I'm looking to buy an Apexi high flow panel air filter here in Australia, but i'm not sure where to get one. I tried both supercheap and autobarn, but they only sell k&n.

I want an apexi one because I don't have to maintain it by re-oiling it every few thousand km.

I see that nengun.com sells them at a good price including shipping, but not sure on how fast they are at shipping. Any experience with them?

cheers!

i was looking at using EMS - International Express Mail Service. It says it'll take approximately 3-5 days after the order is sent from japan, but just want to know how reliable it is to buy from there and is the estimated shipping date accurate?

buy a 3A racing filter this out preformed all the rest of the big name brands in flow and filtration $30

not trying to put down your recommendation, but just wondering if anyone can confirm this? I've never heard of it that's why.

Also, is it a pod filter, or can you get a direct fit panel filter to fit in the stock box?

cheers for the info guys!

What do you guys think of the BNC panel filters? I was recommended to get one and it seems to work great, very high flow.... On the dyno it makes very little difference if it is removed or not...

Think it was something like 250rwkw vs 254rwkw on back to back runs... Snorkle, BNC Panel and stock airbox vs no airbox lid or filter... (Open bonnet)

Thats pretty impressive. Do you have a comparison between those stats and pod filter stats? I used to run a K&N panel filter on my 33 with stock air box and intake. It was pretty good (better than Ryco etc filter) but then when I fitted a pod It felt a bit better. I think a good pod in a good ensulated enclosure is the way to go though.

Nope, I've never run a pod filter on my 33...

Also keep in mind that the close power figures could have been because there was some other restriction which was limiting the power (exhaust, intake piping, turbo, etc)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
