time to replace mine. Some options are:

Nissan: $17
Fram: $16
AutoZone: $10
Purolator (from Advance): $10
Beck/Arnley (from Advance): $16

Which should I get? any other suggestions? Thanks...

 

I would probably just get the one from the stealership. I buy most of my parts from NAPA, though. I think the last one I bought was a NAPA gold for like $15ish.

 

in my experiences...a fuel filter is a fuel filter........i get the cheapest one i can get.....

 

I've always had good luck with the Purolater filters made for a Z32. Not sure how much the size makes a difference, but bigger looks faster

 

for a $1 more, OEM will work perfect.

 

for what its worth i made more than 400whp on a purolator.

 

I bought one a year ago from the dealership and it said some weird brand name on it that I don't remember ATM. So basically, even the Nissan ones are made by a 3rd party.

 

I'm an OEM type of person so I will say stick to original parts.

 

OEM only.

 

Purolator will work fine- they are all mass produced and are used in most 4 cylinder/6 cylinder Nissan applications. Seriously Doubt the OE one is any different or holds any special trait above the Purolator. A $5 filter is marked up to $15 at a dealership- so any type of filter with special media or enhanced design technique will most likely be MUCH more expensive at the dealer, and probably only available if sought out from a performance aftermarket brand.

 

Guess I will get a purolator then, I going to replace my fuel filter also. I think they are like $10 at autozone.

 

300ZX fuel filter fits just fine in there as well.. and its bigger

 

for me Napa Wix Purolator would be what id got for in a pinch AutoZone/Advance Auto

 

been using one since 98..work great and bigger.

 

Haven't seen you around here in ages dude

 

just wondering are Fram really that bad? i dont use Fram but alot of people seem to hate it

 

Fram is just cheap and looks cheap 2 have anything from under your hood, I've used Fram on other auto's and never had a problem w/any of there filters. I like the Z32 fuel filter and it looks nice in engine compartment.

 

Never used it, but my friend got a fram oil filter for free from autozone after buying oil, and when we saw it, we knew right away its not something we wanna install. It looks like its made from recycled materials.

 

i had a fram seep/leak on me. you know the seal between the metal and the plastic...i open the hood and it's always wet.

 

Hey which model year of the 300ZX fuel filter do you use? ANd how much does it cost? I am considering getting one.

 

The Z32 years. Should cost about the same as the Maxima one.

 

Not trying to be funny, but what are the z32 years??

 

not tryin to sound like a *****, but google should be everyones friend by now

 

I mean there are 2 different engines in the z32, Im assuming I should get the one for the VG30DE engine?? non turbo.

 

Not sure but I would always get the one for the twin turbo model(vg30dett)

 

The filter is the same for both engines.

 

Great I just picked up one from pep boys. It is much larger than the stock one I have in there now. Going to install it today. It was like $13 from pep boys. And it is the same filter for both engines.

 

The new filter does wonders! feels like im in a real sports car now in a way lol!

 

thats all in your cephalo buddy

 

I dont know, but it sure feels like a new car in a way. I guess with all the new parts Ive installed within the past six months, it just rides soo much better than before.

 

been on and off. most of the 4dsc.com OG's have moved on. I still have her but she only gets driven maybe once a week. Spend most of my time on 2 wheels commuting these days.

I'll take some pics of her this weekend for old time sakes.

 

I dont think it really matters...a fuel filter is a fuel filter. I get cheap stuff from O'Reilly auto parts.
