i bought a new foam for mine and will wash the old one if i can be bothered....

i have heard warm soapy water or kerosene does the job, and not to use harsher chemicals...and u must remember to re-oil it using correct oil, but be very careful not to over oil it as it can ruin the internals of you AFM, which will have adverse effect on how your car runs...

if you do a search you will find more detailed answers.

well u oil the foam after you wash and dry it thoroughly....as i said if u oil it too much you will have problems....

if u arent feeling too confident with this process, you can always buy an new foam which is already oiled for you....it is around 60 bucks so not too bad, and you can rest assure your AFM wont be drowning in oil..:)

1. U can clean it dish detergent or something similar. Gets all the grease off etc.

2. Use K&N Filter oil or anyother branded filter oil, spray a very light mist over the filter nothing to crazy very light, thats how foam filters come from the factory very lightly oiled which u may sometimes notice. My 2 Cents.

I just bought some oil filter cleaner from autobarn, it looks and smells exacly like detergent so i probably got ripped off. it was $20 for 1 litre, meant to use 50-100ml each time you clean the filter but mine was looking pretty dirty so i used about 300ml. I got a bit carried away but i guessed the element probably hadnt been cleaned since being put on the car years ago in japan.

Air filter oil can be bought from autobarn or wherever.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
