I want to replace the fuel filter is but is there a better one then oem,use a cheap aftermarket one,or one of the high flow glass type.

Whats your thoughts.

 

Stick with OEM.
Only like $15.

 

Solid

 

OEM Z32 TT filter is what I use. Direct fit.

 

Buy the Nissan 300zx fuel filter. Its made in Japan compared to the one thats stock thats made in mexico or China. I bought it and it has really better build quality it feels and looks like a premium filter. Get the original one by Nissan. Its the one that last the longest to 60,000 miles.

 

Good idea about the Z32 TT filters. I think a Z32, like my G50, can pump up about ~10 lbs more pressure than what I've seen on the A32.

 

Does going OEM on fuel filter really matter? I go with whatever equivalent (FRAM, Purolator etc) is at the parts store because it's a really simple device. Just so long as you replace it regularly.

 

+1

As long as they are replaced at a decent interval, FRAM, Purolator etc. are fine...plus the fact that if u change em more frequently than 60k, the easier they are to remove the gas line from...its a 5 min. job i dont mind doing

 

Well I went and ordered the Nissan maxima oem one. Thanks for your input guys

 

So I received my oem filter today. I also replaced the small sections of fuel hose before and after the filter. Two sections where the clamps were was separated. Im surprised I did not have a fuel leak.

 

It's very important that when you replace that hose, you the correct replacement that us in spec. Off the top of my head the specification goes something like sae r39. It should be written repeatedly on the hose.

 

^ What he said. Check that the hose is rated for fuel injection the parts monkeys won't. They will just uncoil 2 foot of hose and never look back.

 

Should've went Z32, the bracket doesn't get stretched that much. It'll last longer too.

 

I have the correct hose.I went with oem because i wanted to order the part asap and the reply's were slow

 

The only reason I didn't recommend a Z32 is because of a previous post I read where someone was talking about it affecting fuel pressure and you shouldn't use it without a way to adjust it.

Everyone keeps chiming in saying you should have though, so it figures I stumbled across some misinformation. OEM will still last you at least 60k, but I've seen them on cars still at 200k with the original. You're fine.
