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.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
