Im installing an APS Twin Turbo kit and the documentation doesn't mention removing the block heater but there is clearly a clearence issue so im looking for the cap to buy to cap it off. i know american cars dont come with the block heater so what ever they come with is what im looking for. i have looked around and cannot seem to find a part number or anything to remove and cap it off. any help is appreciated. thanks

 

Pictures may help a lot. Not many of us, have dealt with block heaters on a Z

 

Just to the right of the motor mount location. The left side turbo won't clear it so I had to remove it. Surely I can find a plate somewhere if all us z's didn't come with one

 

this should help

wow, thanks man. i didn't even pay enough attention to realize it was threaded inside lol. so M30x1.50 is the correct size for the plug then

 

Ill be honest, not 100% sure on that since ive never had to mess with it but that sounds like what is available so its worth a shot to buy and try.

 

Awesome bud, i appreciate it

 

Turns out it's a finer thread, I bought a 1.5 thread and its finer then that

 

must be nissans way of sticking it to ya.

Can you call the dealership?

 

I tried, they had 0 incite. this is such a wierd problem to be having lol. i have a thread pitch measuring tool coming so soon ill know the thread pitch 100% but even then it appears ordering a 30mm plug with a finer thread then 1.5 seems to be very tough =/ wish me luck lol

 

i bet that is the common nissan 1.25 thread pitch, there are a few locations on the car that use that pitch.

 

The thread pitch is the distance between threads expressed in millimeters (measured along the length of the fastener). For example a thread pitch of 1.5 means that the distance between one thread and the next is 1.5mm. I think that may look like a thread pitch of 30x1 instead of 1.25 or 1.5, hard to tell online.
