Ebay Oil Filler cap and rad cap

Is this a bad idea? The oil filler cap can't really do any harm but I am not sure I should trust the rad cap since it changes pressure levels in the rad.

They are super cheap but they look better than OEM.

Stay away or go for it?

Oh my bad I forgot to add the link.

It's a two pack and comes with an awesome 11hp emblem.

Looks a little different from mine. You sure they are Nismo, not knockoffs?



Nice pieces though.

No they are totally knock offs, that's why I'm skeptical. The real Nismo ones around like $50 and $79 or something.

eh for $22 worth a shot. The real deal nismo caps are a huge ripoff. ur paying for the name. If someone is putting out a cheaper knockoff for the same that's the universe balancing itself out

I had a cap like this on my previous car, but of course not nismo. with heat under the hood the sticker fall off, which leave you only with the cap.

I've had these exact ones on my ride and like em'.
I bought it cause I loved the look of the oil cap more than any of the authentic Nismo stuff.
The low price was just an added bonus.
The spring on the radiator cap is good quality too.

Oh yeah, word of advise
make sure the caps are screwed in, THEN put the stickers on them.
crooked stickers are FTL.

I bought my Nismo caps from Japan so I'm sure they're authentic, but these knock-offs look better....my concern would be the radiator cap holding the correct pressure. You don't need over heating issues.... Buy the real thing, the extra cost is worth not having to worry about quality!

Go for it, rock them for a month or so, and report back on how you like them.

We love a guinea pig and I have to have something else you get to copy haha........

The oil cap looks real good (better than most imo)… get the set and buy a 300ZTT rad cap ($15 from dealer), put your nismo sticker on it and you’re good to go

Hey....that's cheating! For less $ just use your OEM radiator cap.
