I want to get those fake replica nismo aluminium oil filler caps from eBay but I’m a bit weary on them. Do you think they can hold up to the oil pressure from engine? I mean if oil pressure gets high enough wouldn’t it start leaking or even worse, blow straight off? There’s also the problem of threading when putting it on and off.

its just purely for asesthic reasons why I want one but I’d like to hear some thoughts and opinions on them

thanks

And considering that the original cap is plastic...……..well how much pressure do you think plastic would take in comparison to alloy?

I've got a half piston type anodised blue one with Tomei on it, and its harder to undo than the factory one cos there is no grip on it.  Sometimes I have to use a screwdriver in the fake gudgeon pin hole to start it.  I always tell myself that one day I will dig the factory cap out and use it, but I never seem to....maybe its the bling?

    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
