Appreciate the heads up, but I strongly recommend against buying from this seller. The feedback is not good, and I remember seeing that they had been selling items under at least one other ebay ID that was apparently suspended due to fraud. I remember seeing auctions with the exact same pictures. Can't remember the ID name, though. And I'm quite certain that is NOT a JDM pullout.

Thanks for the haeds-up!:D.Hope your not too disapointed, but it is likely not JDM, as it sports a USDM plenum.

But thanks for the heads -up anyway, there are always folks looking for engines.

Out of curiosity, what does JDM and USDM mean? I assume that J means Japan and US means United Staes, but the other letters elude me!

Others may have more experience, but at least when I have seen a Japanese engine, the plenum trim says Nissan, instead of bearing the Infiniti logo.

Either way, scum-bags that commit fraud on things like that on Ebay should be tarred and feathered. Thank you Robert for the heads up. I don't think I'd buy any parts off of Ebay without another member's opinion.
