What does that mean?

Of course there is a difference in ring/bearing quality.

If you are doing a stock rebuild, just use nissan parts. If you are building a more performance engine, use performance parts.

Nissan rings are about $110
Rod bearings about $25
Main bearing set about $50

So look to spend about $200... not half that. This is for the FWD SR not the DET lord knows what goes in them. If this was for fan belts I'd say buy whatever you want. If it's crap and breaks, you just throw another one on. Internal engine parts? not as easy to get at and they have a tendency to take out other parts with them.
