The parts you get from Nissan are #1 quality and you can't go wrong. They are also the most expensive. Coils from auto parts stores can be good or they can be junk. The cheap ones you get from e-bay are junk, they may fail in 6 months.

Go to rockauto.com and get the Hitachi brand. They are a quality product. You need the coil that says left or front in the description.

I'd probably stick with Hitachi. Brands like Denso, which I trust, are even more on Rockauto.
