Default Nismo Oil Cap Installation

Whats up guys. I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else is as **** as I am. I recieved a Nismo Oil cap as a gift. I unboxed it and put the sticker on the cap. It looks really nice. So i pop my hood to screw it on and its fine, looks good. But the Nismo emblem/logo is a few degrees off center (meaning its angled). So it kinda bugs me. The correct way to do this is to screw the cap on first, then apply the Nismo sticker so you get perfect alignment. Anyway, it's bugging the crap out of me but too late for me, hope it helps you guys out. I'll post a pic later in case you guys wanna see what I'm talking about.

I thought that was obvious.....I am sorry that happened to you though...now what will really get your goat is if you do it the correct way and the dealership changes your oil and really tightens the cap down... it is a few degrees off center lol...that happened to my bud.

thanks for the heads up. I'm so picky and it would bother me as well if it was a bit crooked.

Obviously the oil cap is broken. Send it back for a refund.

only if you got the one that raises you to 1.3 bar. Did you drive your Z in the snow? You'll probably get improved HP if you get some snow stuck in your CAI cause it'll really cool the air off for you.

Actually, in the packaging for the nismo radiator cap it says to apply the sticker only after you put on the cap.

Really? My instructions (little white pamphlet) were all in Japanese. Not a word of English except for NISMO. Thanks for the post man. I'll check out those instructions again.
