Fuel Filters

[lwells]

Hi All,

There was quite an interesting dicussion of oil filters in the maintenance section awhile ago.

In a similar vein, I have search for some discussion of fuel filters but drawn a blank. They get mentioned an awful lot, but usually its 'replace your fuel filter'. Soooo, is there anything to choose between the various fuel filters one can buy? Should I just grab the genuine article from Nissan, or will any supercheap yum-cha brand do?

Thoughts and suggestions are welcome

Lucien.

genuine nissan is (always has been) the go for me.

I wouldn't bother with aftermarket ones in this case. unless of course you had a 10000hp fuel pump and 1000cc injectors and the stock filter was a restriction.

i bought a replacement from coventrys

just took the old one in with me and they matched it

and i did the same with the oil filter

As mmmgtir mentioned the OEM fuel filter is still pretty good & quite efficient.

When I first bought my car I was experiencing a pressure drop of around 2.4+psi, the car had a cheap fuel filter. I had it replaced with a Nissan item. Now, although Im only running just under 200rwkw, Im told theres only a pressure drop of under .8psi.

Basically, you would only want to upgrade to a performance one if you want to decrease the pressure drop across & near the filter. Performance filters normally have a pressure drop of <.3psi & filter down to the 10-30 microns range (not sure what the OEM is rated at).

Do you actually know that -- ie. have you done and/or seen some testing of the OEM Nissans -- or are you just repeating what you have heard?

Interesting. I just spoke to Crows Nest Nissan to try and order the OEM fuel filter. The part number they have comes up as no longer being produced, and there is no updated number attached.

Does anyone have the part number -- one they have actually used, not just ripped from FAST because Crows Nest Nissan is using FAST -- for the R32 GT-R fuel filter ?

The people working there are tards Iwells. They couldn't find stuff for me on more than one occasion that people from the forums can find in 2 seconds.

Unfortunately I don't have FAST installed so I can't help you but yeah don't trust crows nest nissan :

Actually, I have found Troy @ Crows Nest Nissan very helpful in the past. They are obviously busy, but he seems to try and do his best.

Someone must have ordered one lately..... hit me up with the part number

lucien is right they do try to be helpful but I have had the wrong parts from them on more than one occaision. which can be a pain in the a$$.

I just used the Ryco recommended filter - never had a problem with them in many, many years of use (variety of cars).

The OEM R32 GTR fuel filter PN is:

16400-72L00

but this was superceded by PN:

16400-72L05

and that was further superceded by PN:

16400-53J10

i just used a ryco z200(i think thats what it was). just recently upgraded to a z202(i think thats what it was) for z32's. now thats a big mofo fuel filter!! double the size.

[someonestolecc]

Hmm I always get people who aren't helpful seemingly - like I used to be able to get couriered stuff to me, then they changed the guy who works there and he said it's not possible for example.

Anyways sorry to hijack Good luck with the part.

Just for other peoples information OEM fuel filter Part no. 16400-53J10

can be used on the R32 & R33 for either the GTR & GTS-t.

Can that part also be used on a 2001 R34 GTT??

I am due for a service. Any info please?

With the proviso that's it's better to have the VIN of your car (from the Nissan ID plate on the firewall), according to FAST the PN for the fuel filter on your car is:

16400-41B05

Suggests the filter is different to the R32 type.

I will run those past Troy and see what turns up.

someonestolecc: Make sure you ask for Troy. Apparently they do COD; personally I just go and pick it up. Your best to do your research before hand and have part numbers handy as they are obviously not import specialist: they are just willing to help so cut them a little slack

(B1) MR_fanny: I had a look at the Ryco part numbers and its not the same as the GTS-t. They run Z200/201/202 (or something) but the GT-R is listed as completely different. Sorry for not being specific, I CBF'ed finding the Ryco listing

pkblade: Given the Ryco part numbers are different, are you sure about that?

I'm going to be checking out the size difference between the Z200 and Z387.

I've previously ran a Z202 and currently running a Z200 which is much smaller.

[pkblade]

Given the Ryco part numbers are different, are you sure about that?

Im 100% sure.

According to the Ryco listing Cubes provided the 16400-53J10 is the equivalent to the z387, which also, can be used on all RB20's, RB25's (no mention of the Neo), & RB26's.

im happy with the size of my z202. i think theyre made for turbo'd 300zx's thats why theyre soo big. would also like to know the size diff on the z387's
