Products that havent failed me......
In 3 years of nissan use and some of them 2 years of GM use before that.
Electromotive TEC II DOS version pafz2g
Paxton FPR
Autometer electronic FP guage
Paxton pump....the big red LOUD one
Kaaz LSD
FMIC from Fmax
theres plenty more but some of them were "wear" items that wore as they should even though the consensus was the products would fail.
Some stuff that has give me alot of problems:
AN fittings not machined right
Autometer tachs (went through 3 of em before i got one that worked)
oil return lines(i finally went with a factory GM turbo return line that i had left over)
Vacuum lines bursting on wastegates
vibration or heat related wiring failures
anyway i figured id post which products that have exceeded my exptations and such, whats yours?

Things that have failed me :
1- my car
2- my patience(sometimes)(actually most times)
Things that have not failed me:
1-Tsing Tao beer while working on the car
2-The tiny little craftsmen adjustable wrench smaller than a pack of cigarettes
3- Me knowing that my car will be done one day and I have good friends to help
