Gday crew the time has come for me to wash my filters i have 2 HKS washable pods that are filthy!

Just wondering who else is running them, what you do to clean them and what oil you put on them to keep em sticky?

also is there a down side to these filters like sucking air filter oil into my intake?

Cheers crew you know how it goes any info is appreciated

Cheers

Dion

HKS are one of the best filters around.

I got 2 of them and I use the K&N air filter cleaner kit.

Let it soak for about 10mins then rinse under tap and let it air dry.

Apply a light coat of filter oil and re-insert the filters back on.

Lmfao is that a joke? I got a $40 3A racing pod filter which was proven to have best filtration and flow even above the Apexi. HKS came dead last in filtration. Uselss filter, throw it out.

Razzaamatazz pantyhose is the best filter around. Provides good filtration with mimimal restriction and can double as a condom if you suddently run out.

Find em in the safeway isle for other feminne hygiene products.

LOL! Kris

I had a 3A racing pod, the glue melted off and the filter fell off.

The HKS ones are doing me fine.

yeah dont know if ya supposed to bolt it straight to ya turbo! just kidding.

yeah i read that review ages ago in autosalon and it supprised the hell out of me. i only have the hks ones because they were on me car when i bought it.

pretty sure i am just goin with the stock box with a good panel filter apexi or alike.

any objections?

The HKS Piping looks the greatest - absolutely s*xy!

About 3 reports now, all agree that the HKS sponge filters themselves rate quite poorly for both

i) flow and

ii) filtering efficiency.

Further reports say that if you have AFMs, use a dry filter eg APEXi

If you don't use AFMs (eg whilst running a HKS F-Con Pro-V ECU), you can use a wet filter eg K&N

I use Simota Sponge filters on my HKS Intakes and throw them out, once they get dirty. Discarded my HKS ones.

Same, my HKS filters came with the car and been cleaning them ever since.

Pods or standard air box. Doesn't really matter if your car is lightly modded, I say.

If you put the stock box back on, I would just upgrade the filter inside to a high flow one for a peace of mind, but I think the standard filter is still just as good... Up to you...

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
