Message	Hey guys. Whats the take on ebay parts ? for example, check this one out. [ http://www.ebay.com/itm/90-96-Nissan-300ZX-Non-Turbo-3-0L-VG30DETT-Timing-Belt-Water-Pump-Kit-/360452003760?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A300ZX&hash=item53ec9d17b0&vxp=mtr ] $133 shipped vs OEM 400-500 bucks. I just bought a NA with 140,000 miles, runs perfectly fine with 180 compression across the board. However with the milege it has and being a NA, I am wondering if spending 130 bucks is the better route vs spending 4 times the amount in a Z with such mileage ( I paid 600 bucks for it ) what do you guys think? anyone else running ebay timing belt kits? problems?
