well they might flow better and filter good, but for how long, what is the longevity of the filter life. u mite only get a 3rd of the life from one and u will have to change it 3 times as often. a mate had one of these on his 200sx, but not sure how it went.

im sure this is the filter though.

I've actually been running one of these for a few months...personally didn't notice any difference over the previous K & N

I must admit I never even noticed it had 3A Racing on it :P

ha ha fair enough.

in the end of the day i dont think the difference is going to be that big it will give u major hp gains.

i am look for a replacement filter for my k&n atm, but not sure what to get, as i already have the adapter for the k&n i was thinking of getting another one to fit the adapter as it is a really wide mouth adapter, but i got told they are expensive to buy.

I've had 2 on my RB26 for over 2 years now, they filter very well (have had an oil analysis done which supports this) and are well made - very similar to previous K&N filters that I have owned. Better filtration and flow than Apexi and 1/3rd the price - how can you go wrong!? :happy:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
