Default Differences in Camshaft Position Sensor brands ?

Greetings all-

I'm still on my original 2 sensors but am thinking I'll change them soon ( 2003 6mt with 109,000 miles) as preventative maintenance.

I see these for sale all over the place, Auto Zone to Z1 and of course OEM.

Any difference between them ?

Thanks in advance

Its the same as anything, you buy cheap you'll be replacing them again far quicker due to failure than if you go for quality parts.

I would not touch them unless they fail, and only then would I replace them with genuine Nissan units. This not a rubber belt.

OEM for sure. And no sense replacing them until they go bad. Even when they go bad you won't be stranded or even into Limp mode. At least mine didn't.
