title basically says it all:

i saw a post before that said they are the almost the same in size but the 300zx is just longer. is there any difference (ie. better filtering) or is it all just a myth?

Bigger filter = longer service interval

No better in the quality of the filter

 

I could swear this was in the FAQ's

 

i checked but it's not

 

Its in the FAQ thread at the top of the 4th gen forum but not in the MAXFAQ's off the main page.

I can understand why you wouldn't find it. Being expected to look through 2 FAQ with no search capability is a PITA.

 

I dont think the car will run right, it wont get the right fuel mixture.

 

...a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...

Using that logic, you could also adversely affect your mixture with a different sized fuel tank, too.

 

I take that back...I couldn't find this in the FAQ thread either...

 

Didn't feel like reading through everything but doesn't it also provide more fuel to the engine because of its bigger size?

 

whew... i thought i needed to check my vision there for a second

i think we found something to add to the FAQ

now what is this about fuel mixture? and what does the fuel filter have to do with it?

 

Ugh...

The size of the fuel filter in NO way effects the amount of fuel delivered to the engine.

It is controled by the fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, and injectors. The size of the filter only changes how long it will work effectivly.

 

that is exactly what i thought, thanks alot i'm gonna call Mark from Tustin Nissan and get my 300zx fuel filter!

thanks everyone!

Forgot about that.

 

i knew where it was.. it was in the maintenance FAQ that was accidentally deleted

 

That's what I was thinking of before...damn Bill!

 

My car is running right. Has been for 4 months now. They do no harm to the car.

 

it was anythign but an accident...

 

it was an accident.. but lets not get into that

 

agreed...just felt that it wasn't an accident...but wats done been done..cannot change wat has happened...let's just move on...i'm just bored so i figure i'd post something...

 

did you notice a gain in performance??

 

Couldn't tell you b/c I put it on the same time the supercharger went on.

 

Fuel filter has NOTHING to do with performance.
