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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
