Hello, i am needing to replace my 08 z's throttle bodies. I am looking around for the cheapest option that will be as good as oem without buying them from the dealer because those are way too expensive. I also cant buy any used ones from junkyards near me because they all only have DE throttle bodies, and not HR.

my first option are nissan value advantage from z1motorsports

It says they are remanufactured which would explain why they are only $200 each, but I've never bought from nissan value advantage and they dont have any reviews.
has anyone gotten these and can recommend them?

While looking for other options i i found " hitachi throttle chamber assembly" at advancedautoparts for $150. Im not sure if these are the oem throttle bodies because it does say hitachi and it claims that it will fit my car, but im very fishy of the fact that its $150 for a brand new oem throttle body. If they are oem that would be the best option because i wont have to wait/pay for shipping, and that would save a total of $100

im not sure which ones to get, i i just cant afford to buy a wrong/bad part but i am also on a limited budget. If anyone has any input on these products, or has any other advice for where to get them it would be greatly appreciated.

Nissan Value Advantage parts are supposed to be just as good as OEM without the Nissan logo, thats what they claim anyway. The parts also have a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty so if they do fail they'll be covered for some time.

I believe concept Z sells oem and oem remanufactured. Good luck with your search.

I would check out an out of state or non-local make specific auto-dismantler. OEM throttle bodies aren't known for premature failures (at least to my knowledge) so getting a used one shouldn't be a very risky venture. There's some Nissan Specific auto-dismantlers in Rancho Cordova CA. I often use these resources to source hard to get parts. They are usually pretty good about inventory, condition details, and price. You just have to call them to get specifics. Links below:

Good Luck!
