Posted August 20, 201410 yr comment_453813 Last night while attempting to remove the Water Temperature Sender from the Thermostat Housing on my 240z, i over tightened the sensor and broke the thread where it slides in. I believe this part can be replaced and i decided to purchase it at MotorSport Auto. Motorsport! Thermostat Housing, 70-72 240Z - The Z Store!

August 21, 201410 yr comment_453844 I haven't purchased this part from MSA, but I have bought a lot of parts from them, and so far they've all met or exceeded my expectations. Not sure this helps you or not, but I'd be comfortable with what they sell.

August 21, 201410 yr comment_453845 Both MSA and the eBay seller are re-selling factory Nissan parts. In other words, all three are the same part. MSA's mark-up is much more reasonable, and customer service probably better.Not to take a sale from MSA, but it is a small sale, you could probably get this directly from a Nissan dealer.
