K&N Valve Cover Breather/Filter

Featured Replies

I am trying to find this small filter either through Summit or Amazon. I have searched all the threads back to 2004 and cannot find a part #. Datsun Parts is smart and have placed their sticker over the part number. I know they have to make a profit and all but its a $20 filter max, not $33 + $10 S&H. Its definitely not a 5" breather as the packaging shows, more like 1.5" I would guess. I know many members have these on their Z's and want to do the same on mine so I can ditch the over sized breather on it that looks to be more at home a BBC dragster. Any direction on which one it is will be greatly appreciated.

If you are referring to those small cone-like filters, make sure you get one that will ft a 5/8 inch tube. the ones you see in the auto parts stores only go up to 1/2 inch, and you can't force it on without bending it up. I even tried to order the one I needed, and no auto parts store I tried (Autozone, O'reilly, NAPA) didn't even have it in the catalogs. So it looks like you need to get those through eBay (China.)

If you go to the K&N website, you can find exactly what you're needing.

That item in #5 is "for off road use only." I don't know of many Z cars that are use for field-bombing...

In any case, I like the tapered style filter, for hood clearance purposes. Unfortunately, none of the U.S. manufacturers have the ones we need for the cam box vents. :(
