[Warning] Dumb question inside
So I'm interested in adding a little under the hood "bling" for shows in the form of a nismo radiator cap and oil filler cap.
I'm assuming these are just normal unscrew and "there you go" sort of installations right? No chance of harming the car unless I do something retarded like open the radiator cap with the engine hot or crossthread the oil filler cap...right?

There was a bunch of hooha on the 350z site about "high pressure rad caps" being bad for NA engines or non-tuned engines or some such nonsense. Any truth to it?
I feel like that's just horsesh*t but that's just me...

Also is there any difference between the $95 NISMO oil filler cap and the knockoff that looks just f'ing like it that sells for $25?
Also thinking that this is a "no" but just wanted to make sure.

Just like the people who buy 100 dollar Monster branded cables when the 5 dollar cable from Newegg or Amazon is exactly the same. Don't get me started on the Beats headphones now... lol
