I'm trying to replace the 4 O2 sensors on my Pathfinder, and the ones I've received, the terminal blades are vertical and the ones on my vehicle are horizontal. And yes I can cut the wires and solder and shrink wrap the old connectors, but am I possibly ordering the wrong ones.

My pro date is 03/00, so I've even tried to call it a 2000. I called Nissan and they asked my if the VIN had a 7Y instead of something else

any suggestions and I will be grateful. Also I'm looking for Bosch, buddy told me either Bosch or Denso. Anyone have a preference?

Use the factory part numbers for your search and not make-model-year. Visit NissanPartsDeal.com and enter your VIN, that will get you the correct part numbers for your particular ride. Then use those for googling or in RockAuto's Part Number Search tab.

I tried the Nissan parts deal site and it only listed one O2 sensor and for $233 !!! And the 2 others were cut and splice.

Just get the part number from the site, you don't need to buy it there. Use the p/n to cross-reference aftermarket parts. When an aftermarket supplier claims exact equivalence, you can be about 99.5% sure it actually is equivalent.
