Found Sweet Oil Filters, Double Pleat But High Flow And Decent Filtering.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys finally a killer filter at a good price. I ve been a fan of SARD and KN filters for a long time but they are not always easy to come by and the KN ones still have some short comings. I dont want this to sound like an ad but i know these have been a long time coming and are the product of over 12 months of R&D and testing. They are pressure tested further than any other filter and feature double pleating to filter better and also have an internal magnet to hold any nasties.

These Filters have several advantages over any other filter on the market and look killer too (not that that is important). There is an application list and these things can be bought from any AUTOBARN store (i have also just signed them on to be the sole supplier to my new workshop, i am that impressed).

Hey i went into autobarn in a victorian store the other day asking for these, do you have a part number or specific autobarn that you can buy these from because the bloke i spoke to didn't now anything about them and neither did any of the other guys. Also they had never heard of them at the repco i went to either. Do you know when/if they are planning to release them at all stores? I'm expecting it to be up to the idividual stores if thet choose to carry this line of filters.

Cheers

Can't help with the specific stores but the very first post had two pictures with what looks like part numbers. Are RB26's skyline the Z145A? (I know its a number like that but can't quite remember).

Cheers found one at sunshine autobarn the other day. The part numbers for these filters are the same as your normal part number that you would usually buy. Z145A would fit on GTR.

Ok quick question, what are the shortcomings of the K&N filter, and are they still better than a standard filter? Whats so much better about these ones.

I don't have the data at hand ATM (can't find link) but I saw a back-to-back test awhile back that actually rated the std Nissan filter at #2 out of a whole shiteload of filters & way above a lot of the big "name" brands. I don't remember what was #1 but I do remember whoever made FRAM filters also made several more (same filter re-branded) & it was CRAP. I'll try & find the info & post it up.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
