WhackyWill Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Very cheap copies from China. Would not trust them on my Zed..!! :scare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 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. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
