Does anyone know anywhere in Melb, pref northern suburbs that might have stock of K&N HP-2008 Oil Filters? I know none of the autobarns have any, i've got some on order through one but they always have to do special orders and get them in from the states, and it takes ages. Just wanted do a service while I am off work.

BTW, using K&N ones is just personal preference, i'm not going to use different ones :glare:

The brilliance of the K&N is the 1" head on the end of the filter to remove the filter using a socket set :(

hmm didn't realise that you could get the K&N oil filters easily here. I have seen some ok reviews regarding flow and filter ability form them, funny enough the stock jap ones got better results. Go OEM.

I will have to find it somewhere...saw it like 6 months ago. Probably from the BITOG forum...oil forum I'm a member of. From memory it was better than Ryco for both pressure and flow - which by the way, isn't hard cos Ryco always finish at the bottom.

I do know that K&N filters are made buy Champion Labs, who make M1 and other decent deisgns. Generally the K&N oil filters have good flow and not as good filtering.

Anyway filters are so varied and different depending on what factory made them. I have a Aussie Nissan filters in from of me now but may vary form my Jap version - and it seems to in a numbe rof ways see the link below:

I found this in my favourites about OEM Nissan filters

I think I remember seeing the comparisons you mentioned, just remember something about the k&n's being the highest flow but not best filtering. I change my oil every 3000k's so I figured i'd go for flow over filtering....i dunno it all just seems to ring a bell...

Sorry Kyle....did I use your last one? :wave:

yes :)

Try Epping Autobarn. If Antonio or Jim can't get it overnight then it can't be got it seems.....

thats where I've had 2 on order for like a month :huh:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
