I've never had a problem with K&N filters, and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than the jap brands and come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes.

I've currently got an M's stamped k&n very large cone shaped pod on my 32. It's goodcos you can now get the cleaner and oil from pretty much any parts place.

Last I checked the smaller pods started at 140 or so and price increased with size.

Dont laugh but ive got a simota pod on atm, havent had any probs with it and have tried others on the dyno with no variation whatso ever. And the Simota one sounds good as well, can use the K&N cleaning kit to clean it

i got a k&n pod on mine and it sounds good. I got no air feed to it though so i guess it isnt really an advantage at the moment. But the pod is clogged with dirt n stuff, even after 5 mins of blowing it out with an air blower its still dirty as hell. oh well gives others a fairer race

Yo sweetr33.Man,never use compressed air on k&n filters or any other brand for that matter.You will damage the fine cotton gauze and be up for a new one.Much cheaper to use the cleaning kit in the end which costs around $30

I'm not a fan of oiled pods at all. Mainly, because I've heard they can foul the AFM. Also, from what I can gather, don't filter that much better than your standard dry mushroom pods.

I use a Trust Airinx and damn does it sound sweet :) I've got no idea on how well it filters, as I've now heard (after I bought it) that it is the best filter on the market, and also the worst filter on the market. I haven't had any major engine problems so I suppose you can assume it at least filters out the big stuff.

MIC33r, how much does the POD you have cost. The only query that i have is that i was goin to use the existing Blitz mounting bracket. The measurements now are 150mm flange size with an overall length of 150mm. It makes it difficult to buy a replacement pod.

Oh well gota keep searching

I bought it a while back from Takakaira, so I wouldn't know the current price. It was fairly cheap though and came with all the mounting stuff you needed.

They used it in the Evolution R 200SX. I found a copy of an article about it on the net, but it has disappeared. Here's a google cache of it though:

I got a filter from this place in sydney for about $40, it is identical to my mates Trust AirInex II which cos a few hundred $$$

have yet to use it but its identical besides the trust sticker on the screw down part

do you know how good these filters sound? ppl ask my mate what bov he has, and its just a factory plumb back, but it must blow back through the filter cos it sounds damn awesome and the flow noise it makes must indicate that it isn't restricting it much

go the trust or the rip off one i got

Took my factory turbo off on the weekend, and for a turbo with 155,000 kms on it, its in great condition. Very little shaft play (whats considered normal???) but the leading edge of the compressor has slowly been eroded. Im guessing crappy filter to be the cause.

I have known for a long while my HKS filter doesnt really filter all that well, you can tell by all the particles that find a home inside the bellmouth. Anyway im trialling an Apexi filter until i can find time and money to go by the biggest K & N that will fit under the bonnet.... that is of course unless someone wants to swap me their Ms filter.

Hi Guys, we use Pipercross filters exclusively in all our road and race cars, they are superb.

As used in WRC, Supertouring, V8 Supercars, LeMans etc etc

Who sells them and how much are they for the 76mm neck version?

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
