I just wanted to make sure I was correct about this before I bought one. You can use a 300ZX fuel filter on a 4th gen with no extra modification needed, right??? What are the postivies of using the 300ZX filter instead of the maxima one??? Thanks guys.

 

yes u can use a 300zx filter. its bigger so it will last you a bit longer.

 

No advantages

 

It suppose to have double the life span of the maxima fuel filter. My car right now is using the 300zx fuel filter

 

Good to know. Thanks.

 

i switched to a 300zx fuel filter, no mods required, one advantage is double the life span (arguable because some here say the fuel filter filters better when its dirty thus u can keep it on longer). get the 96 TT 300zx fuel filter

 

How can a dirty fuel filter be better? I know changing it to a more flowing filter is better. I was at the track with my j30 and i ran a 16.05 @90 for two runs. When i went back in the staging lane i changed the fuel filter to a high flow fuel filter, those tubes were like glued on.., ran one last time and got 15.91 @ 90 ,it helps your car get off the line a little bit better. So don't expect much from doing this.

 

Now I have heard it all.

 

maybe ur filter was clogged to the point of choking off the supply. there is a fine line betwee na dirty filter that is still operable, and a clogged filter.

search and u'll find out, i am not about to repeat myself for the gazzilionth time

 

lolllll


anywayz, just go w/ the 300. clampin it on is the tricky part cause its bigger than the max's. just get sum zip ties or sumthing

 

I just got one since I figured I needed a new fuel filter and people recomended it. Don't expect any performance boosts, but I don't see how a bigger fuel filter could hurt at all. Doesn't require any modifications, but the tubes are much more difficult to get on since it's slightly larger.

 

well after i changed my max fuel filter to a "high flow" 300 zx filter,
i slashed my 1/4 time by 2 sec!
so there has to be performance gains dude!

 

Or your old filter was so damn dirty that it was choking off fuel from your engine. That was not a performance gain, you just got back to where you should have been with a properly operating fuel filter.

 

I really never have noticed an increase in difficulty with sliding the hoses on.

 

i have the 300zx on both my maxima's... they work great.

 

hows salt lake man? i miss it, i want to come home. how are the maximas runnin? got any old parts lying around to sell me? lol

 

can these be bought at AutoZone/Kragen/Pepboys?

 

most likely yes, but not genuine nissan parts. check autozone.com

 

naw you can just bend the existing bracket outward a bit and it fits perfectly in there. i didnt add or subtract anything to get it to sit right.

actually the apertures are almost identical. there is really no difference between the two other than the width of the actual cannister.


yes
refer to above


no, stick with nissan OEM parts for sensitive stuff like this

call Dave Burnette at South Pointe Nissan - 888-254-6060
