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)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
