Im sure everyone scours Ebay for Nismo anything for their cars. Everyone in Ebay advertises that the item is JDM... well, heres some of the common stuff on Ebay I found in Autobacs.

Sorry the pictures are taken from my cellphone

from left to right... $85, $85, $85.. yes, its expensive at Autobacs

from left to right...$72, $72, $42, $42, $80

$12 for the stickers, $25 for the key things..

So there you have it... most of the stuff on Ebay is generic stuff with stickers on it... so beware what you buy.. if you need my help to find out if its JDM or not let me know... well, as long as I can find it in Autobacs or Yellow Hat...

Some of those radiator caps **may** be rated to hold more pressure. A good thing if you have a serious engine.

Possibly (in which case you'd be right)... but doubtful.

$75 for a NISMO thermostat is just friggin retarded.

Autobacs has some overly priced stuff... but the thing is I wanted to show you these items so you know what it really looks like since most of the stuff in Ebay is fake...

Keep in mind that when it bears the name Nismo, its the best quality... and you guys are right the prices are way too high.
