Hi guys, first time poster here. Recently I began my rebuild/repair job on my 3rd gen Maxima VG30 ( Fuel injectors, Valve cover gaskets, water pump, thermostat, timing and drive belts,intake manifold gaskets, PCV, and fuel pump etc.).
Though most of the issues have been fairly easy DIY stuff and cheap for parts - when it comes to the fuel injectors, I see a WIDE variety of prices on the web and local suppliers. (MN) After searching long and hard, I have seen REALLY cheap prices for the exact same injectors listed at twice the price elsewhere leaving me to wonder if that supplier isn't trustworthy or if their brands are crap.

For example, http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/ Lists them at 389.00 for a set of 6 http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/shop/ ... ductid=291
which I find rather hard to believe since other major sites list them at around 6-700.00 for the same set. Has anybody purchased from this company before?
Also, has anybody had experience with other brands such as:
http://www.python-injection.com/
http://www.beckarnley.com/

or are these parts trash thus the cheap price.
There seems to be no reviews regarding which company makes the best product for the buck.....seems all I hear discussed is Bosch.

Any input/reviews regarding these brands and suppliers would be greatly appreciated :)

Thx

no opinions? I find that kind of hard to believe.... So nobody has a company or brand that has worked better than others ?

I personally have no experience with a specific brand of injectors, but i'd probably choose Beck Arnley first and then Bosch would be my second choice. Beck Arnley is usually closer to OEM from what I recall, but if you want to do it right, then buy them directly from Nissan. I personally would buy them from RockAuto.com or a local auto parts store, so you can get a lower price than the dealer and can return them under warranty if they have any issues.

Yeah, I actually found some NEW Beck Arnleys for only 50 bucks a piece on clearance (Amazon.com) Though it seemed like everywhere I went they were 110-160 dollars a piece.......only info I could REALLY find out was that people like Bosch and hate Python, but no real comparative data seems to exist.
