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.

my mate bought his for his evo 7. retail was about 90 or so, i think they were tyring to clear em out

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)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
