ISIS parts

[smoke240]

Anyone running with ISIS parts.

What part(s)?

Hows the quality?

Hows the fitment?

Thanks

[roboticnissan]

I have a full exhaust header back. Quality looks awesome, fitment is great. Havnt beat on it to see how durable it all is yet tho.

[ditchs14]

whos ready for a flaming roller coaster!!!!????

[vipergtsr1000hp]

got their short shifter. feels good and similiar to B & M.

also got their dual tip catback exhaust. good fitment and sounds nasty.

[JFoxx]

already a thread about this....use the search button people.....

[TheRealSy90]

I have the 3" straight pipe with dual 4" tips. Shit sounds beast.

[qwerth]

I have the 3" straight pipe with dual 4" tips. Shit sounds beast.

how is the ground clearance ?

I'm thinking about picking one up

[chetos13]

I got the oil pan it fit horrible took me two hours to grind down the extra metal and the bolts were a pain to line up and leaks like crazy

[DriftN00b]

A+ quality product, would buy again.

[eek]

You get what you pay for. Isis is like DIF/Circuit Sports etc that basically sell fake China knock off replica products.

[TheRealSy90]

I couldnt tell you the fitment of the exhaust cause I chopped off all the mounts and mounted it up high touching my chassis.

[illvialuver]

it seems like exhaust is not hard to make and to have fit decently, but things that matter are harder to make quality, like manifolds and other parts.
There stuff is not for me unless I get a missile car. So that should pretty much sum up my opinion on their parts.

[Renelovesnike]

I got there header back blast pipes and resonated test pipe wich is all nice and welds look strong ass fuck!! they fit perfect and quality issint getting anny better for that price range! pluss there all tig welded from a robot so says there page ^.^ hehe

stuff like that or steel braided lines id buy from them but i wouldnt trust the bushings on there multi link systems like ruca/tenssion/traction/tow/tie rods ect...

[anti tyler]

Have their suspension package offered on enjuku racing, on one of my other cars.

It hasn't had a single problem yet, 2 years and still going strong.

[JasianBlazin]

id stay away from there coilovers from what i've read.

[nield13]

i bought their tubular bottom mount manifold, looked great but only supports t25 and t28 applications, had to get rid of it because it wouldn't fit my tomei turbo

[thefro526]

I bought their slim fans and shroud. Mounted directly to a mishimoto radiator, no problems. Ended up ditching the shroud because of space constraints...

Isis is pretty much the same as any other China brand but they have a warranty and customer service.

(Interestingly enough, my research found Mishimoto's radiators to be identical to ISIS along with a slew of other manufacturers... Food for thought.)

[EhrikETFG]

toe and rucas

i daily the shit outta my car/drift/burnouts and they've been on a solid year to the month. everythings cool over here so far

[Highway Riding]

I got turbo elbow, downpipe and some other stuff. So far so good going on 2 years. I'd buy more products

[fullthrottle]

I know all the fanboys love Ryan tuerck and he is running every Isis part produced. For 3 years now.

http://www.isisperformance.com/read-news/ryan-tuerck-speaks-about-isis-performance

[melikepaint]

What part(s)? 3'' Straight Pipe with 4'' Dual Tips

Hows the quality? Great!

Hows the fitment? Perfect.

[melikepaint]

how is the ground clearance ?

I'm thinking about picking one up

Im slammed on 15" wheels and I rarely scrape.

[ixfxi]

got their short shifter. feels good and similiar to B & M.

you.......... fucking............. tool

its similar to B&M? its a fucking COPY of the B&M. i've had the B&M on my car since the `90s....... funny to see companies replicate shit, and here we are years later and people are like "duuh its SIMILAR"

COPY

there is a difference between a nice looking weld and a good weld. the problem with products like these, is that there is no way to know what you're purchasing - you're constantly rolling the dice. when i take my car up to a canyon road or am doing 100+ mph, i dont rely on questionable car - i rely on one that is built durable. i dont like knowing that at any given point in time, a fucking part can fail.

whats what these products are, fail products. products that equate low price into questionability and risk. and to you fucking idiots, everything is fine as long as it works. but once it fails, then you're like "damn, i should've spent the extra coin"

brake lines...... why dont you make a post when a brake line fails, you fucking toolbox. then you can tell me how much value you have in that product.

i think i paid under 100 yesterday for goodridge lines w/ reusable aeroquip connectors. gee, lets not go overboard and spend too much money on 4 SS lines... i mean, 100 bucks is REALLY pushing my budget.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiidiots

[Piggy]

I ran the "Freddy" intake manifold for an rb25 after my Greddy got damaged. Needed a tiny bit of adjustment, but nothing I couldn't take care of in few mins. Dyno saw no loss in power and I would run one again if money was an issue.

some one didnt get laid last night......

[USAFs13]

I have all of their suspension arms and I haven't had any problem out of them. Car is daily driven as well. For the most part I haven't seen people having too many problems out of their suspension items, exhaust parts, or their radiator and fan kits. The guys at Enjuku definitely stand behind the product which is great.

[Hoffman5982]

I've held their suspension arms. They're exactly the same as Godspeeds. I did notice that the rod ends didn't move smoothly, even after we lubed them up. They took a great deal of force to move, which I didn't like. After receiving my SPL rods, there is a major difference in quality all around.

Wrong. When they fail, people just buy a new set from the same company with the mindset "surely they've fixed the problem..."

[melikepaint]

i <3 zilvians. lol

[Legoctf]

I run their single can gt exhaust(s13), fits awesome and sounds great.
I also have their coilovers and they are great. Dailying on them as well drifting on.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to pick up coils and does have the money for higher end stuff. Plus the guys at enjuku are awesome and will help you out if you run into a problem.

[NoPistons!]

To be quite honest i'd be comfortable running any of their parts. Even their boost parts. Of course people are gonna talk shit. Fuck em. If you want to walk around like a giant vagina your whole life and run stock shit and save save save go ahead and not buy them...... I bet lots of people have shitloads of fun with their isis parts. SHITLOADS.

[240zach]

so the point of this thread is to run spl parts? lolol

[melikepaint]

opinions are like assholes...

Wow man your taking everything wayy to serious! i have never heard of steel braided lines failing and its obveous ass fuck just by looking on the bite of the welds theres good penetration on the exhaust! Not too cold on the welds at all and not running the welds too hot! Go get laid and stop giving a fuck so often! ull be much happyer.

[ixfxi]

ohhh you kids


so sweet


whats life like when you're hustling to buy cheapass parts. god forbid we save money and purchase some good parts... parish the thought!

[redhatchy92]

how's the fitment on their v2 manifold for a KA-T. i got one and it looks like the first runner is really close to the turbo inlet.

[illvialuver]

too serious.

to serious would imply that ifxi is also named serious.

I just hate the fact that everything they sell is a copy of some other companies product that they had to develop.

[ixfxi]

i just hate the fact that all these products are fucking JUNK


i love however, knowing that 99% of the people on zilvia own this shit. makes me feel so fucking SUPERIOR

[whitenoise]

i bought their tubular bottom mount manifold, looked great but only supports t25 and t28 applications, had to get rid of it because it wouldn't fit my tomei turbo

what tomei turbo r u trying to use and what engine tomei turbo is OEM replacement with t2 flange. how did urs didnt fit ? ka or sr? im about to get a tomei m8270 for my KA-T with the isis V2 manifold. its good to know before i spend the money.

Grow the fuck up. People are going to buy whatever they want, you sounding like a bitch every 30 seconds on Zilvia isn't going to change anyones mind about ISIS, just about how big of a whiny bitch you are.

[omgRWDgoodness!]

Thank you for speaking for pretty much every dumb, clueless, lazy goddamn newb on this forum. If only the rest of them could figure out how to be as straightforward as you...

[memphis180sx]

Theres alot of compairing apples to walnuts in here isis is a good cheap brand ive bought both name brand and isis yes the quality is diffrent but what do u expect. get over it there will always be copys of something im pretty sure theres copys of every thing u buy daily.

[mikenike974]

im running their coilovers on my s13, maxed out on 17's and its plenty low, pignose lip was scrapin on the freeway changin lanes. ride quality is awesome for dailying too, rides very smooth through the streets of downtown but is nice and stiff through drifts. for the price you cant beat it ($779 shipped from enjuku) also you will notice how enjuku doesnt sell any godspeed or other noname bullshit coils, if a site like enjuku backs it then i say go for it, i have no complaints

[xoxide]

I ordered their braided clutch line (didnt think you could really build a shitty braided line), well I was wrong. Hooked it up, went to bleed the clutch and their was a giant leak near the fitting. Ended up buying some brake line from oreilly's instead.

I will never buy an Isis part again. :wan:

Damn right when i was about to pick up an isis front steel braided "looks like ya can fuck up such an easy thing" , looks like im going spl :)

[ILoveJDM]

bought a set of their turbo lines a few years ago, the black ones. didnt realize they werent actually STAINLESS BRAIDED, they were like some black fabric and regular rubber hose under it. found out the hard way when the line was resting slightly near my turbo and it burned through the fabric stuff and ate the hose...started pissing coolant everywhere. i guess thats why ISIS came out with ACTUAL STAINLESS BRAIDED lines now...

after that i wouldnt buy shit for them, cutting corners on something like that just shows me that if theyre willing to cut corners on some turbo lines, i would be scared to even buy anything else.

That's not cutting corners. That's black nylon braided hose, which(opinion) looks better than ss lines and actually costs more. A ss line would also eat through if it was resting against something. It's your fault for not making sure the lines weren't rubbing. Broadfield had all Nylon Braided lines on his SR setup and never had a problem.

[MedHat240sx]

i have a isis exhaust fitment is AWESOME sounds AWESOME but gets a bit of rust on it easy nothing to bad though

im with you! on that on man lol haha

[AsleepAltima]

ive said it before and ill say it again - many of these parts are made by the same fucking manufacturer and labeled as someone elses. plain and simple. they do it with coil springs, radiators, intercooler and believe it or not - suspension parts. do you honestly think that EVERY "manufacturer" can afford to do everything they supposedly say they do?
get real. do some research and youll see what i mean. its the same thing for tools - ever wonder why masterbuilt look like snap on and yet others look like craftsman? same manufacturer, different label.

if it makes you feel better to buy an intercooler that has a stencil on it saying, "mishimoto" or "hks" because its "better" than cxracing, then so be it. but ill bet dollars to donuts that the same manufacturer is making some of your beloved parts and selling them to the next highest bidder.

[Promise Land]

I have their KA radiator, dual cooling fan set-up, and suspension arms. I haven't had any problems with any of the items yet.

[tricky_ab]

So this thread is actually a cheap ass defense force?

Actually, the black braided line (atleast the good quality stuff) is braided carbon fiber, not nylon. Its much stronger, looks cleaner, and doesnt chew through paint and stuff that it rubs against like youve said. We run it on the racecar for those exact purposes. Isis just plain sucks.

And you must be fucking stupid... Yes you are correct in a sense that Megan, Isis, Godspeed, and maybe even some other brands such as stance, etc. All get their coils from the same place. However, if you think HKS parts are made in the same factory as CX Racing, your delusional. The diffrence is HKS, Mishimoto, Etc. Do in house R&D, tuning, and tweaking of their products. Godspeed, CX, Isis just knock off what the good companies are building, they do no R&D, and do not care if it only lasts a few hundred miles.

[stevecorrado88]

I got the oil pan it fit horrible took me two hours to grind down the extra metal and the bolts were a pain to line up and leaks like crazy

It took me 5 min to grind the notch off. If u do your research before u buy the part it tells u that it needs to be done. Not a big deal, I've had the oil Pan on 2 different cars works great.

[ZX88]

turbo lines suck. elbows are make from soda cans

its funny, im playing devils advocate here, but 95% of my shit is "big" name. lol

[ixfxi]

i think the bottom line here is

most people dont know where to draw the line between buying a quality product and a shitty one.


a friend of mine said he bought some knockoff extended wheel studs and that he was driving a while back, he saw his wheel rolling down the street. yeah, go figure... i guess thats a performance benefit... watching your wheel rolling ahead of the car. he quickly reverted back to OE parts.

i dont understand you people. seriously, stupid stupid stupid. ive bought so many performance parts over the past decade. all you have to do is work hard and budget accordingly. i've supported companies like ARP for their studs, ATI for their crank dampers, whiteline for their coilovers.... there are a lot of good companies making good products. if i cant buy it new, i buy it used.

at the end of the day, i dont think you guys would know the difference between a good product vs a bad one if it hit you in the ass-hole. i have basic craftsman pro tools and also snapon. i for one can tell you that some things are worth spending money on, but not all. you have to buy what you need. you have to know what you need.

unfortunately, a lot of you guys dont even know your ass from your elbow

Well, for one, back in 1971 when HKS Started, there were no such thing as knockoff parts like there are today. If you go on half the good companies sites they have pics of them manufacturing their own products. Read a few articles from import, super street, etc on the companies (Mines, HKS, Yashio Factory, etc etc.) and they always have pics of them manufacturing their own parts.

For example here:
EXPREME (http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/000_expreme/expreme_ti_32_33_34-e.html)

There is R&D in the products theyve made... comparisons to stock, etc. Just look at it... You think theyre buying their exhausts from the same place godspeed and megan are?

You think theyre buying their exhausts from the same place godspeed and megan are?heres what you dont get - there are a number of companies that do their own r&d and pay someone else to build it using the specs that they come up with. perfect example of that - coil spring winding machines cost over a mil apiece - do you REALLY think that just anyone can afford a machine like that? of course not. thats why theres only a handful of them around and why big name companies send them their requirements and have them made. companies like edelbrock do all of their own work and for sure, theyre not the only ones. but to naively think that every big name does all the work themselves is just that - naive. everyone farms out their work at some point.

[AsleepAltima]

to add to that - yes, they could be, in essence buying their stuff from the same manufacturers. only difference is, the big names will require better materials. ive seen it firsthand in aerospace. and believe me - theres a shitload more money being thrown around for parts to be made in the aerospace industry. i used to work for boeing and mcdonnel douglas - i can tell you right now that theres more than a few parts with "boeing" stamped on it that boeing did nothing more than supply a blueprint for.

[WERDdabuilder]

i dont understand you people.


you now what i think it is? people wanting to belong. if you've noticed, the "drift" scene has blown up in the last couple years and flooded with these jank companies. add that with the "hellaflush/illest" fad this is what you get. so they'll find the cheapest/quickest route so they can be apart of something, but dont tell them that. :2c:

but in the end its their car.

[FcMURRRDA]

bought a isis turbo mani for my sr... the quality is trash. i regret buying that peace of shit. i also bought there straight dual 3" cat back exhaust and it came out very nice but its loud as fuck. my advice is, DONT BUY CHEAP SHIT.

[cbcm2435]

i bought one of their intake manifolds for my sr, i thought i would atleast try it for a fourth of the cost of a greddy manifold, the quality is absolute shit!, they didnt even try to clean up the casting at all, its going in the dumpster and im buying a greddy, this is the first and last cheap part i will buy

[nield13]

what tomei turbo r u trying to use and what engine tomei turbo is OEM replacement with t2 flange. how did urs didnt fit ? ka or sr? im about to get a tomei m8270 for my KA-T with the isis V2 manifold. its good to know before i spend the money.

I bought the M7960 for the s13 sr, i also had the v2 mani and it looked great fit, fit great but it cause the turbo to hit the mount on the block and there was no chance in bolting it up

Thanks for playing!

[tricky_ab]

So then OP, are you going to buy this crap or not?

[1993fdrx7]

Isis clutch line is trash. Exhaust is good though. Go figure

[Hoffman5982]

Suspicious Garage clutch line is the way to go

[ZX88]

dudes its pretty hard to fuck up an exhaust. So stop using that as a basis that ISIS makes good products. Shit is just rebadged shit from chiner and korea-land.

I bought a few items from ISIS and everything I have bought has either been shit and i replaced it with good actual products. Or has required modification fit properly.

[roboticnissan]

how's the fitment on their v2 manifold for a KA-T. i got one and it looks like the first runner is really close to the turbo inlet.

I just installed my turbo on their v2 mani and fits absolutely fine. Also my friend has it and is slammed with a solid downpipe. For two years still strong. Just pulled it off to check for cracks and nothing.

Sounds like isis may be hit or miss. But enjuku would prolly help out a lot with faulty parts

enjuku are the ones that sent me my shit manifold

[zooopreme]

Cheap people buy cheap shit. They even enjoy the fact that Ken @ Enjuku replaces shitty parts with the same shitty parts if not worse.

Speaking of Enjuki, where'd y'all go? You always come in these threads & say something to bring back the cheap people.

[xoxide]

I called them up and they gave me a refund. I didnt want another shitty line haha.

[Toi]

Wow just wow, these threads tickle me. Guys in Japan are running isis parts with no issues and we have crappy winters. As for knock offs there are an epic ton of them in Japan. Like many others have noted the only way to tell the real deal from a fake would be if the name is stamped into the metal......

So who here has had an actual bad experience with isis suspension components?

thats the reality, but a lot of fanbois refuse to see that.

if by fanboys you mean people that like using quality parts, then you are correct. oh btw here are some pics of the manifold that i refuse to put on my car. there are more things wrong with it, i just didnt feel like taking more pics. i will happily sell it to one of you guys that think knock offs are awesome:D

and yes, i have big name parts on my car as well but i am far from fanboi. ill go with what works, if it works and does what i need it to do.

[omgRWDgoodness!]

Cheap people buy cheap shit. They even enjoy the fact that Ken @ Enjuku replaces shitty parts with the same shitty parts if not worse.

Speaking of Enjuki, where'd y'all go? You always come in these threads & say something to bring back the cheap people.
Probably making another 5% off joke-of-a-coupon that wouldn't even cover the sales tax for my order.

[VinceDude]

I got their front mount intetcooler kit. The fitment is a little strange but i made it ork. I havent ran it yet. Guess we'll find out when i drop my motor in.

[benarovi]

they take for ever to ship stuff. i ordered a waterpump(yes isis, and it still is perfectly fine) ordered 2-3day shipping, came in 7 days and ikept calling them every other day. just my .02 you get what you pay for. i buy legit stuff as well. i have a couple isis parts on my car and they are good.

[ixfxi]

water pump?


how expensive is an OEM pump that you need to stoop to buying aftermarket

[ManoNegra]

$80 vs $35 or so Mike
$45 dollars man...
you can put that towards those sweet $700 coilovers you've dreaming of

[SuperBlackS14]

Thanks to ifxi and ManoNegra and others who talked sense into me, I bought SPL. But I was torn such a new one on here, I wrote to DSport and asked their opinion... Well, the gist of what they said, in deference to all the SIM mags, was: "Buying a quality component is easy, because you can assume that the low volume/high cost manufacturers, put that extra time and money towards engineering and quality."

[KiLLeR2001]

it was $70 and no i needed the extra cash for a event the week after. i dont have $700 coils but thanks anyways

[encludemeout]

ISIS, Godspeed, Megan, Circuit Sports, etc. is all the same shit, made at the same place over in China/Korea.

I wish someone would paint all of those brands the same color, and do a comparison for some of these kids in here. If you're going to buy any of that junk, might as well buy the cheapest one you can. Junk is junk.

[S14Serge]

Lol no love for these brands, but you do get what you pay for. I've learned the hard way myself now I just save up for the real shit or oem other wise i'll end up spending more anyways lol.

[waxball88]

At least 1.5 years on my ISIS arms. No issue.

[SupaDoopa]

Because hard parking doesn't do damage.

[MrSanchez925]

Because hard parking doesn't do damage.

Exactly,
So whats the problem with buying ISIS, megan ect. suspension parts if the car isn't some mad tyte jdm drift race car.

IMO buy what suits your cars needs.

No point in buying 2k coilovers if you car will never or rarely see a track..

[Enjuku Racing]

Because hard parking doesn't do damage.

I have really tried hard in the last year or so to stay out of these silly threads. Enjuku Racing sells every brand of every part out there. However the market demands an inexpensive product that someone is willing to stand behind. For any of you that had an issue with an ISIS product, call the dealer you got it from and i am sure they will take care of you. Its really easy!!! I can promise it is not that easy with some of your big name Japanese brands when it comes to warranties. ( I know i deal with them every day). and news flash: EVERY BRAND HAS WARRANTY ISSUES!!!! In my opinion it comes down to what companies are willing to take care of their customers and how easily.

As for the hard parking comment:

http://external.enjukuracing.com/fdnjwall.jpg

This car ran ISIS arms and ISIS coilovers in Formula D. Went 2 more one more times with Chris Forsberg, hit numerous walls, and no failures. They work, hands down! Are they they most expensive ones out there?... not by a long shot. but they work! (If you want an expensive brand, please call me, I will sell it to you in a heart beat)

12654441

You guys should really give up on these type of threads. They all start and end the same. People will buy what they want to buy.

Come buy it all from me!!! I sell it all !!

If you ever have an issue with Enjuku Racing please call me directly so I can get you taken care of.

sincerely
Ken Harrison

[xoxide]

No point in buying 2k coilovers if you car will never or rarely see a track..
2k coilovers (or anything over a grand pretty much) ride a whole lot better than isis, godspeed, ebay, etc. coilovers. Even if your hard parking wouldnt you rather have a good ride instead of a stiff bumpy ride with blown shocks after two months of driving?

Who here prefers Sam's Choice cola over Coca-cola or Pepsi?

I used to HATE going to my friend house when I was a lot younger because his mom would stock the fridge with that cheap stuff that tasted terrible.

Whenever my friend would complain, she always said, that "it all tastes the same"...

I always told him that she didn't have any taste buds...

[whyteboi]

I run ISIS arm package on my car and haven't had any problems. Just had a drift event yesterday, went off track and ate the inside of an apex and had no problems, no damages.

If you want adjustable arms and don't have/want to spend money on expensive brands, go to Enjuku and get them if not, buy something else.

[KiLLeR2001]

Exactly. This is why I think people who say "its all the same" are the same type of people who think ISIS/MEGAN/GODSPEED are the same as quality brands.

Nike shoes or Walmart brand? hahahaha

[zooopreme]

For any of you that had an issue with an ISIS product, call the dealer you got it from and i am sure they will take care of you. Its really easy!!!

As nice as this service is, if ISIS/Enjuku doesn't want bash/flame threads like this, y'all should start using BETTER quality parts than you already are utilizing.

More often times than not, I've seen my friends/acquaintances buy ISIS arms and have a defect or just look like little craftsmanship went it compared to big name brand stuff. The reason why they decide not call is because although the service is nice, you'd be surprised what kind of shit gets sent back to you. With that said, they take it upon themselves to fix the shitty welds and replace the bearings with better quality bearings.

People argue that quality is the best way to go because those companies send out products that take time/work/quality to make. More than anything the price reflects the kind of parts/work that go into it.

But like Ken said, it all boils down to people buying what they want to buy.

However, that doesn't mean you aren't going to get shit from people using reputable parts.

[waxball88]

And that works both ways right? If someone with cheaper parts beats you they can give you shit about having accomplished more with less?
O wait
Its zilvelite

stratin shit lol i love these threads

[riptor]

ive had the same megan exhaust system and coilovers installed since 2006. I heard there is a difference in megan then and megan now, however i must say its a hit or miss, i mean every company has a batch of parts that was made on friday or monday. a good friend of mine has been throught 3 2871's. went to a no name brand 20g, 360 rwhp later, he hasnt looked back since. I think its alwasy gonna be luck of the draw. some times you win, and well some times you get:rl: pwnd!

ken, posting in this thread is simply digging yourself into a ditch... and a complete waste of time. a low buck product requires nothing other than being cheap(er) than the competition, thats it.

odd thing is, i own plenty of expensive car parts and i dont ever recall having to send them in for any type of warranty service or replacement.

[AsleepAltima]

exactly, and they fit without having to modify them.

[eek]

Main point is if all the noobs and bandwagon junkies want to rock cheaper parts let them. I stop caring and trying to advise the kids cause its just a waste of time. They never learn until its too late when they are so far in the hole paying for repairs from cheap China knock-offs.

Food for thought, while all you people complain about prices for QUALITY parts and then go around and get mad that there are no more good companies offering QUALITY parts let alone supporting that platform, you guys buy the CHEAP China knock off stuff. Then you say its cheaper, it works so why buy the good stuff? If it wasn't for the BIG NAME brand companies developing (spending $$ on R&D) NEW and QUALITY parts what are you left with? Answer... ALL YOU GET IS POORLY made sub-quality parts. Most people won't care since its just the KOOL thing to do right now to impress their friends. Why is it the ENTIRE Honda community sucks? Its all those cheap ass cry babies that destroyed their own scene by supporting all that junk.

[onehundredoctane]

Needed a quick fix for my rear alignment, couldn't justfity paying $200 per pair for SPL arms, my car has 200k+ miles on it, is driven a few times a week, nabbed some Isis rear arms to fix the mad toe in and camber and called it a day, they've been on the car over two years and haven't had the first problem out of them yet.

[ixfxi]

^ you dont need to justify anything when you buy parts. you buy parts that you seem fit for the job.

if you cant justify 200, then why justify 150 or 100 when the stock arms work fine. grab a file and simply slot them out, done and done.


you guys like to spend money without thinking. if you want to be cheap, you can do that by slotting arms and cutting coils, etc. free is free.


eventually, people either learn their lessons or they continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. this is not a cheap sport. something simple like a suspension piece can be the difference between an accident and your car rolled over in a ditch. i wonder how people feel about 100 bucks saved at that point.

I'm simply giving a review of their product, nothing more, the fact that you come in here JUST TO SLAM people for buying a product from a Zilvia vendor is laughable, keep on trolling forums and thinking you're an interweb God, it seems to suit you well. I scroll past just about every post I see you make if that tells you anything, when you call someone out, you're looking for a response to start some shit, we know it.

Anyway, I bought the shit, it works, Ken and crew are always quick to send out orders when I've placed them, I hate posting just as a reply so I'll add that most recently I ordered my extended wheel studs from them and they came the next day via ground shipping! Enjuku is 3 states away from me so that tells you they're on their A game with shipping when an order is placed.

If you want to argue like a 5 year old then go hang out at the playground kid. But the fact that you and I joined the same year yet your post count is 4,000+ goes to show that you're a troll w/o a life!

You SAY you're 30 years old, so start acting like it. Take your troll ass shit somewhere else.

[daftphunk]

I'm trying to sell my car at a price that I believe is decent for what is on the car, high quality parts. But I always forgot that the people in this scene are cheap and could care less about quality parts.

Im close to taking off all the nice shit and throwing on all isis stuff, knocking it down a thousand or so bucks and calling it good after I make my money back + some by selling the better stuff.

Problem is that people don't care about quality anymore.

[TheRealSy90]

Kid Zelda didn't care about quality either, haha that was crazy reading those old threads just now.

[LockOn!]

I just wish people would own up to it and admit that they are running dog shit parts instead of trying to justify them as being just as good as quality components.

I have some ISIS stuff, its noticably lower quality. I'll be the first to admit it. I also have SPL and other various quality parts, its far better. Case closed.

I'm not made of money but at least I will admit I needed to cut a corner to get my car aligned instead of trying position ISIS as quality.

Also the only thing good about ISIS through Enjuku is Enjuku themselves, love those guys. Just because they are better at replacing your crappy ISIS stuff doesn't mean ISIS is good lol. Enjuku, you're rad, thanks for never screwing my orders.

[AsleepAltima]

+1

enjuku sells more than just isis parts. so dogging enjuku in place of isis isn't really fair towards them.
all enjuku does is sell thier(isis') parts, and if a part does fail, enjuku helps the issue not isis themselves.
no matter how much lower of a quality part isis is, enjuku is still in my eyes a reputable company.

You do realize Enjuku = Isis
Just like Phase2 = Circuit Sports
and Version Select = Stance = Touge Factory
Do people really don't know these things?

And is worth reiterating: Replacing a shit product that failed with piece from the same shit bin promptly and with no questions asked ISN'T costumer service.
Recalling all parts from the same batch/shipment, analyzing the failure and taking steps - manufacturing, material, process, quality control changes - to prevent future failures IS.

What these companies do is simple exploitation and profiteering of an ignorant, immature, broke and image conscious community.

or I'm simply another fucking hater like the douche above me.

[GL Chrillz]

I have ISIS toe arms on my s13 and ISIS radiator and radiator hoses (they came on the car when i bought it) i wouldn't hesitate to buy an ISIS product, i've daily driven the car for a year on michigan roads and never had a problem with either. I've done alignments on my car and never had a problem getting the toe aligned and keeping it there. just my 2 cents

[onefst240]

well i have the isis intercooler,radiator setup and the isis t25/t28 upgrade. The turbo i recently installed and has about 1500miles on it. Runs and pulls better than the stock t25. The intercooler and rad have been installed since the car was on the road about 2 years ago. No problems with Isis at all.

[P_Smurf180]

Im currently running the ISIS radiator and T25/28 stock replacement turbo. No problems with the radiator. As for the turbo, doesn't line up with stock outlet pipe very well, the quality seems fair for the price, pulls pretty decent, been driving on it for about 6 months now. At the end of the day I would recommend ISIS if you are looking to build on a budget with decent results. Also ISIS has warranties on their parts. My first ISIS turbo blew the seals for unknown reasons and Enjuku sent me another one free of charge with a quickness.

[burgessn]

I have been running isis rear arms with dw knuckles for 2 years competitivly now and they are awsome not a single problem! money well spent!!
So what happens when all of you clowns that are bashing isis spend double the money on other brands and they fail!!! what then i ran Driftworks arms in the uk and their bearings failed after a few years!! And at the end of the day the amount of money you spend and the name on the side of your parts dont mean shit!!! it matters if they work!! But you guys keep blowing all your money on expensive shit and ill run circles around with my isis arms!!!

[xoxide]

Im really curious to see what said car looks like... Videos of you running "circles around everyone"?

[burgessn]

I run Holset turbo to so im prob like a super fanboy, wannabe, or something huh!! Fucking tards!!!

[xoxide]

If your going to try to be the voice of reason, atleast take the time to come up with something more whitty than what has been said a million times in this thread. :facepalm:

[illvialuver]

You get what you pay for. Isis is like DIF/Circuit Sports etc that basically sell fake China knock off replica products.

DIF is made in America( even says on their packaging, dealers will state the same when you call them), I will gladly use any thing they make over anything china makes. its all about quality control. I think the corner cutters are trying to run ifxi out of here like he is Frankenstein himself.

I wonder if a dealer will tell you isis/megan or circuit sport are made in America?

The comparison to condoms and soda was spot on. Dr. Shasta is in no way or form a similar flavor to DR. PEPPER

I love it too! It's like you have your own little minions, that when they aren't sucking your dick and come up for air, somehow find time to come in here and waste everyones time by chiming in like little girls.

See, even I'm giving into your childishness now and going toe to toe with you, and oh my fucking god, we fucking get it, you're internet royalty and all of us are lucky that you're even taking the time to talk shit to us. We're not worthy, we're not worthy!

Mother of GOD I hope I have better things to do when I'm 30 than hide behind a computer screen and talk shit to people. We can't help you were picked on throughout high school, lost your virginity in a Waffle House bathroom stall to a guy name Hank when you were 25 against your will and to this day shit yourself at the thought of seeing a woman naked in person.

Here's what I want you to do, go to the worst part of town you know of, walk up to the first burly motherfucker you see standing on a corner and start talking the kinda shit to his face that you try to on spit on this forum. Then wait for what you have coming to you. But before you do that, I want you to hand that guy my phone number so I can hear it all unfold, then mail him a check for doing the world a favor.

Here's how I see it:

This thread and other threads like it are for people to give a review of a company, their customer service, and goods.

Didn't buy any Isis parts? Then fuck off.

[mikenike974]

First of all who the fuck cares what kind or brand of soda people like to drink, and congratz clearly your the biggest baller on here cause you had REAL fucking nikes back when you were knee high on a grasshopper. No body is try to say ISIS is BETTER than hks, greddy, and so on, I havent heard one person on here say "...yea i have an isis turbo and its better than your garrett.." or "hey i bet my isis coils would blow your Apexi N1's away" Obviously your not going to go to jack in the box for their tacos when you could go to taco time, ISIS makes a variety of products, at the end of the day a coilover is a coilover is a coilover, its all adjustable, its all painted pretty colors and makes you feel all warm inside when you open that box for the first time, IF I DECIDE TO SPEND MY MONEY ON SOMETHING THATS MY FUCKING CHOICE. im not sitting here saying "all you people who spent $2000 on coils are idiots for spending so much money" no! all the more power to you that you have the desire and FUNDS to pay for them. back to the taco thing what i mean by that is clearly there are some things that you want to spend the time and money to buy better things, suspension components sure go for it, exhausts absolutely, hoses and lines forsure. Now nobody is going to advise to get fucking wheelstuds and manifolds for $600 less than the product its replicating and just slap it on. Just because your the dumbass who paid less for something and tried to bolt it on doesnt mean a whole company is "shit" now say you bought a turbo mani from isis for $300 bucks or whatever, touched up and strengthen the welds and re port everything and still end up a perfectly good manifold for a fraction of the cost of a fullrace or doc then good for you! all you douchers who have a problem with it take it up with the chief of police.

not trying to call specifics out but
1) whoever was the one who said that isis and cheaper stuff is stiff and bumpy and an overall crappy ride your and idiot, who the fuck puts coils on their car as something to enhance the ride, its to stiffen it up and lower it while being able to adjust it with the twist of a knob and the loosening of a bolt, the only arguable issue would be that its not stiff enough for the TRACK (coils = track use recommended) my isis coils ride much smoother for daily use than a higher quality coil (not saying they are better for all you dicks who will try and call me out for "contradicting myself) to go both ways, a higher quality coil would be more ideal for when im on the track IT ALL GOES BOTH WAYS

2) the retard who hates ISIS product because his exhaust from them was too loud, LOOK AT THE PICTURE BEFORE YOU BUY IT, NO SHIT A FULL STRAIGHT PIPE IS GOING TO MAKE SOME NOISE

3) all of you saying that people are dumb for buying isis parts and that they will find out the "hard way" by having to replace them with higher quality parts when the cheaper ones blow up in 2 months (cause that apparently happens all the time with cheap parts -_-) you have to remember your replacing OEM NISSAN PARTS the majority of the time which some people argue is better than everything, the beauty of aftermarket support is you can go any way with it, shit will blow up either way, who cares if its a $200 part replaced ever 5 years, as opposed to a $1200 part thats never replaced, do the math, you spend $200 every 5 years thats 30 years assuming you still even own the car!

the wrap my glorious rant all up, i get both sides, my car is a perfect example, im running isis coils, xxr wheels, and a near perfect rep of a bride seat. at the same time i have a $3000 s15 front end with all REAL bn sports aero, and under the hood is a built sr with a $6000 turbo set up of only the highest quality parts and set up, a $1200 os clutch and fly wheel, with a power fc as a brain for it all. but guess what it bolts up to my $100 ebay exhaust which i spent money to have custom tucked and rotated with a 3 in stainless gold pipe coming out the ass of my car which sounds lovely. its my choice so dont tell me otherwise, im aware that there are more expensive routes. nobody asked to start a debate thread.

to every man his own, nobody is faulting you for spending more money on something, if anything people are envious that you can afford to drop more bills on something, dont fault people for trying to enjoy the scene because in the end everybody will end up replacing their products no matter what the cost is, and i dare all of the people running a top of the line coil to try running an isis coil when yours inevitably blow years from now, you might be surprised just as i will when i upgrade mine someday

quit ruining zilvia with this shit

[ma.jomaa]

First of all who the fuck cares what kind or brand of soda people like to drink, and congratz clearly your the biggest baller on here cause you had REAL fucking nikes back when you were knee high on a grasshopper. No body is try to say ISIS is BETTER than hks, greddy, and so on, I havent heard one person on here say "...yea i have an isis turbo and its better than your garrett.." or "hey i bet my isis coils would blow your Apexi N1's away" Obviously your not going to go to jack in the box for their tacos when you could go to taco time, ISIS makes a variety of products, at the end of the day a coilover is a coilover is a coilover, its all adjustable, its all painted pretty colors and makes you feel all warm inside when you open that box for the first time, IF I DECIDE TO SPEND MY MONEY ON SOMETHING THATS MY FUCKING CHOICE. im not sitting here saying "all you people who spent $2000 on coils are idiots for spending so much money" no! all the more power to you that you have the desire and FUNDS to pay for them. back to the taco thing what i mean by that is clearly there are some things that you want to spend the time and money to buy better things, suspension components sure go for it, exhausts absolutely, hoses and lines forsure. Now nobody is going to advise to get fucking wheelstuds and manifolds for $600 less than the product its replicating and just slap it on. Just because your the dumbass who paid less for something and tried to bolt it on doesnt mean a whole company is "shit" now say you bought a turbo mani from isis for $300 bucks or whatever, touched up and strengthen the welds and re port everything and still end up a perfectly good manifold for a fraction of the cost of a fullrace or doc then good for you! all you douchers who have a problem with it take it up with the chief of police.

not trying to call specifics out but
1) whoever was the one who said that isis and cheaper stuff is stiff and bumpy and an overall crappy ride your and idiot, who the fuck puts coils on their car as something to enhance the ride, its to stiffen it up and lower it while being able to adjust it with the twist of a knob and the loosening of a bolt, the only arguable issue would be that its not stiff enough for the TRACK (coils = track use recommended) my isis coils ride much smoother for daily use than a higher quality coil (not saying they are better for all you dicks who will try and call me out for "contradicting myself) to go both ways, a higher quality coil would be more ideal for when im on the track IT ALL GOES BOTH WAYS

2) the retard who hates ISIS product because his exhaust from them was too loud, LOOK AT THE PICTURE BEFORE YOU BUY IT, NO SHIT A FULL STRAIGHT PIPE IS GOING TO MAKE SOME NOISE

You clearly do not know your ass from a hole in the ground. I put coils on my car to enchance the ride... Enchance is pretty open to interpretation, with that being said I enchanced the responsiveness and ride quality of my 240. I was running on blown KYB's, so I did enchance the ride.

Clearly, you are a fanboy... Ballin' on a budget, which is cool with me... Just dont try and act like you know what you are talking about, when clearly you dont. Not everybody buys coilovers to lower their rideheight... imagine that. Do you even know what you are adjusting and how it will affect the car when you are twisting knobs and loosening bolts?

What high quality coilovers have you driven on, let alone rode in to have the knowledge to say your Isis coilovers ride much better than high quality ones? This is where I stopped reading your post because to say Isis will ride better than high quality (not sure what you mean by that but I will assume you mean KW, Moton, Penske, Ohlins, etc.).

Running high quality coilovers will enchance the quality of your ride on the street and track versus running Isis. They have better valving, and better quality springs, simple as that.

Please, just stop talking before you make yourself look any more like a jackass. :snoop:

you are such a fucking TOOL

[dizzariot]

I love this forum. My S13 came with an ISIS FMIC and ISIS Intake Kit. No problems, but they won't be on the car long enough to find out what degree of quality they are.

There's a fine line between:

A.) Buying parts that are 'name brand' because they're popular and Import Tuner has their names stamped all over the cover...and/or because you used it on your S0oP3R SiKK KAr on NeEd FoR SpEeD UnDeRgRoUnd.

...and...

B.) Buying 'name brand' parts because they've been in the game long enough to earn some sort of reputation as QUALITY parts. The majority doesn't lie, and in this economy the majority of us are broke lol. Still, I'd bet the majority is running higher-end shit, just less vocal about it. Moral: SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

I can guaran-fucking-tee you that my Stance LX+ coilovers ride much smoother and are more comfortable on the street than your shitty mcshit-shit ISIS coilovers. I can also guarantee you that they would perform much better on the track as well.

Honestly I doubt you could tell the difference in both situations. And I have pbm.

[LockOn!]

Honestly I doubt you could tell the difference in both situations.

Have you had anything else? I've had Megan, Ksport, Tien, Stance and PBM.

Megan was dog crap. Tien, very meh. Ksport was surprisingly super comfy (on an accord and non-dampening adjustable model) Stance and PBM were firm but supportive, kinda like a nice bed lol.

The difference between coilovers is definitely noticeable. At least the difference between quality levels is.

Example, i bundle

Megan/Isis/Ksport/Generic Ebay etc (fanboi nub tier)
Stance/PBM/Fortune (entry tier)
and then you have all the super baller race spec crap like Ohlins.

Arguing between brands within nub or entry tier is just retarded.

Just most people on this board have only had one thing and think it is the best, even if its ISIS lol.

Yo, lets take it down a notch here.

I think the OP probably has plenty of answers.

[ma.jomaa]

It all boils down to buying what ever you feel comfortable with, If you feel that there is no point in spending $2000+ on coilovers then by all means don't, nobody is twisting your arm to do it, and if you feel that ISIS or similar brands are shit, then simply don't buy it and stick with what you like, there is no right or wrong in this. People will always have different opinions about everything. Respect other people choices and be a little more civil (but then again this is Zilvia), Simply put To Each His Own.

where did you get any of that from, i dont understand how you can be so fucking "thorough" with every other aspect of your life except for reading. i believe i started out my post saying "nobody is saying that isis is better than a higher quality coilover" i just admitted that isis isnt a high quality product dipshit. apparently i didnt make it clear before so i will now just so everybody is on the same page (assuming your still reading at this point since apparently you know the entire outcome of a book by reading the first chapter...) ISIS ISNT IDEAL BUT IT WORKS, if you disagree then send isis i fucking letter about it and tell them about how you feel. im not the "fanboy" nor did i say im "ballin on a budget" sure im on a budget but when did i ever say im ballin or doin some crazy street shit that deserves props from some douche bag on zilvia. im out on the track all the time and ive ridden in cars with every brand of coilover you can think of, no fucking shit they are going to be better on track use than isis, i also have tracked my car on isis coils and guess what... i had no issues and oooo im really gonna blow your mind now, they still work :bite: shocking i know! just again since clearly the big ballers on zilvia who when they see a chunk of writing this big get all dizzy like and cant figure out what to do so they stop reading my post, hopefully the bigger writing will catch your eye here while i repeat myself: ISIS ISNT IDEAL BUT IT WORKS.
How the fuck is enhance an open interpretation, look it up in a fucking dictionary you stupid fuck, go find the bumpiest road you can find and then drive as fast as you can down it on your down right holy coilovers that are absolutely better than everybody's and tell me that ride is CLEEEEAARRLLY enhanced from stock shit or softer shit for that matter, you have fun with that bro. also in response to this: " Not everybody buys coilovers to lower their rideheight... imagine that. " i thought a lower center of gravity improves handling among many other things but i wouldnt know because "Just dont try and act like you know what you are talking about, when clearly you dont."
GOOD FOR YOU that your coils have better valving and quality springs. ID LOVE TO TRADE YOU COILS, nobody is arguing that you should buy isis over whatever coils you have but im sure ive already lost you by this point so i guess youll never hear that and quote me for some shit i said about you in the beginning right...doucher. how did somebody like you even come to be, and dont you have something better to do with your "amazing" life like go and enjoy your beautiful coilovers, theres an idea GO DRIVE IT instead of telling other people how the stuff they have doesnt compare.

the funniest response of this whole thing is this lololololololol :

this dude has spent close to $4000 on different coilovers! hahahahaha this is the reason why people buy isis coils first so that they can put the remaining $3200 into something else hahahah

to all you people that have something to say about how bad everybody elses shit is :gives: we all know you have the biggest dick on the internet, yaaaaay for you

[SnakeKack]

All I know is when I'm in Wal-Mart tempted to buy Great Value corn flakes because it looks like it comes with the same stuff as Kellogs brand plus more for less money, I don't give in because I imagine myself eating them and wishing I bought the name brand.

The same shit goes for anything though. I understand the concept behind cheaper products and I think in certain situations it's ok to cheap out like if you had to fix a leaking coolant hose in a gas station and all they had was 7-11 brand coolant to fill it up with to get you by until it can be done the right way. Or when traveling if I had something fail on a car and only thing available was a Duralast replacement part.

And I do agree that when it comes to certain parts you don't HAVE to buy the MOST EXPENSIVE option to get quality. But just do your research first. But just because you find one inexpensive part that has proven good quality doesn't mean all inexpensive parts will be the same. Everyone just SLOW DOWN and RESEARCH, and think about your own piece of mind.

If people research and see that %50 say ISIS/Megan/Godspeed is good and the other %50 says those companies are shit. Then why not go with the %90 that says Greddy/HKS/Tomei/etc work? If it's a part that you DON'T NEED right away to get a car drivable if you depend on it, just take your time and save up for the quality part. Every single time I cheaped out without researching first it always felt like a waste of money afterwards, and I never had the piece of mind.

I think besides all the angry comments and trash talking, all ixfxi and others commenting about this thread are trying to say is why spend less on certain parts on their car that are vital to function, safety, handling, and reliability? Is buying a part because it's half the cost worth possibly leaving you stranded? Or causing an accident out of failure? Or going through the head ache of replacing and time spent every time that part breaks? I know don't want to take those risks.

Wow you're retarded.

I prefer to buy my own stuff and try it out, so I don't need to rely on the opinions of idiots like you on the internet. Those coils have been on a varity of different s13s over the last 6 or so years, the Ksports were on an accord I had for a daily.

Sorry I actually make some money and can afford to try things out. Also, It's not like I use these coils and just throw them away like an old pair of shoes. I resell them for decent money because I actually work on maintaining the nice things I own.

Just go away already. Please. Seriously.


the difference is pretty slim besides adjustability.

This is true. The big difference is the support for Stance and PBM and accessability of spare componets. Thats mostly what draws me to those brands.

[Zilviasr20]

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.

[ixfxi]

^ 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]

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

[jlmillionaire]

I got the oil pan it fit horrible took me two hours to grind down the extra metal and the bolts were a pain to line up and leaks like crazy
yes I have a similar problem 1 of the bolts to line up properly and I just told her our tv reading and she doesn't leak little but overalls decent quality

[zooopreme]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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.

^^^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]

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]

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]

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

[fliprayzin240sx]

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

[xoxide]

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

[240drifter1]

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

[bigs]

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]

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]

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. :picardfp:

Most likely you'd set the car to AWESOME.

[StepN2Boost]

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.
