Are you guys talking about the filter for the stock air box? Cos thats what Im after. I have currently the apexi one but its old and abused lol

I dont want to fit a pod (K&N) without CAI and a sealed box... so I much rather get a good panel filter... a boxed panel filter does a much better job than an exposed pod.

I saw on nengun they sell em for 36 bucks with further 36 bucks delivery fee... I want to buy in Melbourne something like that for 40 bucks where I pick it up or something.

lol. no one was talking about about a pod.

A good panel filter cannot be had for $40, Nengun have stupid pricing, they exclude all their charges, shipping and tax costs after you get it here it will have cost you around the 100 dollar mark. Retail, K&N filter sell for around $130 and with friends in the right places the best you can get them for is $85.

that's right guys... go K&N panel filter. use the standard airbox, just put in the filter - runs really well, i gained like 3-5 kilwatts because of it. i had a blitz pod filter, stucked heaps of engine heat, was bad and yes, pods filters are illegal but panels ones are not.

be careful as in vic you can only have 1 air induction-related mod, if you got a frontmounted intercooler, but forget about the CAI.

price for a k&n filter will cost you anything from $75-$125.00 - watch out of replicas

im gonna buck the trend and say get another apexi panel. they have better flow and filtration and an added bonus is that you dont have to oil them. oil is illegal in vic and can also f**k around with your afm.

as to buying an apexi locally i wouldn't have a clue. i do know that repco, autobarn and supercheap didnt stock them when i was looking (few months back). try kudos motorsports in the trader section. top bloke and you wont be dissapointed

My point was that a stock paper filter element from nissan like the one your car would have got from the factory will not be a restrcition in anyway for your current power output.

it will clean better than all the aftermarket ones too.

by buying a trust/apexi/k&n etc.. you will not make any more power over the factory paper one which will cost you piss all.

Pardon the ignorance, where can you get the cheapo Nissan genuine paper air filter? (please dont say Nissan dealer lol)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
