Color looks amazing. Where did you buy it? Any primer? Top coat?

^ if you're on a budget VHT copper aerosol spray looks a lot like that (not sure if that's what that is). Oh yeah, this is cool, so someone buy this from me.

Quick up date. Just waiting for my -10 an fittings to come in!

Sr goes in tonight

mantas · 08-01-2013, 03:42 PM

Instacrap pic so it's a bit "enhanced" LOL but looks alright for what it is.

And this is what it looked like when i picked it up from the powder coating shop.

Alright, at least someone said what I was thinking.

Matej · 08-01-2013, 10:59 PM

Also, both of the Nismo oil caps on the last two motors posted are fake. You gentlemen are risking the structural integrity of your vehicles.

True story:

I ran one back in the day on my 180SX in Okinawa:

After a few months, one night my oil light came on while drag racing... Popped hood- that very same Ebay knockoff cap that you guys have on there was gone! Luckily, for some stupid reason I still happened to have the OEM oil cap in my trunk... Found it the next day wedged between my motor mount, turbine and engine block... Never used it again.

jerry_beans · 08-03-2013, 03:06 PM

The only reason I stl have it is because it came with it. Defiantly gonna buy a new oil cap!

Michaelwinne · 08-03-2013, 03:32 PM

Wow I've never seen so much fuss over an oil cap. Mine fits fine and is hard as hell to get off lol

It was a joke, silly.
That being said, I purchased one of these authentic Nismo caps, only to find out it is just a billet cover stuck on top of the regular Nissan cap. What a ripoff.

Wish I had seen this picture before purchasing it.

mantas · 08-03-2013, 10:10 PM

Enough about oil caps! Or else ill start to talk about gas caps. Lol.

1. Authentic Nismo means OEM Nissan-based product... which means OEM quality cap- Even if just a billet cover. BTW If you ever buy a Nismo gas cap (since this may end up in a gas cap conversation lmao)- you get ONLY the cover, not the cap

2. Unlike run-of-mill SR/RB oil caps, it ratchets- keeps from overtightening and ruining seal(s).

3. Looks awesome on a clean motor:

becausenismo

@Michaelwinn: You sir, will find reason to fuss over an oil cap the day you pop the hood and realize the cap came off... I sincerely hope this never happens to you... but at the same time, this little excursion off-topic is a great illustration of why there are certain, very important things that one should not skimp on.

Michaelwinne · 08-05-2013, 07:21 AM

Maybe I'm a little confused, but other than the potential of a little oil mess, what would be the big deal of it coming off? Like obviously you would need a new cap, which everyone should keep the stock one I would imagine, but it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal lol but mines nice and tight.

This was my favorite looking oil cap too bad i cant run it. These are not easy to come by or cheap.
