Hi guys,

i got a completly stock r34 n/a...i was looking at a replacment filter, few questions:

1) can i still do a CAI with a panel filter?

2) is it worth buying this if my car is 100 percent stock?

3) can anyone vouch for this filter?

Cheers.

You can do a CAI using the stock air box. isnt really worth it tho.

No idea about the filter from justjap,

But I can definetly recommend getting an apexi panel filter. One of the best on the market in the amount of air that goes through and the filtering performance.

Was the first mod I done to my NA and I noticed a difference, especially in the top end, more air getting to the engine.

thanks for that. how much was the apexi panel filter and where did you buy from?

also, did you need to get a tune due to the air/fuel ratio changing?

where else but ebay.

A little more than the blitz tho.

Nah, no tune required. the stock ecu can handle a few mild mods befroe needing to go a copgy back.

Looks good, but if you include shipping its almost twice the price than the Blitz...i know Blitz is a well known/good brand, so i thihnk ill stick with that...unless somone tells me there craphola lol

I had good results with the K&N Panel. Easy to source one too.

R34's aren't too bad for getting air into the air intake with the snorkel. Cold air feed will always help with getting coldest possible air to the engine. Remembering with an N/A the aim is to remove the restrictions as much as possible (doing so with the filter) and then cooling the air with the cold air feed to make the extra power.

I never set up an additional cold air feed, though if the cooler night air performance was anything to compare to, it would be well worth it!

You could run a cold air feed from behind the front bar up into the cold air box, use something like a flexible tube. That way you'll get cold air into the air box and still have the heat resistant properties of the factory airbox.

You'll have to go beyond CAI, Extractors, Cat-Back before you'll need a copgy back. The R34 relearns quite well. If anything, just reset the ECU afterwards by disconnected Neg terminal on the battery, put foot on brake for 10 seconds, reconnect, then let the ECU relearn your driving style.

thanks, that helped a lot, could you give me a part number or name of your k&n filter? also, how much did you pay?

Hey mate no probs, happy to help :cool: I can't remember the part no, I went to a shielded Apexi Pod filter when I done the conversion and the R34 GT airbox wouldn't have worked out. It should be on K&N's web site? I think I paid around $70-80 for it? was retail price put it that way, I just took out the compliance filter pretty much straight away lol

K&N Products will suggest you oil the filter up.

That's just so the oil will catch smaller particles from going into your air intake.

You don't have to oil it up, but a light spray (Do Not Soak It) on the filter won't hurt either.

K&N, APex'i, Blitz ect will be good upgrade for your air filter.

+ you might as well find a decent 2.25" / 2.5" full exhaust + extractors and a high flow cat to help out the car.

The Blitz Panels are FAR superior to Apexi IMHO

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
