Default Ebay slim quick release?

Anyone ever used one, or know anyone that did? I know some of the ebay shit is too shit to run, but some of it isnt too bad.

This is the QR Im referring to, CLick

Any info on them is appreciated.

Can't be too bad Mike. Its 19 bucks and worth giving a shot. If you think its too cheep when you get it sell it to the honda kids for like 50 bucks. But if you like it and it does not feel like shit let me know. I may get one.

One of those came with the hub I had. They are a bitch to turn so the wheel would come off. I wouldnt spend money on it. Takes about a minutes to put the wheel on and lock it tight, then another minute to take it off. Wasnt it meant to be a "quick" release.

Well its not really for the "quick" part of it, its for the release part. But thanks for the input, makes my decision easier lol.

my buddy has been running his regular NRG unit for a couple years now... i've had a look up close, and it's of surprising quality... I'd go with that..

Well the slim NRG for Nissan is pretty recent, so I'd have to assume that BZ is talking about the standard model. By the way, this is a slim NRG copy.

You're not going to find me putting something of questionable quality between my hands and the front tires. ...that's all I'm saying.

Or double down and get some eBay tie rods, too!

yeah, the actual NRG's are decent, but I would not buy a knock off version only to have it slip and not be able to steer the car or lock up and not turn etc etc. Go cheap on some things, but not a part that can directly endanger your life...
