i need to change my fuel filter this weekend badly. Should i go buy the 300Z filter or just stick to the regular replacement? Any useful tips on brands to go for over others? Last time i bought a FRAM filter seemed to work fine.

If i go with the 300Z one, what year(s) do i need to buy one for? and will modification be needed for the bracket?

any other feedback is welcome!
thanks,

Ant

 

Buy it from a 96 Z, same year as your car. I use WIX filters, they seem to be high quality and I always read good reviews on them. The fuel filter is one of those things that you wish you didn't have to change as often, especially if you have ABS. It's a simple job but sort of nerve racking. It's only a few bucks more than a max filter and last longer.

 

Most Defiantely you should get the Fuel filter for the Turbo Z, I dont think it matters what year as long as its 93+

You dont need to modify anything to get it to fit in, it will fit in and ber very snug.

The Z filter is (like in the faqs) Twice as big, twice as efficient, My idle was felt very smooth after wards. Nothing negative about putting the Z fuel filter on.

Sweet looking Max by the way. Love the rims.

 

Both the n/a z and the TT z share the same filter.

 

thanks guys!

I've heard of problems fitting if you have ABS though.

 

Definitely go with the 300Z filter. I ran into no fitment problems at all.

 

its not to bad to change is you take out the intake pluming. The 300zx filter looks the same, is just bigger. I use fram fuel filters.

 

I don't even put fram on my dad's POS 95 saturn.

 

oh no? well i do

 

Well were can you get a cheap 300zx filter (other than the dealer)?

 

How much the 300z Fuel Filter cost, what is the average price that the dealers charge?
I need to change my fuel filter soon. Thanks in advance.

 

I used a regular filter (STP, I think), but I am kind of wishing that I had used a 300ZX one. The reasons: it was a pain to do and that would keep me from having to do it again really soon.

 

I have had the 300ZX fuel filter in my car for 1.5 years with no problems performance or fitment, just need to bend the bracket that holds it to allow for a wider filter. i'm going to replace it with another one soon already (has over 20K miles on it)
