When I had a 98' Maxima and the alternator went out, I bought a remanufactured Hitachi on eBay and that one worked just fine for many years.
10/10 the hitachi coils are genuine and have been solid on mine for 30,000mi.
Bought my Hitachi's from Rock Auto, don't remember the part number but I bought OEM replacements. 30k later and I'm still trucking.
Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE
I ended up buying that evening a new Hitachi (original manufacture for VW) HPFP ($300) from Rockauto because they were significantly cheaper all the other suppliers. Then as I dove deeper I started looking for just the fuel pressure regulator or as Hitachi calls it the fuel pump flow rate control solenoid. I found one on amazon from brand X for $30 that had a 4 star review from 600 people but after saturday evening I could never find that listing again so on sunday I bought this one and it arrived today as well as my Hitachi HPP0015 HPFP. I installed the $30 regulator in my original HPFP and its been working GREAT for 2 years now.
You could've just bought the oem brand from rock auto and installed it from a video on youtube :( I'm guessing it's a 2008-12? Would've just paid 214.84 plus shipping/tax just for buying the oem brand.
Hitachi IGC0003 from Rock auto, 3 years, zero issues.
In my case my accessories battery is being starved of charge, I have changed the alternator, j367, and both batteries. The alternator delivers 14.9 volts to the starter battery, but only 13.1volts to the AGM bat, I keep getting 'switching off consumer electrics......'
I replaced it with a new Hitachi sensor, but I'm still getting the check engine light. I checked the codes again and it's the same. Don't know if using an aftermarket sensor was a bad idea.
I thought I was getting OEM Hitachi Reman for $275. And I pop the cap off, it's scraping on the coil tower. It's stamped Made in China, I could've gotten the same junk off RockAuto for $129 or so. It's going back.
