Im all about giving business to someone who helps us org. members out, and dave b aint bad at around 358 shipped to mass, but theres a guy on ebay, and i think hes on the forums too, but hes got em for 270 shipped anywhere. I got em a week or 2 ago, and will be puttin em in on tuesday. Great Deal.... 270 is a around what a dealership pays for them, so they could never beat that price, no matter what.

LOL this is not a problem for 5th gen this is A BIG ISSUE.

Called DaveB a couple hours ago and he priced me @ 70.74 for a shipped piece although I've seen some where in coil threads that he let them for $55. So I went ahead and bought it @nissanpart4u.com 4 64.49

I've got a few used coils for sale in the 5th gen section. Going to be testing which are good in a day or two.

Bought mine from an ebay seller for $302 shipped to GA. They are grey dot, came in Genuine Nissan packaging, and worked.

Here is the seller, and he is offering a free key to go with the coils, now... missed that one by a week (d***)

WOW, that's a hell of a deal. I paid $335 with tax and that's with my dealer employee discount. (Below so called wholesale)
Dave's price is pretty good, IMO...

coils

I have several sets of used coils for the front (or left) bank of cylinders for both the 4th gen (95-99) and 5th gen (00-01) engines.
To answer questions that are sure to come:
1. No, I don't have any for the rear (or right) bank for either gen;
2. Where did they come from?? Last year I sourced several 5th gen 00VI systems to re-sell on the org, and with each also got the full set of coils. The rear coils (along with the rear valve covers) were sold as part of the 00VI setup. That left me with several sets of fronts. All of these came from salvage yards out of engines that had been in cars that were totaled. Thus, although I've not tested them and can offer no guarantees, I feel there's a high degree a certainty that they will work fine. I used 3 rears in my own 4th gen engine when I did the 00VI modification, and that's been about a year now with no problem. I also used 3 of the fronts when I switched over to a 5th gen front valve cover, and again, no problems. And no, I didn't cherry-pick or keep switching them until I found ones that worked. These are all OEM made by Hanshin, and have part number 22448-2Y005 stamped on them.
I have 4 sets of the 5th gen fronts, plus one set of the 4th gen fronts (which came out of my own engine and were working just fine). The price is $50 per set of 3, shipped - or best offer. That's considerably less than a single new coil's going to cost you unless someone puts together a hell-of-a group deal.
