Zilviasr20 · 08-08-2012, 10:22 PM

just for the sake of some feed back. I havent tried many isis products but I bought an isis clutch line and it leaked from the slave end. Then I returned that one for another one and it still leaked. Will be staying away from isis products from now on.

08-09-2012, 09:53 AM

^ dont you love how companies that sell these types of products will continually replace the product, no questions asked? i love that.

its like the lifetime warranty for an alternator at autozone. i always say that you can spend a lifetime replacing the part, it still doesnt work a damn.

"need another leaky clutch line, we're shipping it out TODAY.......... with another leaky clutch line"

AHH RAD!

AsleepAltima · 08-09-2012, 10:18 AM

id rather get 10 free alternators from auto zone than 1 from the dealer for 3x's the cost and it goes bad.

Wow.

You have a better chance of getting your money's worth by going with the big brand stuff than going with cheap brands.

But no, because your broke ass can't justify going with the far superior product, you'd rather go with the 10 free ones & go through the trouble of continuously replacing it than having to deal with it once.

And in that one time instance, you would get rid of the any sound by lubricating the bearing. Crisis averted. Whereas the small brand bullshit, you'd have to worry about the arms snapping, bearings going bad beyond lubrication, or welds looking like stacked dog shit.

No part will last forever but why not invest in something that will only give you trouble once at most. Bad bearing? SPL AND PBM will replace it. Sub-par suspension arm with cheap bearings? Enjuku & other ISIS dealers will replace with the same sub-par arms.

Does that not sound fucking idiotic to you?

im pretty far from broke and im not paying dealer prices for my 240. just aint happening. when my evo needs work - it goes to the dealer and IT gets dealer parts. why the fuck would i spend that kind of money on peripherals for a 20+ yr old car? THAT makes no sense. now, as far as suspension and engine parts go - i buy what i need. i didnt look at cost at any time when i built my sr. i went with a cheaper intercooler because, its a fucking intercooler. lol
you cant talk this bullshit to me, ive been messing with cars for far too long. i buy what i need depending on if i deem it worth it or not. im not buying brand new dealer shit for my 240 - ever.

Um wait so why are you posting in this thread in the first place? You supported nothing of what you said in your initial post. As a matter of fact, you've actually proven my point correctly.

Aftermarket suspension parts are to improve the car's abilities, no matter how old the car. That's the sole basis of why people don't stick with OEM parts.

Why would anybody spend that kind of money on a 20+ year old car? Because it is 20+ years old. Have you seen how shitty 240's perform stock with those 20+ year old parts?

You would think with all the "tinkering" that you've done that you would know the difference between shitty parts & parts that actually enhance a car's abilities.

xtopgun32x · 08-09-2012, 10:59 AM

had the megan racing exhaust mani for the sr, broke. replaced it with the ISIS...broke in 2 days. got the tomei expreme over a year ago and its still goin strong. got the ISIS "stainless" 3" straight pipes. Rusted the first time it rained. not so "stainless." i dont get ISIS parts anymore. dumb on my part. dont be like me.

im sorry, i must have missed the memo that i need zoopremes permission to post in a thread. and i perfectly supported what i said - i will not buy things like starters, alternators, injectors - peripherals - from a dealer for a 20+ yr old car. suspension i wouldnt buy from a dealer either. you can get those parts from auto zone as well. will i buy them from there? probably not because i want more adjustability. i was comparing dealer warranty to parts store warranty - not like youre suggesting i said. if i was so worried about "oem" id still be rocking the ka - wouldnt i? you make no sense. read what is written, not what youd like it to say.

I'm speaking in terms of warranty as well. Just because I mention different parts, there's virtually no difference in terms of warranty policy. Do performance & quality not fall into the warranty?

Are you even aware of the warranty policy of the bigger brand companies? You seem to be biased with shitty parts that you forgot to look into that. PBM offers a few years for FREE replacement bearings. But if you've been maintaining those said parts, I don't see why you'd have to get them replaced. They are guaranteed to last longer as opposed to free replacement with inferior parts.

Now back to my post, why would you buy inferior parts that don't offer the satisfaction of non-slip alignment, quality materials, & adjustability that surpasses other inferior junk like ISIS?

iRideFBMSR20det · 08-09-2012, 01:24 PM

My ISIS inter-cooler is GREAT!
Fitment was spot on
inlet and outlet were the proper size
And the boys at Enjuku are nice and easy to talk to.
Vary fast shipping.

SuperBlackS14 · 08-09-2012, 01:34 PM

Okay, AsleepAltima, I'm not quite following you here. Your responses seem disjointed and Zoopreme is trying to make sense and respond every time you say something else that doesn't fit with what you said before...

And I agree with Zoopreme. Buy quality the first time and replace it once while you own the car or risk the replacements of lower quality parts and more down time.

illvialuver · 08-09-2012, 02:01 PM

I wont trust important shit to crap quality companies.

Time = $$$$$$$$$ so if I pay 1/3 the cost of an item but replace it more than 3 times, its not worth it when the one at 3/3 cost will most likely not brake down, and they have limited warranties.

I will not buy crappy injectors. I know 150 for one stock Nissan injector may seem pricey when you can get one at auto zone for 40$, but think about it, that oem Bosch Nissan one lasted 180k, I don't think a knock off 40$ p.o.s will last that long.

Posting in this thread is a complete waste of my time, and as you have just learned, is the equivalent of money to me. I just felt like being charitable, with some helpful knowledge. Sometime you have to think about things in the bigger picture, not just the now.

Best example I have ever heard is from a friend who is a Nissan Master Mechanic, and owns his own shop now, had a customer with a pretty well built z32, but was having issues with it running.
Upon asking the guy what has happened since it ran, he said everything is new, and replace. So the mechanic does a test of the vacuum system, and even checked the whole wire harness,then he tell the customer, seems like your not getting fuel, but everything checks out fine, what injectors do you have again?
Of all the name brand and quality parts the guy had, he bought all his injectors from Autozone. Because he wanted to save a couple hundred bucks. Checks the injectors, and guess what? 4 of the 6 brand new injectors with less than 100 miles on them had already failed. The one thing he cheeped out on him came back and fucked him. Just think about that as a lesson that could be expensive if it happened to you, MORE expensive than buying the good stuff from the start.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-09-2012, 02:52 PM

^^^Ultimately, it still comes down to this...if its something that wont kill your or blow your engine up, why the fuck not? I'd rock ISIS shit for stuff that will blow my engine without me knowing. I've run their radiator, turbo/oil lines and shifter so far. I can monitor the radiator and would know if its not working by monitoring my temp gauges. Turbo lines, if I dont see a leak, no fuck given. Shifter, i havent shifted and the top part came off the lower piece yet, so again no fuck given.

I might try to run the blast pipes later down the road just cuz my Apexi GT SPEC resonator/pre muffler is beat the fuck up. Its cheap and will give me more ground clearance than my Apexi exhaust. If the hangers break off, who cares. Get it rewelded up. My damn Blitz NUR Spec exhaust did the same thing on first S14, you dont see me bitching about its quality.

heres my thing - i dont have a problem buying off the auto zone shelf stuff like alternators and starters. hell, ive even bought a distributor for my altima from them. for the stuff i need to last and be quality though - i buy aftermarket. like known stuff. not crap. like my injectors - i had msd injectors on my ka-t and rc on my sr. i have an aeromotive fuel rail and fpr as well instead of some "isis style" aftermarket one. i buy quality where i see fit but i dont see a problem with buying things like alt's and starters from a rebuilder. i wont buy my suspension stuff from an auto zone type place though because i want adjustability - the same reason i wont buy oem from the dealer. i do buy dealer ANYTHING for my evo though because its a brand new 40k dollar car. but i refuse to buy, unless its interior trim pieces, stuff from the dealer for my 20+ year old car. you get what im saying?

SuperBlackS14 · 08-10-2012, 07:37 PM

I follow you now. Buy quality from the aftermarket, but replacement ancillaries are okay because dealerships rape you for price on them. I agree to an extent, but I prefer peace of mind at some point more than a warranty... That's just my preferences tho.

teh smithers · 08-10-2012, 07:57 PM

I run the ISIS suspension arm kit and blast pipes (4" tips) on my S14. The arms work. The exhaust fits well. I'm still alive. No problems here.

TheRealSy90 · 08-10-2012, 09:36 PM

I have the ISIS blast pipes and it's been through rain multiple times, not a spec of rust.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-11-2012, 02:15 PM

For you guys running the blast pipes...how freaking loud is it?

xoxide · 08-11-2012, 02:38 PM

Bigs had the 3" pipes and said it was really loud unless you were under 2500rpm.

240drifter1 · 08-11-2012, 02:56 PM

Ive had there blastpipes on my s14. Stpid loud on NA cars. I love it.

bigs · 08-11-2012, 03:02 PM

Idle sounds awesome, cruising sounds awesome, anything over 3000-3500 is deafening. Mine was on a stock ka though, so that explains that.

Caravanned to import alliance a while back with it (Interstate cruising at 75-80) and my friend said he couldn't follow behind me because it annoyed the shit out of him hahaha. Got a ticket for it later and sold it. I thought my car was a hybrid when I put the stock exhaust back on.

TheRealSy90 · 08-11-2012, 03:25 PM

Me and a friend have the 4" tips on our sr's. We both love how it sounds. His has stock cams and full interior and just cruising around at low rpm it isn't too loud inside the car. Mine is cammed and gutted and is loud as fuck and awesome at all times.

FcMURRRDA · 08-13-2012, 01:58 PM

i got 3" pipes with isis exhaust mani and isis test pipe on my sr and its pretty fucken loud. i love it. i did a couple 2nd gear pulls around my neighborhood and parked it, 3min later cops are all over the fucken place.

So that means for me, RB25 with external wastegate...I'd probably set my car on fire with a blast pipe on.

Most likely you'd set the car to AWESOME.

StepN2Boost · 08-13-2012, 03:58 PM

I have isis radiator w/e-fans, replacement starter, and shortshifter, with no problems. On the other hand I can't say that I would recommend the Fpr, replaced it with an authentic Aeromotive Fpr and no more fuel drops. Hit or miss I guess, however I will most likely not buy any other isis parts solely on the basis that I just can't roll the dice on a car that I have put so much time and effort into.
