I know this is a dumb question but i have to ask. I have a HSK mushroom pod filter on my 95 gtst. Its pretty dirty, so i went to buy a cleaning kit for it (the guy said that the K&N cleaning kits work on em) i cleaned it once and now its dirty again.

In that time i've heard that these filters are actually replacement type (i hope not as they are 65 bux each) but i just wanted to know if i can clean it or if i actually need to replace it. I don't want my engine sucking in any crap.

Cheers

Yeah they're replacement types alright. But even still they do suck in a lot of dirt with a new filter. If you really want to keep it, then I suggest clean it regularly. Not what HKS recommend but oh well....

If you want less hassels and worries, get something else.

hey are the hks pods oiled?? i've read all them threads attached and there seems to be a bit of contradictory advice in there. I oiled it when i bought that cleaning kit (not overly) but i'm wondering if thats a bad thing to have done now.

Thanks for all the help too guys

I don't agree with the thread on the UK site, oiled foam air filters are a superior filter. And the person [sorry can't remember his acronym] was unaware that HKS foam filters are oiled indicates to me that he is making conclusions while not in possession of all the facts, a dangerous practise. Foam air filters -- oiled -- are usually multilayered and so trap dirt very well without inhibiting induction. They do require regular cleaning, and are engineered to be so treated.

The other thread with the filter test, I would be somewhat suspiscious of, many tests are conducted and distributed by competitors that malign other products. I can't verify if this is the case, however the fact that many racing fraternities use and help develop various filters [as well as other auto accessories] reinforces dependability, performance, and function.

ive got a hks pod, and ive had the car for about 22k now (over about 5 months...)

Daily driver on the F3, so the car (and intake) sure get a workout..

I replace the filter element every 10k (Autobarn, $65 - usually order in) and yes they are pre-oiled.

I have also regularly checked the intake pipe and AFM, and i cant say that there is an exsessive amount of dirt, crap, etc getting through..

Like anything, regular maintanence is a good preventative measure if you are worried.

All pods are going to allow more airflow (and hence more particles) than the stocker paper filter (more flow = less restriction) - so if you are super worried go back to stock..

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
