? also, which is better, ie give me better service and last longer?
thanx..

I found some OE at www.partznet.com for $123 plus shipping. Although I think they have free shipping special right now.www.partznet.com
I hope this helps.

Go with Bosch!

Some of the OEM sensors are Mitsubishi some are bosch and some are Yugo! Buy Bosch - or buy it again in 10k miles....

I bought the Bosch one and all the #'s and markings were identical to my oem one, even their placement. Makes me wonder if the oem one is Bosch.

The OEM O2 sensors are Bosch, so it wouldn't surprise me that the KS is, too.

By the way, Nismo, we're talking sensors, not plugs
