Some exotics, for example, source motors from elsewhere (e.g., last gen Lotus Elise had a Toyota/Yamaha motor).

Although apparently Valvoline makes the OEM gear oil
I think some components is not designed by NISSAN. Remember the problematic gas pedal of those Toyota, I believe they just bought the component from MAGNA.

Probably similar with some of the components in NISSAN too.

US is very restricted on this, Canada is a bit easy on this one.
