I was planning on buying it but if it doesn't fit it would be pointless, like the Nismo key. I'll have to check back and see what people are saying...

I have it on my car and had to dremel the edges of the stock gas cap and use epoxy to get it to work , it looks perfect..

Yea it does look pretty..When you attach the Nismo cap to the stock gas cap, does it pass the wire that is connected to the stock gas cap or does it just go on to the point right before it?Thanks!

This quote is directly from Perf. Nissan Parts in Duarte....They say it's difficult to install ...Thats why I didn't buy one.


CAUTION! - This cap does NOT fit well on the G35 / 350Z. It can be installed, it is not an easy install and requires EPOXY to stay on. We do not recomend this for 350Z / G35 owner unless they want to get their hands dirty.
