After looking at the offered line at Rock Auto I see your point. What on earth makes those pumps so high in price other that they are a particular design that fits nothing else?
Myself, I would be subbing likely something that was never made to go in a Nissan but then I do things like that. You don't get that quick though, some thought and time have to go into it but to save a couple of hundred bucks?? Oh yes, count me in.
I use $35 pumps on Fords that are supposed to use $100-$400 ones and zero issues but I had to create the 'kit' it takes to swap the pump out.
FYI, since Walbro went quiet to just sell pumps to distributors mostly and not to the general public if they can avoid it (the warranty issues drive them utterly mad due to the incompetence of the public),..........well, a LOT of the branded pumps you get are actually Walbro, it is commonly laser etched into the pump cases regardless of what is printed on the box as far as brand. Spectra, Delphi, Carter, Airtex, commonly use a Walbro in their pump sets. Good pump except it's not the high-perf one, it still works well. That what those $35 ones I use are or have been so far.
