What is the advantage to a 300ZX filter? Is this an OEM part number?

So gas fills up the outside and diffuses though the cardboard/paper and out the top. There's metal caps on the top and bottom of the filter material to hold it in place.
edit: the top is actually glued to the top of the filter, no cap needed there.

Hooks up just fine. About the acceleration, it's possible that it improved only if your filter was really clogged.
On my maxima, original filter had 187k when I changed it. I noticed smoother idle and driving. Not particularly quicker. But my mpg went from 19 to 22.

Reading This thread I'm so surprised by how long you guys have been driving with the same fuel filter? Wow!
Fuel filter is part of the scheduled maintenance. And just like it's been repeated the filter doesn't increase power its just a longer lasting filter due to the size. The intake and output nipples are the same size as our cars. And the acceleration is due to the lack of fuel before hand. If this "mod" is what it takes for you guys to change your filters than by all means do it! Lol

Did mine yesterday took about 20 mins max. Smoother idle and seems throttle response has improved. I got my filter for $12 or something from auto-zone. Well worth the money. Hopefully my mpg will increase also. Don't be lazy just do it its easy.

It's a damn ***** to switch these.. on my 97, I started removing the intake and then just looked at it, tried to stick my hand in, said forget it and re-assembled everything. no way i can get that out lol. it's in such a horrible place. i'm scared to take my old one out because if i can't get the new one in i'm obviously screwed and have no means of transportation.
i'll try again this weekend... i must lol. pretty sure the one in there now has never been changed.

Does the brand name make a difference or does it just have to be F54794 ?
I've found two on ebay:

Does it really make a difference?

damn i should swap it out. still got the original one. i only have 120k km but the cars 17 years old so some gas may have varnished up in there... plus even with the 00vi swap i'm only able to get 550km out of a tank (supposedly i'm could to get around 600) and thats with 2-2.5k rpm shifting, no lead foot.
gonna have to get one and some seafoam and do that next week.

I just replaced mine with a 300zx filter and noticed the filter had dirty gas coming out of it. I gained a smoother idle and better mpg using premium gas and better than before acceleration! i dont think my original fuel filter was ever changed before and im now at 226k miles.
