Waaaaaah! I've got the magnatec & nissan oil filter but i cant get the sump plug copper washer:(:cry::( There are no nissan dealers near where i live, i know the sump plug is 14 mm so does anybody know how big the washer is and doe's it have to be copper??? many thanks in advance if anyone can answer this:D

take the sump plug to the local plummers

where did you get the filter from ?, i'd also taske a look at the one you already have fitted if u are struggling to get one!

 

they only really need to be changed every 3/4 times

Thanks for fast reply guys! I had the filter off the net but they didnt send a washer with it, So i dont really have to replace the washer then???????????

Iv'e heard it mentioned it's not essential every time but for the price of it and the fact i did'nt know when mine was last changed

 

i' just changed it anyway

 

got 2 free washers last time at nissan when got my filter

 

(so if you get really stuck you can have that one)

 

am sure it's a pretty common washer though so as said plumber would my first call after Nissan:):)

Just take the sump plug to your nearest motorfactors and get them to match one. :)

Nice one,thanks for the offer mate:bow:, i want to drop the oil tomorrow, ive had my zed since september and dont know when it was last done, judging by how dirty the air filters where i'd say its over due;) Thanks again:bow:

Thanks mate,

Im just starting the service side of things now xmas is over! phew! lol, All ive done so far is all four tyres & i had a quad longlife exhast made up for her because she had a single exit jap exhaust and it looked very odd1:) im day off today so its dropping oil time:)

Just clean the plug & washer and then put a smear of instant gasket goo on each side of the washer - good as new ....

Have you tried Luke at ZCentre he has everything.

Hi ck300z,

Just to update you & the rest of the guys who replied ref my sump plug issue. I found out that a local ford dealers ( cem days) are also now nissan dealers:D i gave them a ring and got the washer and i had to go back because the filter i got off the net was wrong one:cry: but, i had great service from the parts guy and now my zed has new oil & i can get parts local:bow::D:bow:..and ref my quad exit longlife system, yep she sounds awesome, a nice v6 rumble but not too loud on the motorway:D

Glad you got it sorted out buddy , I know there's a guy on ebay that sells the nissan filter rarther cheap but only lists fot (tt) as the n/a was never a uk option they are one and the same though off-course;)

 

i plan to get a K&n, or wix filter as they seem to do well in tests etc

 

Sounds like a nice sys you got there de-catted also i take it ??

 

it's on my list for this year:(

Hi Buddy,

I think she still has the cats???:confused: i had a cat back system made by longlife, but i love the sound, i also now have two k&n panel filters fitted but i cant really feel any difference in perfomance:(. I had a k&n 57i induction kit on my old calibra with cold air feed& heat shield & that sounded very nice when you put your foot down:)

Cool !, i had a calibra also only the 2.0 litre 8 valve though! , and on the induction kit front im 100% gonna go for a single apexi cone , but again still dont think it will make much difference noise wise ,The standard air box layout on the Z is rarther restrictive im told so am sure those panels are helping!

 

Have a look at this thread;)
