Ebay Parts Evaluation!
I wanted to start a thread on evaluations on ebay parts. Wanted this thread to hopefully help out my fellow 240sx frugatistas! Items to post up: info, price, quality, personal rating, url if possible. There has been so much negativity towards ebay items, I wanted to share the good and bad experiences for everyone to see.
Ebay Underdrive pulleys-$50
They work great, good quality, they fit the ka, truly lightweight compared to stock, got them in red
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/UNDERDRI ... ccessories
Ebay Gasket kit-$42
Used all except headgasket and valve seals, gaskets looked like good quality, no leaks, fitment was perfect, well worth it!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-2- ... ccessories
Ebay t25/t28 manifold-$95
Well-made, bracing is good, quality welds, no problems so far, installation was perfect
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-99-NI ... ccessories
Ebay 3" catback-$120
Awesome sound "Deep", welds look good, fitment was pretty on-spot, quality parts
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWNX%3AIT
I recommend all the items I just posted , I will keep adding as I gain more ebay parts!

I would post up your evalutations after you have used the products for at least a year. And keep in mind, just because a weld looks pretty, doesn't mean it's structurally sufficient.
All of my reviews below are from first hand experience on several accounts minus the crank pulley.
Ebay 3" exhaust
-Within a year's time, the brackets welded to the piping all cracked in some way or broke off.
Lightweight Crank Pulley
-Using a non-dampened crankpulley is not good at all for your engine. There is a thread on here about the side-effects of not having your crank dampened.
Ebay Turbos in general
-Ebay turbos are all junk, whether they are OBX, or any other variety. Stay far away...
Ebay T2 bottom mount manifold
-They have all generally seemed stand the test of time from what I've noticed and the one that I converted to a T3 flange.
Ebay T3/T4 top mount manifold
-Top mount manifolds seem to be junk still and usually crack within a year or so.

I don't have personel exp with all the "ebay" motorsports parts but with all the research I have done before doing my setup. I came to all the same conclusions. Or it could be that only the people with the bad exp's post it up. It would be interesting to see some long term usage reviews on these parts. Trust me If there was ways to save a few bucks I would had done it. I've just read to many problems with the stuff. Flame if you want I will just fill this thread with multiple fail links.
If you don't have the money or time to do it right the first time you probaly want have it the second time either.

This has been debated on thousands of times here. And although I haven't had experience with any of the parts mentioned I still think it's common sense which part to buy.
Do you want to roll the dice and buy a part that is made by someone who is getting paid by the amount of turbos or other parts he can assemble in a day, that lives in a struggling economy and is doing all he can just to feed and shelter his family?
Or do you want to buy a part that has been engineered, developed, tested, proven, and built at a shop that lives and breaths high performance cars and built by people who most likely enjoy the same thing.

Thank you thats the kind of stuff I want to know, I've had my equipment for a short period of time. I want to see how badly it degrades over time. I however dont believe in the items like the crank pulley, too much of a item that needs to be specifically built. I'm hoping because I have a flex section downpipe, less stress will be on my manifold and exhaust brackets.

i have ebay 3in exhaust and it works great and fits, i had issues at first but i think my test pipe was too short. and i have ebay intercooler and piping they look good. i would use anything but turbos,bov,wastegates,oil line or gauge. the manifolds tend to crack but if your reweld them before hand, i heard they are nice

$55 timing chain kit, one summer so good
Cant find the 50 dollar engine gasket kit, but one summer so good, just didnt use the headgasket
CXracing Turbo's- Havent seen one go out of any of my friends that have run them, I have the center section and exhaust housing on my car now. We blew up a Garrett super 60 on my friends 20th gti this summer at 30psi, but the CX racing super 60 held fine. I wouldnt recommend them for years, but as disposable turbos they are great
I wouldnt run an ebay manifold, I wouldnt buy any manifolds because I make them, but I wouldnt trust an ebay.
Intercoolers- Most all of them work great.

as I've always said, its hit or miss guys.
Sometimes with eBay, the MFG process might vary. So you have some guy in lets say India, welding a manifold (just an example).... he might get different grades and quality of metal each day, so quality control is pretty much non existent. They work with whatever they have access to; to maximize profit.
Ebay is good for some cheap stuff, but I would not risk the car or the engine if I didnt have to. That said. Exhaust, gasket sets, wires, ...maybe. Turbos, underdrive pully, internal components... never

cx racing front mount intercooler kit. ROCKS. 209$ shipped, and the aluminum was easily welded even being my first time.

because sometimes you wanna put **** together for cheap and go beat it, and sometimes you dont need to pay ridiculous prices for simple parts. to each their own, but the people who have the mentality of installing things like kaaz diffs spend a lot more money and it takes a long time to make their car anything240tuned91 wrote:i dont get why everyone sticks up for ebay. front mounts and ic piping ok. but turbos and i saw someone talking about an ebay lsd? come on no way. ill stay with my kaaz <3

people will want to flame me for this but i kid you not when i say this
i sold my HKS hi power catback for $200.....paid $190 for a brand new OBX catback and not only was it new and shiny.....it actually looked and felt like a higher quality piece...and sounded very nice...much quieter ( which is what i wanted ) compared to my HKS.
i simply cannot fathom why people spend more than $200 on a catback ....seriously its a metal pipe.....so long as its made of stainless steel and isnt obnoxious sounding...what more are you paying for??

no diss, im saying that if you buy everything brand name and dont go with any alternatives, its going to take you a long time to put something together. example, kaaz diff over a j30. yes there are benefits to the kaaz, but they dont justify spending what you do for one. have you run an ebay turbo? my guess is not, I wouldnt rely on one for 10's of thousands of miles, but they work fine, you guys are overanalyzing the complexity of a journal bearing turbo, its very simple, and wouldnt continue selling ass loads of them if they didnt work.240tuned91 wrote:if ur trying to diss me or something i am not offended.lol but i agree cheap stuff but no turbos no diffs

truthfully if I could do it over again, I would have bought a ebay turbo! just think about it unless you have the dough to pay for a new garrett or whatnot ($up to 1000's) your going to buy a used turbo. Used turbo or brand new ebay turbo? There are so many variables for ebay turbos and diffs to fail, but guess what same thing can happen to quality goods. Poor install, alot of people dont know what the hell they are doing when they start putting things together! I bought a used sr-t25, supposedly minimal shaftplay, got it shook it a little guess what it clunked 3-4 mm shaftplay! **** was blown!, I rebuilt it (balanced and clean the right way) and it still blew the turbine seal. Guy told me some sh!t he pulled out of his ass, but after all that I spent enough to buy a new ebay. I would rather take my chance with brand new "inferior" turbo over a rice boy turbo anytime
oh ya plus is it me or when I visit honda sites and look up some ppl's builds that know there stuff, they have used ebay turbos with succession?

Lets see.
XTD clutches are ok, decent quality, I havent used but I know many who have, they're local to my area.
Ebay STAINLESS manifolds crack alot the top mounts more than the bottom. I've seen literal cracks in the pipes, not just the welds. Cheap material.
Ebay gaskets are ok, be careful with erristic brand, I've had numerous leaks an my first ka.
Do not buy the timing set from eportuning in el monte. I broke the chain and a sprocket after a month. The components looked like crap. lol I'll have to take a pic of the damage this weekend I still have the cam gear. I believe the sprocket cracked and then the chain snagged and broke. Major carnage right after I got my 240 back running.
Dont use undampened pulleys, the ka already has that half balanced crank causing all those bad harmonics.

not ka parts but ebay anyway....xs-power(ssautochrome) t-25 header(d15 honda) been runnin for 1 1/2 yrs=no problems,xs-power bov no problems,ebay guages=no problems,bell engineering fmu(bought off ebay though)= no problems,ebay steering wheel=no problems,ebay turbo timer= no problems,ebay 255lph fuel pump(autotech 255) 120psi all day,also have the same pump on my eclipse for 2 1/2 yrs=no problems,ebay boost controllers everywhere=no problems as long as you know how there meant to be hooked up. just some ebay parts i thought i'd list. as for a statement some made"a struggling economy where someone is just trying to get a paycheck or a well r&d'ed part"...i say to that,we are that struggling economy where everyone is jus trying to get a check,at least I am,when i see cucumbers and pickles i see $$$$$ dollar signs.the garret t25 on that honda had bout 45k miles on it and it blew(two actually cause one was on my car also) and that was a"well r&d'ed part,but in my opinion being an OE 300zx part it should have lasted longer than 45k miles.how many of you would like to buy a $45,000 car and spend $5000 having turbo's replaced after you drove it only 45k.
I'm not defending ebay jus letting info be known(I hate the fact that our economy is like it is because we buy all this CHINA MADE,ASIAN MADE,MEXICAN MADE "BULLSHI*T"which means all the american currency is overseas now but there are a few things you can get from them thats ok). sorry bout the book!

you'v read.... this thread is for personal experiences, I just read that cometic gaskets suck, does that make them suck? noWalperstyle wrote:Tiny T, I've read of people replacing parts often.... buying 4 cheap parts = 1 good part.
Truth is, the Kaaz clutches can take the abuse. But, that being said, if you drift your daily driver, you kinda deserve to walk.

I hope the "cometics suck" comment wasn't related to what I said in the other thread. They are great for turbo motors, just fussy with non-prestine heads and blocks.
I think this review is valuble:http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=157910&page=1
can be had for 375 on ebay
Any of you running the obx helical? I dislike obx for many reasons and would not use it in my car but if your broke and want some fun this will bolt in to your open diffs with factory output shafts, haven't heard of one breaking yet. Theres another s14 on zilvia who has ran it over a year with course drifting no problems yet. Dont forget to check backlash!
