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.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
