A secure rear main oil seal depends on a sound retainer. The genuine Nissan Rear Main Oil Seal Retainer (part number 12297-F6500) is the factory housing that holds the rear crankshaft oil seal on the Fairlady Z / 300ZX Z32, providing the correct mounting surface and alignment for reliable sealing at the back of the engine.
This OEM retainer is used when the original housing is damaged, warped, or showing signs of leakage around the seal area. Replacing a compromised retainer helps ensure the new rear main seal seats properly and maintains oil containment under normal operating conditions. Because it is a genuine Nissan component, it matches the original dimensions and bolt pattern for a correct fit on the Z32 VG30 engine.
Whether you are addressing a rear main seal leak, performing bottom-end work, or rebuilding the engine, this retainer is an important supporting part for a lasting repair. At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply this genuine Nissan Rear Main Oil Seal Retainer for Z32 owners who prefer authentic OEM components. Choose Terra Firma Automotive for correct-fit Nissan engine parts that support reliable oil sealing on the Fairlady Z and 300ZX.
