Not worried about the money as much as do i get to run one of these filters for 2 years stress free? Does their smaller physical size mean i need to clean them at shorther intervals...do some brands leak thru o-rings (or is that internet chatter BS?)

Mostly i cant find a 5 micron filter as the Bosch one i run is 5 micron and good for years.. I am guessing 10micron is fine given its all they seem to be offered in?!

I haven't had one leak on cars I've done work on, but if I pulled it apart I changed the o-ring while I was in there just to be on the safe side. We use to clean them every service just cause we could but it definitely wasn't essential to do so

I wouldn't waste your time with a skinny earls filter- too small, get clogged quickly, fuel seems to have to move to fast through them... I've have a couple and they just get thrown out.

I prefer a larger body with a bigger screen area, especially at such fine filtration. My injector manufacturer mandates 10mic.

I use Weldon filters in my GTR, big body- big screen area and very well made. Unlikely to come apart (compatible with meth, nitro meth and all race fuels)

Saying that, I'd just buy another couple of Bosch MS filters and be done with it... at least that way you don't have to change anything and you know they work.

It's likely I'll go that way with my gts-t build.

Cheers

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
