any word on ISIS????

[Steady_One_S13]

I can't afford the real deal (most times). Well, at least, for now. I do have the Isis Sr20 pulley set. Works fine to me. I don't notice the difference, and I mos def don't believe that this product will fall apart (imho). As far as suspension, I will go with some name brand product that is backed with performance.

[SolaraOnBronze]

Yeah, I think you can risk it sometimes with some parts, but suspension is not something I would want to risk.

Also, read this.

"Enjuku Racing Parts is introducing a new budget minded Product line. Every ISIS part that we sell will be/has been fully tested. We are taking this product line to a different height than any other "ebay" crap out there. Those companies dont have any idea what they are even selling. Enjuku Racing is comitted to providing only the best parts at the best prices.We have received and tested the brand new ISIS Short throw shifters. These shifters compare very well with the higher end brands and work great at less than half the price."

I really dont believe they would BS about testing stuff... not enjuku...

[numbnuts240]

No. Your legit shifter rattles.

so does my legit b&m. it's not the shifter, it's the crappy bushing provided. a brass replacement bushing will remedy the problem.

[spooled240]

some things are harder to screw up on like pulley sets and a short shift. Suspension pieces however have to be pretty strong with good welds.

I've seen ISIS tension rods for example and they do look skinnier than most aftermarket tension rods but the OEM tension rods are pretty skinny as well!

How can this be weaker than OEM?OEM:

a lot of the stress on tension rods is in-line with the shaft so you don't really need a f***in box tube rod under there anyway

Im buying the s14 sr20 intake mani to try. I will be writing a review and all that jazz.

which one of those two can last 100,000 miles.

[spooled240]

i don't see how the ISIS ones wouldn't last 100,000 miles other than the pillow ball joint wearing out but the OEM rubber bushings wear out also.

[pj]

i dont know much about them, stuffs not pricey at all. its not BV but itll do...i do like thier straight pipe cat back, looks cool. could do it yourself for cheaper but still, its cool their offering up somthing like that.

[Didderson]

Greeneyes told me that they're just Chinese products enjuku is taking a chance on. Take a look at the welds on their radiators and you may see what I see. Aka not a quality product. I'm sure it will work fine but you not only get wut u pay for, you almost pay quality product prices so why not just step it up. Idk man i was told to use oem rad hoses instead of Isis. Chalk one up for kalypso.

B&M deserves a wag of the finger for supplying an inferior bushing with the shifter.

i trust keegan on lots of things cuz the man does his research, but wheres he get his info from? i personally just think i'd trust ken from enjuku at his word. i don't want any one to get the idea and think i'm pro isis, i'm just relaying that i'm pro enjuku and have faith in them not only to test what they sell but to to take of the consumer should anything go wrong. and so far all i've heard his heresay that isis is junk, not a single person that i've seen has stepped forward with a horror tale. just remember, people were skeptical of pbm at first. no company is going to be trusted right off the bat

[ZOMG.SR20]

name dropping ftl

[White Comet]

^ i'm not sure what you mean

[ZOMG.SR20]

ex. everyone goes around saying i have PBM, Stance, greddy, etc. the I say i have Isis people say that sux then i ask why they say well Ive never heard of it so it cant be good

BTW ISIS is made in the USA

[Kalypso]

Ok here's my bottom line. Isis parts are decent.... they may not be god awful.. but they're not top teir parts... at all.

i don't see how the ISIS ones wouldn't last 100,000 miles other than the pillow ball joint wearing out but the OEM rubber bushings wear out also.

oem parts are engineered with greater precision and durability then Isis parts will ever be.

Yes the name does matter... especially if its one like HKS, JUN auto, or TRUST... the companies that pioneered and built our nissan tuning heritage.

thank you Didderson, and yes Greeneyes is RIGHT... these parts are made to sell

Im buying the s14 sr20 intake mani to try. I will be writing a review and all that jazz.

this is what you might get...inferior casting



im not rich, but I do believe in high quality parts. either that, or make it from scratch.

I doubt an Isis part will last 100,000 miles. The shaft itself may last, but not the heim. You might have THIS happen before you hit 100k:

[pj]

that intake manifold look like straight total s***....having to dremel your new parts, fail.

[Kalypso]

four lug and PJ to the rescue.

experience Nico heads prevail.

OEM has to be strong or nissan with face lawsuits and Liability issues. so yes Isis sucks more hten your used oem parts.

its cause of all the knockoff artists that trust went bankrupt!!! without them there would be no greddy knockoffs.

[White Comet]

eh greddy is alright i'm not a huge fan though. they go from having great products like their oil pan or intake manifold to total crap like some of their electronic stuff

[Kalypso]

greddy, hks, jun, ftw

[ZOMG.SR20]

greddy, hks, jun, ftw

take your name brands a shove them up your azz

that intake manifold look like straight total s***....having to dremel your new parts, fail.

[fourLUG_hero]

hey, im all for a do it yourself'er....but i dont care who you are, that port looked like garbage.and if you can polish a turd like that as well as make it look and function like the peice it was copied from in 5 minutes, hell, ill stop workin on my own stuff, sell my tools and pay you to work on all my s***. but prolly i wont do that

[ZOMG.SR20]

i could i might and i charge 50$

i buy knock offs and make them work like the real thing

[NismoZRS]

sorry about zombie'ing this thread.. but i'd like to announce that Enjuku has stopped selling these coilovers.. not sure if its because everyone was too scared to buy them or if that they were JUST like ebay garbage.. but either way, we may never know O_o

my guess... they probably work as well as Ebay's..

[gnvarnadore]

you might want to contact Ken at Enjuku about that because last i heard they remove some items from the site if they arent in stock. Ken will also tell you that Enjuku stands behind all the products they sell and that should you have any issues with any product to contact them right away. Ive dealt with Enjuku a few times and their customer service cant be beat.
