Yes they are remans. They are the Z1 2 piece rotors, and I went with their default pads since I plan on buying a 2nd set of pads for racing to swap back and fourth with in the future. I bought their package.

My battery has been getting weak, struggling with low temps. Today it just didn't have what it takes to start the car. Sucks, I kind of wanted to take it for a drive.
Welp. Need a new battery. This will be its third.

I bought a AGM battery from batteries plus, came with a five year warranty. Starts in -50 wind chills no problem. Might replace it with a Odyssey for weight but could also just relocate to the trunk.

After 5 years on the original battery, I put a new one in from the dealership. I believe Nissan rebrands INTERSTATE batteries.
Makes no sense to me why it would be so weak 2 1/2 years later. I wonder if there's a warranty?
Seems good batteries are running north of $200 to $300. Ouch.

I forgot what a PITA it is to remove the battery... but I did, then I drove it to our Infiniti Dealership because I bought it over the counter there 2 1/2 years ago, and right there on the battery is the Infiniti claim of a "84 Month Limited Warranty!" Well, it turns out "limited" is pretty limited, but still a savings. They pro-rated it and sold me a replacement for $85. The old one was rated at 580 CCA, but tested at 240 CCA (and BINGO!, there's my problem.) The replacement is rated at 700 CCA.
Both of them weigh a ton.
Install later this weekend. It's cold and dark again already.

I know interstate,advance auto, and autozone batteries are all made by the same folks (even though the batteries are slightly different). I always had good luck with Interstate for a regular battery. Optima red-top for alternative. Needed one in the Mini (the battery is inside the hatch, needed that or a $400 externally vented battery) so got a few more. The one in my Jeep lasted 8 years.

I went with the one I linked above over an Optima red-top due to all the complaints I've heard in the last few years about their quality. Ever since they changed their production to Mexico the quality has become junk.

I had heard that too. One of the big box stores had a similar cell-type battery to the optima that was their own store brand - for the life of me can't remember which. Wonder if they're made any better?

Fyi. The x2 from batteries plus and others are made by Odessey. They are the go-to AGM in the off-road world now diehard platinums are no longer.
Run a x2 in the Tacoma and the G. The Tacoma has 2yrs of flawless service with more battery draw-down and charge cycles than most sane people should ever see.
