I need a Fuel filter already. I've been looking for one but it seems I can't find one. Suggestions?

 

Call Dave B at 888-254-6060, price with shipping is around $25 and this includes the O ring.

Edit: Forgot to mention, tell him you are on the org, maxima forums.

 

what brand is the filter?

 

Brand? Nissan OE man, Dave B works at a Nissan Dealer in the parts department. Call, ask, pay and wait. I ordered one myself.

 

If you go to your local dealership, don't call it a "filter" or you'll end up in a confusing argument about the car having a lifetime filter blah blah blah. It can be a very frustrating experience; was for me. Use the phrase "fuel strainer".

And here's a link to probably the best write-up on replacement:

Just ordered one this past weekend, part # 16400-2y505 for about $10 dollars, and yes, they call it a fuel strainer.

 

Yeah the guy at the dealer argued telling me you NEVER have to change them. And when I did, my car has NEVER run better. Do it. Well worth the fuel $ and time.

I have 173K on mine BTW

good call on the "fuel strainer"! i can picture the argument between a customer and the parts guy; one person arguing that its a fuel filter and the parts guy playing dumb saying: "i don't know what you're talking about man, the fuel filter is in your tank and its a lifetime filter"

 

Dunno if that have a "Dash Distributors" or a "Greg's Distributors" where you live, but they have/can get virtually anything OEM

 

Dave B is by far the best because you talk to an actual Nissan Dealer parts guy, get the right part and the best advice over the phone. Unless you are in a hurry and want the part same day.

 

do these things really work? any1 tried that performace chip that is usually for sale on ebay?

 

That's like asking, "Do tires really work?"

What an odd post.
