Which Aftermarket/local Rb Water Pump?

[Dan_J]

after a recommendation for a rb water pump to suit the stock one that isnt a pricey nissan one.

seen a few rb30 pumps under $50 on ebay and wondering if they will fall to shit within a few months?

who runs something like mentioned above, discuss .

thanks

edit: seems gates also make water pumps to suit RB, might give it a go

Just go to Holden and buy one off them. It wont be much more than $100 and you know its genuine then

Much better then a dodgy eBay one failing and the car overheating

Not saying all the eBay ones are dodgy, but for the sake of $50ish is it really worth the trouble?

yeah i know what you mean so i started the thread for feedback, although gates is a known brand so i am swaying that way

I got a genuine one from the states

it all depends how much you want to pay

Get a genuine one, it would be just $20-$30 difference anyway for a peace of mind, i heard the aftermarket ones usually prone to leak fast and its normally covered by warranty for 3 years, otherwise get the Nissan one.

Get OEM done, GMB are ok but jiffo or someone else told me they had first hand experience with them weeping.

FYI I bought an entire OEM timing kit (belts, bearings, seals, water pump) all for 340$ delivered to my door step off EBay US
