Ok, I find a lot of stuff scattered around, but there always seem to be questions, so I would like to start a thread where we can call comment of parts for these cars on eBay that are good, bad, or whatever, so we can get a concise grouping started up...

so start posting what parts we've bought on eBay, and whether they were worth buying, or not...

 

Knock Sensor. Cheap and working fine for a year so far.

 

anyone here happen to buy those clear bunper signal lights? in looking to get some input on them before i buy them

 

if you are talking bout the jdm ones with the black housing i got them they work great just a little condensation in the far left bumper light but nothing to go crazy about

 

black housing jdm tail lights work great no problems
d2 suspension great

 

I bought them, they look good, you just gotta be careful with the the clip that you need to snap in...if don't do it right...it will break.

 

i bought maf sensor, had it on my car 6month and still working.

 

R34's (black) + signal & corner lights (black)
Maxspeed springs
Knock sensor
FSTB
Selenium 6.5inch speakers-competition grade

i think thats about it from ebay..
no problems with any of it.

 

No issues with my clear corners, RSTB, hi flow cat, and altima headers.

 

I bought:

OEM Knock Sensor
e55 Bi-Xenon Hella projectors
Denso Toyota ballasts
Projector shrouds
clear glass headlights
d2s 8k HID bulbs
smoked bumper lights
corner lights
MAF
95-96 tail lights

leather shifter boot

leather center console armrest cover
AEM Dryflow CAI air filter

No problems with any of it. Everything was great quality, and has caused me no problems at all

 

pointless thread, anybody can say o look i bought this or that. learn on your own, easier to buy from trusted sights or sponsored venders here on the org. this has been done 60 billion times allready, cmon.....

 

I've bought a grille, and clear corners from Ebay, and its been so far a year and it is still in good shape.

Although the clear corners are getting a bit of condensation inside them.

 

ebay corners can either suck or last a few years. i've had 4 pairs and condensation is a problem with them. ebay in general sux, i get all my parts from autopartswarehouse.com or courtesynissan, more reliable that way.

 

Just b/c you have had bad experiences doesn't mean everyone will, and everything ebay is bad. When shopping on ebay, discretion must be used, but you can find good quality parts on there if you look. There are also OEM parts sold on ebay. Some Nissan dealerships do have ebay stores as well, as do junkyards. With that said, I dont buy any mechanical parts on there, except for my OEM knock sensor and parts for my retro, but other things I get from there.

 

e-bay has decent parts at a decent to cheap price look at it that way now if u want to go OEM the u will have to pay i say 30 to 40 percent more.

 

Not necessarily. We, on the org, have many options for discount OEM parts. We can get parts from Dave B, and Courtesy Nissan. Another member also recently posted the link to another dealership with reasonable prices, McCarthy Nissan. Here is a link: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=215478
If you want OEM parts at a reasonable price, we have options.

 

I have gotten black housing corners, multiple fog light bulbs (searching for the right color), and my HID kit from ebay. So far, the corners have a huge condensation problem and dont even fit right, the fog light bulbs are either the wrong color or burn out within weeks, and the HID kit works great so far.

 

I've had mine for 2 years now and haven't had any condensation issues.

 

Forgot to mention my tape to aux converter :P that works well, nbd though

 

4 pairs? a little condensation bothers you that much? jeez

 

Bomz SRI - So far one of my best value purchases to date, $20, sounds awesome, after a year I think the filter needs to be replaced but it's been an awesome year.
Black Corner Lights - Meh, yellowing out after awhile, brought it for like $30 i'm not frettin.
Rear Motor Mount - So Far so good
Passenger Side Mount - So far so good
OBX 3.5 Headers - So far very awesome
Knock Sensor - To be determined
OEM Z33 Clutch - was bnib from a dealer clearance, got it for the low-low
OEM 02-03 Pressure Plate - see above.
OEM 02-03 Cable Shifter - see above.
NIssan Center Caps - See above.
A bunch of bushings - Good ish, but it's from the company's clearance... doesn't really count as a ebayer....

 

nope, 2 accidents and 1 pair did'nt fit right so i bought another pair.

 

lol no doubt man.

Bullet Racing muffler
BOMZ SRI
Shift ****
REd Hot Resonator
Knock Sensor
Kenwood speakers
Kenwood Amplifier
Subwoofer box
And Countless other products I really cant remember...

Never had a problem with any of it not working as advertised or not fitting properly. I only buy new and only from sellers with good ratings.

 

a trick to help w condensation in the corners/head/tail lights, etc...buy some silicone from home depot, etc and just give it a once over where the seal is. let it dry and bam! no more condensation if done right.

i bought a lot from ebay for a bunch of cars.

tein s tech springs (my 94 prelude)

kyb gr-2 shocks (^for same car)

e.s. hyper flex kit (^for same car)

no name brand 6000k hid's which have lasted me thru one front end accident and still work till this day and are going on around 3.5 years of use with NO flickering...(who said cheap hid's dont work/last?!)

kicker tweeters

misc gaskets

front pads/rotors

cat back stock exhaust

i cant even remember what else...BUT no problems at all from anything i have purchased!

 

2 accidents doesn't sound like ebays fault lol

Evidence? My forementioned clutch set up (clutch+pp+tob) was under $100 and its better than stock (coughforamaximacough)... I forgot to mention my sub was bnib, diamond audio d3 12" dvc for $65...

 

I bought an ignition switch off E-Bay for $21.90 a few months ago from seller autopartsnerd and it's worked beautifully since I put it in.

...and from seller mlkautoparts I bought a center dash vent with the defroster and hazard light switch, since I accidentally broke my vent when I swapped out my stereo (and my defroster switch was messed up anyway). The transaction went well, and the part worked perfectly.

 

So your telling me that an OEM part sold by a Nissan dealership on ebay cheaper, wont be as good as an OEM part sold on a Nissan dealership website? Please explain that one.

 

Bought a catback sounds great, fit perfect. Love it.
