HKS, 02RUSH or K&N filters?

People tend to forget the first role of the air filter. It's is to FILTER air. Some of the higher flowing ones don't filter out as much dirt in the air, but give high HP readings. Restrictive ones don't give as much HP.

There's no need to spend big bucks on air filters because they give only a few KW's of difference, which you won't feel!!! Who can tell the difference if their car has 0.8kw more?

From experience, the HKS flow good, but it lets too much dirt get inside. Plus the filter paper is not re-usable. The Blitz filters are expensive and also let in a far amount of dirt. The best one I've used so far is K&N, but just be careful not to use too much oil when re-washing it. Don't know much about the rush ones though.

pretty self explanitory..

whats better ..

in airflow, noise, durability...:P

Why not mention Apexi ??

That's what I'm using and its a perfect mixture of all the above.

The airflow is just below HKS (but better than the other two), noise is super sweet and top durability.

:burnout:

- Apex'i are a piece of crap

That's all i know :D

Get the facts first :P

Apex'i are behind only to HKS and maybe Trust. :)

They are better than K&N in performance.

The sound they produce is stunning :P just listen to my car!!

Well I was looking at the Blitz filter, but after reading that test i'm gunna look into the A'pexi one. That test seemed pretty straight forward and the results speak for themselves. It's not ALL about performance...well ok it is mostly, but I still want a pod FILTER...not bit of plastic letting all bits of crap into my turbo and motor and everything else.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
