Throttle body fingerprint?
Installing my intake today I noticed something in one of the pictures that I didnt see with the naked eye. It appears to me that there is a fingerprint/thumbprint on the butterfly valve on the drivers side throttle body. After reading all of the information about how precise and clean the Japanese are with manufacturing the engines, I am begining to wonder if I need to report someone...
 So do I need to call the local CSI and Nissan American?  All kidding aside, it is interesting to me. Do you think it is a fingerprint? I do.

You just don't want to use the filters without oil.. aka cleaning them and not re-oiling them. You're good to go out of the box.. they wouldn't be red if they didn't have oil, the filters would be a gray color. |

They should already be oiled. I know mine where. You could see it in the bags they where in. Plus the little residue I could feel with my fingers. But the usually do from the manafacture.

Wow, you guys are quick! Damn I was just joking. Hence the little "winky" emoticon. I find humor in way too many things. Guess I should be careful for those that dont wrench on cars...

Yep Pre-Oiled. As for the apperent finger print, think of it as a signature LOL, like they do on AMG cars.
