EBAY PARTS ARE JUNK!

[truth211]

I must have been a cheap a** retard for ever thinking about and following through with buying eBay junk and an even bigger nut sack for actually using them on my 240sx.

None of them fit and none of them worked correctly! What absolute SH*T! I have struggled and struggled with trying to make the parts fit and NO GO! The turbo headers were made completely wrong and the Mid pipes and the downpipes did not fit right. They all were angled wrong and then welded.

What the hell does "DIRECT REPLACEMENT" mean anyway if they don't? LIES!!! AND GOD DA*M LIES> I HATE EBAY AND HOPE THEY DIE!!!!!!!

All my parts; turbo header, mid pipe, down pipe, flange, v band locations etc had to be made. However there was one place that was a life saver. CHRISTIANKUSTOMZ! I hit up their website and spoke to John down there and he hooked me up with parts that fit and gave me some really good information. I am still working some kinks out and replacing the eBay parts with theirs. I would rather spend the extra money and get parts that will fit right then go through this head ache. I have to file through paypal and then lose even more money when I have top return their piece of SH*T parts. Freaking Chinese junk!

http://www.ChristianKustomz.com

Hit up that website and check em out. They are a life saver and the guy is really knowledgeable about these cars. They got a some nice things for sale too. As soon as I get more money I will be buying more from them. I really need my car done. So the whole point to this is....

I F-ING HATE EBAY!EBAY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool story bro

[duffman1278]

Says you've been on this site since 2007, did like NEVER look at the 240sx section once?!! Because if you had you would have seen at least a dozen "EBAY PARTS SUCK" threads made.

[lrb_2000]

lol.. the stuff on that website you posted is rediculous... WAY too expensive.. $700 for a modified ebay manifold? no thanks.. looks like he just buys the cheap a** manifolds on ebay, cuts the collector and angles the flange a little better... he must be making bank of that crap, if anyone is dumb enough to buy it..

I've never had a problem with ebay. But I don't buy turbo parts and such.

[Black on Gold]

Whats up with all these face palm threads. This, and the "360 Drift" are by far the worst threads in awhile

[Ghast]

I don't like the way the site looks.....

Just so you know hahaha.

I don't like the way the site looks.....

Just so you know hahaha.

People have very odd tastes, I do not like that hatch at all.

[enderandhisgame]

This would bother me. It looks like it would get in the way sooooooo much.

[pj]

None of them fit and none of them worked correctly!

[Black on Gold]

Why have a tweeter next to a speaker?

[E7-S14]

[ZX88]

nice freakin dice. ++++++200 HOT IMPORT NIGHTS POINTS++++++

[truth211]

Wow. I guess I hit a nerve with you people. Geesh get a life and narrow down a bit. I just want to help them out because they helped me out. I like John because he is brutally honest and he takes care of people and cars. I know he also helps the local community out too so I know this dude alot better then all of you so to say derogative things about him and his business is not right. You don't know him. So to those with unfair comments with no value at all...SCREW YOU! When you do what he does then you can say something until then just shut up. However I don't like the website much either but its easy to navigate. Plus it's only been up for a few months. Yeah I think they are pricey too but really, it's worth it to have a part fits right, people you can talk to and a company that stands by their parts. To me it was worth it. I can't get a hold of these other companies and it pissed me off. besides the manifolds are made by hand. I know because I got one from them. I compared it to the other ones I got (OBX, MEGAN and EBAY) and there is a big difference in the weight and the welds. All I know is after I dumped a crap load of money into manifolds I finally found one that worked and fit right. It was worth it to me. I also do not come on NICOCLUB often because there are too many wannabe mechanics and people who are just stupid and feel like putting others down with their unwanted opinions. YES YES YES...I know. Who the hell buys from eBay? I know shame on me. I was being cheep and did not have alot of money. It ended up costing me alot of money in the long run anyway. By the way why poke fun at this guys car? I have seen it and there is a ton of work done to it. It looks sweet. I don't like people who put others down. You probably don't have anything worth while but feel the need to talk trash to make yourself feel better. Your a jerk. This guy took care of me and helped me beyond help. You can't get that on line. Stop being so narrow minded. Instead of being judgmental you should really give this guy a chance.

<-------- To those pitiful NICO punks/posers/and those who's 240's look like trash

There is nothing that is hand made that is cheap. Everything known to man that is professionally handmade is expensive...even Greddy, HKS, Apexi and so on! Your paying for things that are made with quality, made right and fit. The parts I got I know are not going to break because of how it's made. Thick welds and it's solid. Not sure of the other stuff but if it's anything like the header I am for it. The other stuff you can get is thin and junk. I think you are probably paying for the better material and the time it takes to do it right. You all are used to cheap sh*t. Pay the money and get quality. Thats what I should have done in the beginning. I like HKS and GREDDY and the rest too but really there is not alot of difference in my opinion between CK's stuff and name brands. This thing is solid. Thats all I know.

[Black on Gold]

The difference between HKS, Greddy, Mine, etc are years of experience and testing.

I dont really want something coming from the hands of a 26 year old who riced out his S13

[E7-S14]

all ebay stuff aren't crap.the problem is inconsistency most of the time.

you get a bad batch here and there.quality control isn't all that great for some companies

[duffman1278]

It's been said over and over! It comes down to the R&D, its not just that welds look solid and the material LOOKS the same as the ebay stuff, its about difference in materials on the microscopic level. The top names, I can bet use much greater material processes and know what materials to use for what, where as the ebay crap just gets something close and probably with poor metal treatment.

[pj]

parts from companies like hks and blitz are awesome, nuff said.anyone that says diff, is a liar.this topic is old as crap but this is what i say again:cheap stuff not detrimental to engine performance (shift knobs, seats, random trinkets...all can be had for cheap on ebay.but to buy things like manifolds, turbos, non-name brand electronics, cheap mystery suspension components, internals...is just being foolish, its all hit or miss and you all should know this by now...if you buy somthing and it doesnt fit, dont complain, either return it or make it fit and deal with your purchase.dont whine.
