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.

care to share the reviews i use the K&N oil filter as well i wana see how it is..

btw i get mine from fawkner they normally have em

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:

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
