Default i remember seeing something about this a few mos back. iirc the housings were epoxied.

everything was remanufactured but no welds or bolts, only epoxy - and, surprisingly, they didn't last long before impeller housings came apart.

i have no doubt theyre crap, much like all the other knock-offs coming in from there... just curious what others thought when they saw this...

reminds me of the ssautochrome crap and the stuff from england that ppl are installing...

Default haha, i do!! i just bought an OBX short shifter for my 240sx ... $21 dollars LOL

also about to buy the OBX LSD for the 240sx for $400, and just disassemble/replace the bellville washers/bolts with quality hardware.

it surely is a gamble though, but im sure it will be fine.

there is also an OBX exhaust manifold, but i think ill pass on that one.
