Where to find: cheap ks

As im sure most of you have replaced your ks at least once, where did you get it, and how much was it.

Had rear 02 sensor code, and 0304 code, replaced the 02 sensor, now 0304 is still there as a ghost code. So Im looking for good prices on the ks.

Crap... I just ordered one off of eBay for $99. It says it's a Genuine Nissan part...

My question is, which is better, if any...
1) "Genunine Nissan" knock sensor off eBay
2) Some generic brand sensor from Auto Zone (which comes with a warrenty, BTW...)

BTW, the Pinnacle Nissan/Infiniti site I found (http://www.pinnaclenissan.com) was selling the knock sensor for $123.06...

Another cheap place I found was www.CurtesyParts.com for $119.95.

100 bucks aint bad at all. I was looking around onlne, first place i went ws advance auto's website, they said 279 or something, i was like...
because i thought that they were only around 100.

njmodi are you sure about that price? do you have a contact there or something?

edit: pinnacle nissan's website lists it as 123.06. ebay it is.

They had a special a while back (similar to JR Nissan). They had a bunch of "same as" but not labelled "Nissan" knock sensors that they were selling for $79 including shipping. I just checked their website and I didn't see it at a quick glance, but it wouldn't hurt to call them and check to see if they still have any.

Jerry Rome was selling the same ones for $89+shipping.

DANG!!! This sucks! I waited an hour for the engine to cool down, finally got my hand and a box wrency down inside of there, and then finally got the box wrench on the bolt, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not get that thing loosed... I keep questioning myself... "Counter-clock wise... right? yea... --umm, i think...."

But I think it's just cause I didnt really have much leverage to put any force into loosening it... I even tried getting some adjustable socket wrench, which didn't work becuase there was no room to turn it...

Any ideas? I'm thinking about just taking it down to some local car shop and let them do it... Any tips from someone who's done it before? I printed the instructions listed on one of the stickies, and I know how to do it.... ARG!!! lol
