ok sounds good. i like the idea of the apexi ones because they are paper. any idea where i can get one and what i should expect to pay? can they be cleaned?

Where about's are you from?

You might want to try you local performance parts store / Tuning garages...

Nengun want $56+

- http://www.nengun.com/apexi/power-intake-panel-filter

And that is AUS $.

I'd say no more than $100 AUS at your local shops.

Yes it can be cleaned.

You can clean the filter with the K&N Cleaner Kit.

Apply the cleaning solution to the filter and let it soak for 10mins.

Hose of with tap water and let it sit and dry in the sun.

You might even want to flick the filter to get rid of some excess water to speed up drying time.

K&N Cleaner Kit also give you an oil spray, no need to use it, but if you do, just a light spray only to catch excess particles.

i have been avoiding the oil filters. I spoke to a guy at autobarn (while trying to find their apexi prices) and he suggested their B<C filter. he sadi they dont stock K&Ns for the nissans due the hot wire but the BMC uses tighter fibers and therefore needs much less oil and can be used with an air flow meter setup safely. what is the general opinion here? was he talking crap or are these infact a solid choice? I can get one through them for $95 which makes it the most cost effective one so far but I dont want it to cause any problems with my air flow meter

Hah!

What the fuck is a B<C filter..?

I would spend the time to look for an APex'i or K&N one.

You DON'T have to use the oil spray, you can leave the filter dry as what most if not all ppl do on SAU.

K&N recommend it but you don't have to spray it.

What a f#*ken joke! I ordered the airbox from ebay.... Payed for it.... Waited 2 n a half weeks for it.... Never came....

Ended up canceling the order coz they said 'the courier must of lost it and now they're out of stock'

Will now just go back to my original plan of making my own.....

Yeah just make your own, it aint too hard. Mine was a first ever attempt at making something like this and turned out pretty good for pretty cheap.

sorry to jump off topic but are the 26 cam covers a straight fit? The car is still looking good mate.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
