Every 20 to 25K?

 

I'm gonna use mine for 15k-20k, so far there's only 4k on it...

 

whats the benefit of the 300z fuel filter?

 

It's quite a bit larger than the one for the Maxima, so you can use it longer. I used the 300z fuel filter when I replaced mine last weekend. It fits perfectly in the bracket on the Maxima.

I will probably change it out at 25K.

 

I thought the stock filter is good for 15-20k? and the Z is good for double the time?

 

It's the other way around I think...

 

just change it once a year and don't worry about it. for the $5 they cost, it's a non-issue. eat one less cheeseburger and it's paid for.

 

Oh maaaaannnnn.

 

I am plannig on 20 k miles.... i HATE changing the fuel filter

 

Me too. Thats why I'm using the Z filter.

 

i say 25-30K, stock is 15 and this is double so 30k
i had to cut hte feul line when i changed it

 

I don't get why people ***** about changing the fuel filter. It takes 5 minutes and it's as easy as 1,2,5...

 

I'm at 50k stock fuel filter... should I change it?

 

you crazy canuks and your wild units of measure...


YES it's due

 

I guess I need to change mine..........I'm at 57K

Is it hard to do??

 

The job is not hard but its more of a pain to manuver your hands in there to get it loose and to remove it. The job gets better if you have ABS.

 

I have big hands........don't read ANYTHING into that, its not true

I guess it will be hard for me to get to mine.......where is it on the VQ35??

 

this guy changed it at like 100k miles/ 160k km

how do I get to the bottom hose? how much does the fuel filter cost at your local dealer? I remember my friend buying one and it was like $30 cdn

 

I use Z filters, but just change them "when I'm in there". I changed it when I swapped the engine, and whenever I have the intake piping off and I think of it. I've got 3 or 4 of them in my garage.

 

It should be on the firewall down under your steering pump.

 

what is a good way to get the hoses off? Or what tool is good to use? I tried to get mine off and I couldnt.

 

I use pliers to hold the hoses in place while I twist the filter back and forth until it breaks free. You have to place the pliers on the fittings of the filter for this to work.

 

I use an interior door panel popper around the hose then just pop it off..

Took me literally 40 seconds to do the whole thing.

 

installing mine soon, just to check, the output(flat side) is facing on top when mounted correct?

 

Yes................................

 

does anybody have a diagram on where the fuel filter is found?
