so i bought a nismo radiator cap and about a week later my car started over heating like crazy. so i took it to the dealer. turns out the seal in the radiator cap had gone bad and fluid was going up into the cap actually under the label. when it got hot you could actually see the label bubble up. so the dealer not only gave me a new factory cap but ordered me a new nismo. so if you're gonna get a nismo radiator cap, keep an eye on it and keep your receipt!!!

 

there are some knock off radiator caps around. i saw some for sale for $12.00.

 

Just peel the orange sticker off the stock cap. Works fine and looks better than an aftermarket cap.

 

That last one is the one I saw going for $12.00. Nismo packs them pretty elaboratly and the top decal is seperate, so you can apply it facing the right direction.

 

why would you want to replace stock cap for nismo cap? how many hp do you gain ? LOL

 

also the REAL one is about $75!!!! (rip) ans has kind of an octoganal shape with a brushes finish and packages very nice like jewelry hehe

 

i know it's real cause i got it from the dealer. i replaced the factory one cause i took it off one day and the rubber seal stayed on the radiator.

I must have visited the old one a few times each week just to see what new stuff they had and price things out.

Got some money to spend too........

 

that one pictured is the exact one i got at the dealer. it cost me 34 with tax. i'm not saying it's bad i just got a bad one and figured i'd put a warning out to you guys.

 

wow I wont be buying that cap!!

 

Seriously, is there any advantages to this besides dressing up the engine bay

 

More torque.

 

What's the difference between that cap and the regular one besides the sticker? At least the $75 one is billet. I do however believe that anyone that pays $75 for a radiator cap and then puts cheap tires on his car needs a swift kick to the ***.

 

I've had mine over a year. No problems at all.

 

No useful difference. From what I remember, my stock cap looks the exact same but without a nismo logo...
