i was wondering if any of you know a place where i can get a nissan OEM fuel filter around NYC, for cheap...under $15...cuz courtesy has it but rather get it from around here faster and no shipping..cuz i put the fram in there and it sucksss...it got clogged real quick or alteast it isnt doing its job too well...how much can a bad fuel filter, and bad tires and bad struts mess with your fuel economy?? im changing all this crap in da summer when i work!!

 

Go to a Nissan dealer and get it there. Don't skimp on simple parts like this.

 

And if your really that concerend with spending 15 bucks get one for a 300zx. It will last twice as long.

Hey, i was wondering what year 300zx filter? Turbo or NA. When you guys change your fuel filter, do u take out your fuel pump fuse and let the fuel run out in the fuel line? I heard it was really bad to let you engine run out of gas? Is this method safe or is there a better one. Thanx. JsL

 

I think any ZX fuel filter will do.

According to the FSM the way you described is the correct way. The prefered way would be to hook the car up to a consult and have it shut down the fuel pump, but in the absence of one, pulling the fuse is the best way to go.

 

got a fuel filter at the dealer for around $13...why order it
when u have to pay shipping...jus drive to ur nearest nissan dealership

 

The 300zx goes back to 1984...lol...im thinking its the 1990 to 1996 generation. Do you need to Mod n e thing to install the 300zx filter instead of the maxima one? It fits but just a little bigger right? Sorry so many questions, don't want to buy the wrong thing Thanx.

 

Same fitting sizes - larger cannister is all, so has more filter element inside, hence, it lasts longer. Just ask for the ZX filter for the same model year as your car to keep things simple & you'll be fine.

(several different years will fit, but this will prevent the parts guy from looking at you funny, like you don't really know what the h-e-l-l you actually need).
