Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to clean my stock wheels... and to polish... and to put 3 layers of wax. Guess it wouldn't score me any points on a car show.

Good thing I'm not going to a car show. I just drive my Z hard and enjoy it.

Vlad! You're forgetting that this oil cap is much lighter than stock and therefore car goes faster.

Oil caps don't do much, but on a similar subject, changing to an aftermarket radiator cap will actually increase your pressure ratings on the radiator allowing for better performance (of the radiator).

My opinion (like you need it)

1. Oil cap... good
2. Jokes about oil cap by Namagomi and Vlad... better
3. Insulted retorts to joke tellers... priceless.

Seems like every thread ends up in "flame"s these days. I should be driving...

What's the big deal about getting the oil cap prior to getting the rest of the mods?

All of you who's been overly critical should grow up!

Default so?

Whats the big phucking deal?

Seriously.
I think its a marked improvement lookwise over the stock Oil cap.
An you may not think the same...but why be so condescending?

The kid made no claim that the dammned thing improved performance....

Vlad. Your a tool.
Joking or not....your delivery was for schitt.

Originally I was gonna flame Vladd, but really its his choice if he wants to have a total super black car. Its also that guys choice if he wants to have a greddy gas cap. It is a little bit ricey but who cares. The only thing I have a problem about it is that it says "tuned by Greddy". It doesn't matter though, cause in every state (except NJ) you pump your own gas (GO NJ!). So really he is the only person who is going to see it.

Pump your own gas? Wait a sec...it's an oil cap, not a gas cap...unless you've been popping the hood and putting gas in the engine...

I still don't get why Vlad is blasting the poor guy. There is nothing wrong about sprucing up an engine bay a little...it's not like he went crazy and put chrome bits and colored hoses everywhere with a mirror on the underside of the hood for good measure...are you saying that people who put Nismo oil and radiator caps on their Zs are ricers? Greddy is one of the top, if not the best, all-round tuners for Japanese sports cars and since he plans on getting a Greddy turbo kit anyhow...where's the harm?

I guess some people really think their tastes and style are the creme de le creme(sp?) and all others must follow suit...

oil cap, that means its most likely to be seen even less, the reason it is rice is because it says "tuned by greddy" nothing on his car is tuned by greddy.

Hey, it seems like everybody think that I'm a mean guy... C'mon, it's not true! I'm nice and kind and love anymals!

It's just when I see "Tuned by GReddy" on totally stock car, I can't help it. And if somebody posts a post here, I take it he expect an peoples opinion. So I say mine. What's wrong with that? I didn't see any rules that all opinions should be positive only.

Eeeeewwww!! Do you 'love' animals? Or do you 'LOVE' animals?

Just playin', you set yourself up there...I agree opinions do not have to be all positive or all negative, but you gotta start small and work your way up. First what is available from Greddy: stickers, oil cap, gauges...then the bigger stuff as it comes out:exhaust, turbo kit, intercooler, emanage system w/ new profec controller...you know what I be sayin'?

You guys need to lighten up!

A billet cap looks better than a piece of black plastic. The fact that it says "Tuned by Greddy" means nothing to anyone who just looks at his car.....you can't see it until the hood is opened, and by then, you can probably tell if there are any Greddy upgrades.

Do I have to get the Nismo body kit before I can buy a Nismo key chain?

I would say "yes".
Otherwise, why don't just skip all the small stuff and just get Ferrari keychain?

I guess if Vlad wears a Michigan or Michigan State ball cap he is a tool. Trying to make people think he is on the football/baseball/golf/tennis/table tennis, etc. team.

OR maybe he just LIKES a particular team and THAT'S why he bought the cap!
