Stocking Instead Of Panel Filter?

hey guys, i was wanting to experiment with making a frame the same size as a panel filter and covering it with a nylon stocking for my airbox. (which has a CAI pipe)

do you think i would get dust particles flowing through? would the stocking be tough enough to withstand the intake pressure? would it seem like a safe idea?

your thoughts.. :banana:

I had a datto 180B when i was 16 and it had piece of cloth over the top of the carbie it went hard for a week or two, I think all the oil that was coming out the side of the block was the problem........ I would never do this on my skyline, how much does an air filter cost???

Try stretching it over the box then putting the lid on, I can't see any reason for building a frame.

I've no idea how effective the stocking would be, I suppose it's all down to the thread count or microns or however they rate the stuff.

i personally dont think it will provide enough filtration...look at how dense all other filters are compared to a stocking

well that's what i'm scared of, and i don't want to try it incase i cause damage.

i got the whole idea from a vlt owner, which was saying alot of people wrap the end of their fullhektik "dose" pipes with it to catch dust.

has anyone had any similar experience with this?

that alone should tell you that it's a bad idea

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
