ECU codes 13 and 34

How to you distinguish between an OE Manufacturer, a "trusted or manufacturer", and an Autozone OE replacement part? Or an Isis/ISR Oe replacement? Please explain because they all are going to look EXACTLY the same outside of the packaging.
You say buy oe only, but then say that non-Oe sources are okay. Who knows if those are genuine...

Experience...

Work on hundreds of nissans for years and years, you'll start to recognize the brands. You've never looked to see who the OE manufacturer was on any of the stock 240 parts you've handled? If you pay truly close attention you can actually see the difference between a quality part and cheap ass shit too. The casting quality and detail is higher, the finish work is better, they just look nicer if you pay attention. Of course, attention to detail isn't really a common theme in the 240sx community.

It is extremely difficult to just know what aftermarket brands you can trust, and which ones are actually the OE part in a different box. Hitachi, Denso, Koyo, Timken, Aisin, etc... are all OE manufacturers that sell the same parts in a different box for less. I used to get Aisin water pumps for Toyotas and you could actually see where the Toyota emblem was ground off the pump. The point is to be more thoughtful, resourceful, and patient when you're purchasing parts. You can get good parts on the cheap, you've just gotta work for it a little. Duralast is not something you should trust in an electrical part, or really any other part for that matter. They're purchased from the lowest bidder and re-boxed for mass re-sale.
