not genuine but GME water pump pretty high classed aftermaket brand for waterpumps
fit them at work all the time never had any problems with them and still have the one on mine that was put on at 100 000kms car now has 312 000 kms, buying only genuine products is a waste of money, some stuff is good but it's like buying genuine drive belts or timing belts when you get them they are only gates belts anyways but with an extra $20-50 on top of the price beacuse it "genuine".

With the Nissan belts they have usually been sitting on the shelf for the past 5-10 years! :O And look fairly average. I would go Gates, as andy said... Most oem belts are gates anyway. They also have heavy duty options. Otherwise I really like the Gready belts too. Have never heard anything bad about GME water pumps and know alot of cars with lot of Km's on them. Would be one of the few aftermarket brands I would go for

Toyota uses Bando (sometimes Mitsuboshi), and so did Mazda from the factory
they're way better than any of that Gates crap

it's a matter of doing things right, not "being a man" or not
chopping off the factory connectors and hacking together connections for an aftermarket radio is stupid and potentially cause all sorts of problems

If you stuff up a simple job like that you should probly go home and put a skirt on.
Pics of your skirt Ed? BRAND -> ISO, ISO -> Mazda Those are unnecessary costs.
