Am i right in thinking that there is only one plenum gasket under it in the middle and rubber re usable gaskets for the cam covers as i want to take it all apart and give it a fresh coat of paint.

TIA Mark

oh and my oil cap is leaking, is there any special o ring i need to use?

The exhaust cam covers, require sealant as there is no factory gasket, the intake cam covers have rubber gaskets, but still worth using a it of sealant, depending on condition

This post should help http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146108

 

There is only one gasket for the upper plenum available through MJP forum trader,cheap at the minute, so i would get in there quick, you could ask about the oil cap O ring too.

Thats the thread that made me think about it. I also forgot that its 4 cam covers instead o2 2 big ones.

cheers guys

Sorry to bump this thread again, but is the nissan oil filter worth buying. Ive found threads with people saying the k&n one are just as good if not better.

Is there really that much difference?

i've got the k&n one, cost me about 8 quid i think, whether it's better or not i don't know, but it does have a 19mm (i think) nut on the end which makes fitting and especially removing easier...

yeah ive seen it on ebay, its cheeap enough to compare to the nissan part

it did seem of very good quality i have to admit, whether there are any benefits i don't know, but k&n bull it up saying funky things...

Im going to get a k&n one, ive had troubles with getting filters off before and that nut on the end has sold it for me :D

how does a nut on the end make any difference? Run it up my hand and to remove, stab a screwdriver through it.

 

Oem for me. Costs about the same as the K&N.....from my local nissan anyway!

Thats probably the reason ill go for the K&N one, the nuts fixed as far as i can see. I hate stabbing oil filters. Always messy :D

I hate stabbing them too, even if there is loads of room (which there isn't really on a Zed) it's messy and I always worry i could damage the thread on the oil tree, last resort for me that...
