Very cheap copies from China.

 

Would not trust them on my Zed..!! :scare:

Can't see why the oil cap wouldn't be fit for purpose as it isn't pressurised. The rad cap though I would be more wary of.

That's fine until you strip the aluminium threads on the oil cap and you cannot get it off..!!! :scare:

[Adrian@TORQEN]

These are probably the real prices Nissan is buying them for and ads 4827728373% profit margins for the brand.

 

Just buy and fit them, they will be fine.

Nice though,..

 

Get the £20 one its well made, think a few people on here are running with them.

[chirag1988]

I think I'll go for the £20 one for now lol. First things first lets see how thirsty my Z is...I'm almost at the end of my first tank and I'm expecting to have to fill up by end of the weekend or by NYE depending on where I decide to go...

I ain't gonna lie that looks brilliant! But at this moment I think I'm leaning more towards the eyelids now as they're going to be more visible from an exterior point of view

[Easty]

Iv got then on mine aswell :-)

I think they look really good too!!!!

[GMballistic]

Nice engine bay Easty.

[350 Russ]

I would have no problems buying and using the oil cap as it's the low pressure side of the oil system and there's no way aluminium threads will be stripped by the plastic It screws into. I personally wouldn't use the rad cap as that needs to hold pressure

[Easty]

Nice engine bay Easty.

 

Thanks pal :-D

There's still a few bits I need to do / get for it like I want a new thicker shiny strut brace, need to paint up a few caps ect

But it's all getting there slowly lol

 

[ZEUS]

Well I've just ordered the Chinese oil filler cap, interested to see it, I'll let you know if my car explodes in a fire ball after fitting it!
