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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
