Default NISMO oil cap installation

Okay, I know how to install it, but it seems I can't get the NISMO logo to be straight left to right, its always sideways no matter how I put it in.

Anyone else with the Nismo Oil cap, is your Nismo logo straight left to right?

Here is the link of the oil cap I am using.

When I bought mine the sticker was off the cap. I had to install the cap first, and then put the sticker on to make sure the NISMO logo would be straight.

Haha, sucka. I was the one that sold it to you. I didn't even think about it when I put the sticker on before installing it. I gave it to you for half the new price though so no complaining . As you can see, I got a new one:



I was too lazy to pull it off and put some new glue on it.

Gloating about giving someone the shaft - Not good. Especially on these forums. You know payback time will come. Not today - But?

You can't just take the sticker off, put some glue on it, and stick it back on?

king tut, that's messed up. we'll keep an eye on you.

my friend put the sticker on wrong the first time and was able to get it off and put it on the right way...he used like a safety pin or a needle to tease it off

Yeah I just checked, its on there no coming off.

Its BS the way people sell things and scam. I guess the word Buyer Beware means something. Thats okay he will never be able to sell anything here again without me adding my .02.

Had he told me the flaw I would have never purchased it. His exact words, he never used it! What a SCAMMER!

King Tut, you can do one thing and that is BUY your oil cap back,

You paypal me the $25 and I will send it back to you, and I will put it on this site that you paid me back my $.

My paypal is my350z@adelphia.net I will need your address to ship it too as well. If not I will report this thread to the moderators, my CC company, and paypal as well.

Folks it not the $, its the principle! I will get my $ one or the other, lets hope KingTut does the right thing here.

its a sticker man...is it really that big a deal? I know it stinks that it's uneven, but let's put things in perspective..... Take a hairdryer, heat it up (watch your fingers, the oil cap will get HOT), and peel. It should be able to restick without much issue if you are careful taking it off, or NISMO sells a million and one different size stickers as well.

Thats not the point. Like I said, had he told me that I WOULD NOT have purchased it. Plain and simple!

Yes its a big deal, I have a $40K sportscar. I am just that, PICKY!

So where is this sticker sold at? Links? Only stickers I found were here, and its $17.95.

Z1, you even sold me a product that had flaws, remember? You gave me my $ back, no questions asked.

NISMO sells all their stickers individually too...not sure if Performance Nissan sells them, but they are offered in Japan.

I know what you mean about it not being even and it being a nuisance, but its not like the cap is damaged in any way...this should be something you should be able to take care of very easily and still come ahead vs buying a new one.
