I dropped in a 300zx tt fuel filter today and let me tell you theres a ginormous difference in the acceleration response with this filter. i dont know if its because it was just a new filter of because its sooooo much larger then the standard Maxima filter but theres a noticeable difference.
Before there was a minimal delay when you really got on it, and my other filter was relatively new considering it was changed like 5-6000 miles ago. But today i took it out after i put the filter in and i tell you i would recommend everyone spend the $18.00 and get the 300zx tt filter. Its easy enough to install for anyone that knows how to use a screwdriver.

 

I dropped in a z32 filter a month ago and felt to big difference. You really shouldnt feel a difference b/c the filter is just bigger, its not like it flows more fuel.

How old was your old filter.

Also, your sig, are you boosted?
Edit: nvm those arent boost gauges

 

Was the filter that you previously installed 5-6000 miles ago OEM or aftermarket? If OEM, then IMO what you're experiencing is called "Placebo effect".

 

i dunno but i know i feel a difference... theres 2 different filters though from what Mr. Advance Auto Parts man told me One for the NA and one for the TT. I dunno. but like i said my stock filter was one 6000 miles in. 2 oil changes. I mean granted i just changed the plugs and PCV valve last week. But i didnt see the real difference until this morning.

 

It was an OEM. But i know my car and i know it wasnt pulling the way it was this morning.. yesterday.

 

Well, I don't know what to say. How was the weather yesterday when you last drove it compared to today? Maybe since you just put new plugs in recently, your ECU finally "relearned" and now you're seeing the difference. Took many variables to consider.

In theory, you shouldn't see a gain. What I think people should take away from all of this is: Don't run out right now and replace your OEM filter with this 300zx filter just for the sake of doing it, but do go with the 300zx filter when it's maintenance time.

 

it was relatively the same... maybe 5 degrees cooler, but nothing to major. but maybe its the combination of everything. but i changed the plugs and pcv last monday. a week to "relearn"

 

The only difference between a stock filter and the z32 filter is that it is bigger than stock. That means it will last longer, not give better flow.

No gains should be seen in theory as Wiz is saying.

Idk what to tell you, maybe your old filter was clogged to the point it was causing poor performance?

 

@ Z32 fuel filter power gain.

 

this is possible but how clogged could it have possibly have gotten after only 6000 miles??

 

A week to relearn plug changes? Get out of here.
Ive changed plugs while on the dyno and didnt need no "relearn" time.

 

thats what im saying... that didnt make "sense" to me either... but like i said to wizard betwee yesterday pre filter vs. today post filter it accelerates way better. i didnt say a power gain though!!

 

I still have yet to do this.. with the FF sitting in my room..

 

lol^than what u waiting on chop chop get to it lol

 

It's tight in there (hehe) and I don't feel like getting covered with gasoline. I've been extremely lazy lately

 

You spill like less than 1oz of gasoline total lazy bum.

(shouldn't talk is way over due on an oil change and has a box of amsoil+wix filter sitting in his room).

Also, yeah, my car kicked so much *** after doing the Z32 FF swap...

 

You should install the Z32 MAF too, it will get more powers!

 

thats what i said

 

Maybe I'll do it this weekend.

But I have a feeling you're being sarcastic about your car "kicking ***" lol

 

Hey it's butt dyno proven my friend, a Z32 FF will net you a good 10 seat/lbs.

 

 

btw i sent u ^ a FB request

 

Y'all are retarded... Lmao... There was never any comment on more power.. I just said it felt like it accelerated harder... However I did look it up to see if there was any difference and on both the sr20 forums and rx7 forums there were multiple statements bout those guys doing it and they said the 300 filter has a slightly better flow rate.. I didn't see any numbers or anything but that's what I read.

 

Yea chris get ur a$$ out there n do it.. Lol

 

I added you

I probably will this weekend.

 

If you're still using the same same fuel pump then the size of the filter (as long as it's clean) shouldn't matter right?

 

Which year 300zx filter did you get, about time for me to replace mine.

 

get a Z32 filter, any year from that production generation will fit

 

yea.. i got a 96

 

I think mine was a 90 or a 91 idk. All the same stuff
