Just thought il share this info with you. This is mainly the Chinese stuff you find on eBay!well now you can go ahead and purchase direct from the manufacturer. You may need a group buy on some items as they have a moq policy. have fun! http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=300zx+parts&Country=&IndexArea=product_en&fsb=y
What's your experience with Alibaba? I have wanted to buy a whole bunch of shit from them but some of the prices look way good to be true.
direct from china If no huge amount of money is involed, it's worth a bit of a gamble. I have purchased items direct from china and have not had an issue, quick comunication from their side too. Although may have just been lucky. Pretty sure quite a few ebay stockists use alibaba for parts, only down side for the average buyer is that there may be a minimum order amount.
95 percent you won't have issues! I've used this site to purchase machinery and so forth with no issues.. Also just ordered a fmic and a 56mm radiator for usd300 with dhl shipping.
CZPRacing? http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/395972312/EXHAUST_HEADER_for_NISSAN_300ZX_90/showimage.html From CZP Sort of similar From Z1 - Also look like the stillen ones Probably made from alfoil, but group buy for the na gurus.
That's one of the drawbacks of having parts manufactured in China, while they make yours to your specs and the quality is good, many then sell el cheapo versions of your design direct to the market
TT manifolds http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/437159652/Headers_300ZX_twin_Turbo_Z32_90.html Have to really wonder about all this gear.
Cheap cheap s2 injectors. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/453848831/NISSAN_Nozzle_Injector_16600_21U01_A46.html So much stuff that you would try purely based on how cheap it is. But the qty buy price would kill.
I can see a lot of people buying stuff from this place only to have stuff die 6 - 12 months later, people doing engine builds etc with this stuff , have a lot of zeds dying, the reputation would even go more down hill for being an unreliable car.
Hehe That's the log style manifolds I thought about a few years ago as a cheap option over OEM. I gave up on the idea once the cast MSP and AMS manifolds arrived.
Stillen catback anyone? http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/231854921/Catback_for_Nissan_300ZX_90_96.html Not sure these are actually copies... more inclined to believe these are made by the same manufacturer that made the Stillen product, they simply made more for themselves after they had the design.
Most of the stuff would be made in those factories anyway. People there get paid so little they make a few extra and sell them on the side without branding.
And you thought bomex and veilside kits were made in Japan! http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/367805343/Nissan_300ZX_Bomex_Series_1_Style.html
They probably do make them in Japan Bomex that is. The company that makes these has less then 5 employees and turnover is less then a million per year. Not sure they'd be big enough to do all the Bomex kits. Some of the stuff is NOT made in China.... those injectors for example are made in Japan.
Hey Egg I have a genuine Picasso for a mere $2,500,000 ! Would you believe i found it in a Happy Meal ! Japanese manufactured injectors distributed from China for $15 each ? I guess that would be enough for a large 300ZX parts distributor to claim Japanese quality. As long as they come with the flow test sheet ! BUHAHAHAHAHAA
I'd believe it I'd also believe the Chinese would buy a lot cheaper then Australia on such products. Check the site, you reckon they're all cloned? I doubt it very much... German Bosch injectors too. They carry nearly 2,000 products... we're not talking Nike's here. http://gzhaoxiang.en.alibaba.com/ He's a wholesaler not a manufacturer... individual operator too. I'd be certain these are genuine parts.
