Fuel Filter question...
#3
just replaced mine 2 days ago
with nissan factory oem part....with parts like fuel filters, oil filters and such, i find it best to replace with oem parts simply for the fact that they were sent from nissan with that part, so it must be designed to do the job.

15k for an OEM maxima fuel filter. Supposedly 30k for a 300zx fuel filter. The 300zx fuel filter has about twice the surface area of a maxima fuel filter so it'll last about twice as long. The only benefit of using a 300zx FF is that it'll last twice as long, so you don't have to change it as often.

the way i got it was...(called my neighbour whos a mechanic and mechanical engineer or something...hes got a full basement of tools...quite conveniant for me) and he came over and he went from underneath with some tool...only enough room to get it loosened...and we pulled HARD for about 30 mins?we didnt get gas on our hands that instant...but the filter holds in a **** load of gas...dont be fooled...it wouldnt stop pooring gas when tilted...LITERALLY wouldnt stop...so when i was cleaning up and i lifted it thinking it was empty got that **** poured on me...I dont know why nissan put the filter there...(not to mention my clamp was facing in wards to the car...making it harder) but a honda civic has it placed at such an easy place...just as easy as filling up washer fluid...***leaves room and cries***

Wait, I have a 99. If I get the 300zx filter, which year filter do I get? The 96? What is the part number? Also, does anyone else have more information on why the 300zx filter is superior? So it has more surface area? Does if fit correctly on the max? Will i get better gas Mileage with the 300zx filter? Any info would be great. Thanks.
