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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
