Thats a comparison of two different sources that i can get parts to re-build the rb25. the question is would you save the 140 dollars and buy the items from ebay or would you buy it from the reputable company?

I've found that ebay is kind of a gold mine if you know where and how to look. Yes there are endless amounts of scams to just get your money, and knock-off china made crap, but there are also reputable company's on there that are just selling products at a lower cost due to not being able to move it off there shelves locally. I have a bike shop down the street from my house that sells bikes on ebay that they cant sell, or that are late models, just because no one wants them locally, it's the same premises.

Just my .02 cents though.

There are many legitimate companies on ebay that sell legitimate parts, NEW. Just because it's on ebay, doesn't mean it's a fake. I wouldn't worry too much about "getting ripped off" if the seller displays a decent listing, item description, rating, etc. Check out Nissanparts.cc and Nismoparts.com too for legitimate pricing and parts. Just by looking at your price list I could tell you that you could save another 200 dollars if you buy everything from them.

haha I was going to say shipping might be the equalizer if you get free shipping from the single company.

Purchase parts from a reputable company, preferably a *NICO CLUB VENDOR* to support the site.

Sure you can save some scratch ordering from various places online especially Ebay. I would rather not take the chances with a supposed 'good deal' only to find out the deal was not as good as implied. (I.E. Discover your $400 manifold is a Freddy, or one of the knock-off N62 AFMs that are floating around currently)
