just ordered my fuel filter and o-ring from him. total inc shipping to LA was 22 + change. my local dealer wanted 24 for the filter and 8 for the o-ring! then there's sales tax on top of that. i saved like $10 thru dave. i wasn't expecting to save that much considering these are low priced items, but dayaaam. thanks again dave.

 

I'm buying my filter and o-ring from him shortly as well.

 

What's up with all the fuel filter stuff?

What did I miss?!?

 

Dave is the man!

 

Steve-o, any word on any of my tracking #'s? I havnt recieved any of my orders yet?

 

Just trying to squeeze every hp I can out of my engine while I'm still NA.

 

haha. just wanna make sure my car runs for a while. i'm coming up on 95k so gotta maintain it pretty well.

 

He came through for me as well. I was installing a remote gain control for my car and the best place for it is the coin holder by the emergency brake. I called up courtesy asking for a blank(the plastic piece that pops in the hole) and they had no clue what I was talking about. I called DaveB and he told me the part number, said he had one in stock and also checked to see if one was closer to me. He is a great guy.

 

You have tracking numbers via PM

 

I'll bite... what's up with the fuel filter???? Just regular maintenance or is there a better filter to be bought???

 

I doubt you'll be able to find a replacement filter anywhere other than a dealership or DaveB.

 

You cant, they will try to sell you the whole pump. Even at the dealer.

Anybody know what the recommeded service interval for the fuel filter is in the Owners' Manual?

I'm willing to be it's 60K-90K, so IF I still have the original stocker at 90K+ like serin, I'd replace the pump/filter/o-ring/etc.. all at once.

 

It says to change it at 100K miles I tried to call the dealer just to see if I can order it and they said nope, it only comes with the pump which is obviously bullsh!t since daveb can hook us up. Same with the HID wiring harness, they said it would cost like 700+ for it they were trying to sell the entire wiring set along with the harness when Dave once again hooked it up for like what $80 shipped!

 

supposed to be a 'lifetime' filter.

and yes, a dealer will sell you just the filter.

 

out of curiosity, will changing the filter have any effect on my mileage? i guess i could see how it would affect performance, but how bout efficiency?

 

IF 100K is considered to be a lifetime then your right, but it the serive manual it sez 100K. When I called the dealer they didnt WANT to sell me just the filter, but the pump along with it but I honestly didnt try to hard since I only have 30K.

They say the same thing with the spark plugs, it will go 100K once again it WILL go 100K, both the filter and the plugs BUT the thing is it wont be operating at 100% efficiency at that mileage, just working. It would be a good idea to change the plugs (I just did, and they didnt look to pretty) and the filter around the 30-40K mark just to keep it working 100% efficient. It will play a role in increasing your mileage since you pump doesnt have to force fuel through a slightly restricted filter. Same with performance, it wont be a huge increase but something the driver would feel.

 

PcGuru said his mileage went up after changing his fuel filter.

 

how do u change the fuel filter on a 5th gen i heard its in the gas tank.

 

Yes...you have to remove the fuel pump anyways, so I'd either replace it with a new one or get a Walbro.

 

is there any advantage to changing to a walbro if you don't have any special needs such as boost?

 

No...

 

How can I reach Daveb, need to see about getting the "3.5L" badge
and heard he may have a gear shifter (auto) glow in dark for
maxima (03). Plus maybe he has insites on prices tips for pipes.

Can you guys point me in right direction
