Robster4777 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I am looking into buying a new distributor for my Pathfinder with the 3.3 engine. I really want a genuine Nissan part so I called a dealer to ask about the part as I wanted to make sure it is Genuine NIssan. I was told the part is now manufactured under the Nissan Value Advantage parts. It used to be part #22100-1W601 made by Hitachi. Now the part # is B2100-0W00JNW and supercedes all other part #s. Which means it is made by Nissan but at a cheaper level than from the factory. I liken it to what GM does with AC Delco Gold. So this distributor is not necessarily made by Hitachi anymore. I am hesitant to pay around $350 for a part that isn't like new from the factory. It does still come with a 1 year warranty but that doesn't mean much to me. Do any of you have this part and how has it held up? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This guy wasn't impressed. Sounds like it's the same aftermarket stuff with a bigger markup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Best bet is to rebuild an oem one.

Robster4777 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Thanks. I had rebuilt mine and I may have remedied the issue. Also, can someone explain the "lower shaft bushing" and how to fix if that is worn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
