Fuel Filter upgrade

[drifterx]

what si the fuel filter upgrade for the S13?
the direct fit off the 300zx? which years?

[cheater240]

I can't see why a fuel filter upgrade would be neccessary.  Have you seen low fuel pressures on a modified engine?

We all use the twin turbo 300ZX fuel filter...1990 and up

[Jeff240sx]

Listen to Dragon.  The Nissan fuel filters for s13s and s14s are the same number, as are the 1992 (for sure, dunno about '90) to 1996 300zx.

What's funny is the TT 300ZX fuel filter is 2 bucks cheaper than the one for the 240sx's at the local Auto Zone.

[drifterx]

hahha i went to autozone and they were the same price for 240sx and 300zx TT.... i got it... it fits in the 240sx... although the stock one is smalller, the bigger filter from the 300zx actuallly fits inside the holder....

[dragon240sx]

Yep yep, I had no problem installing mine either...it popped right into place.  All my friends say it looks more like an oil filter instead of a fuel filter, lol. That 300ZX filter is HUGE compared to the 240sx stock one.

the only problem was pulling off the old one... so what i did is i lubed the new one before i put on the hoses

How difficult is it to change the fuel filter on our 240's?  I would like to change mine, but not sure if me and the bf can do it ourselves?  About how much do they cost?

[drifterx]

fuel filters are cheap... i think mine was like $10 or so... no more than $15
they just pull out 2 hoses and pop in the new one... just make sure u ahve the "in" and the "out" on the filter correct with the hoses....

Thanks for the info drifter! &nbsp;You always make things sound so simple! &nbsp;hehe <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[drifterx]

it is simple.... it is just too #### hard to pull the rubber hoses off the old one... but i bet u can do it... cuz my filter is mad old cuz i got it with the car so who knows how long it has been there....
it is like unplug 2 things and stick new one in,... easier than changing oil

[cheater240]

Make sure you pull the fuel pump fuse and then start the car to let the pressure bleed off first!

GAS IN THE EYES? WTF?
GAS smells good.... i think i can get turned on by it... just kidding

[misnomer]

Pardon me for being a dumbass, but what sort of gains do you see with a better fuel filter?

[West]

You would get no gains from putting on a 300ZX fuel filter. The 240SX one is fine, but I run the 300ZX one because its cheaper and bigger so it will last longer.

[drifterx]

hahh not hp gain but i can say i have a 300ZX TT part
lol
