R33Gtr Fuel Filter On Gtst?

[Ty1]

hey guys, recently I picked up a genuine nissan r33 thermostat and fuel filter. the items were advertised as fitting an r33 gtst but when they arrived in the mail i realised that they're for a gtr. the thermostat is exactly the same for a gtst and gtr so I can use that but the fuel filter i'm not so sure about as it has that little bend in the top line and is a bit bigger. is it safe to use on a gtst? any reason why I shouldn't hook it up? any advice appreciated

id say send it back and get the proper kit.

If you ordered GTST then get GTST.

Id say anybody on here can only speculate on whether it will be ok or not to actually use the GTR one.

Incidentally what number does the face of the thermostat have etched in it? (the thermostat crack temperature)

Bigger question is why would you bother with a nissan fuel filter?

You can use Z32 fuel filters too, slightly bigger which is an advantage IMO.

the only real difference between fuel filters is the size of the bodies and the shape, angle and size of the lines, and any possible fittings on the end of the lines. as long as you can get the fuel lines onto the filter then there will be no issue using it. it's not like they are a performance item. the filter used on the GTR is the same as used on the SSS pulsar, and the gts-t one is the same as what's used on a 1.0L micra.

thanks mad082... exactly what I wanted to know! normally I'd go ryco filters but saw a genuine Nissan thermostat and fuel filter package off ebay for $35 and couldn't pass it up. The thermostat has 76.5 etched on it. will let u know how the fitting goes. Thanks guys
