There are heaps of debates over the filters (pod or panel) and how good they actually

are for your car.

chicane is right - partition it off otherwise you will be sucking in ALOT of hot air coming off

the engine.

The debate is; that some filters have very good air flow but poor filtration, thus getting

dust and particles into your motor, where as other filters have poor air flow but are doing

what they are meant to be doing and that is to FILTER particles and crap. It will depend

on where you live, ie. dusty area, or nice clean area.

Best you can do is keep it oiled, and build a nice solid partition to keep heat and unwanted

crap out. You can buy one for about 150ish or build it yourself, I just recently built one myself and you can stick on hand in the engine bay area, and other in the pod partition area and really notice a difference in temperature after a spirited drive.

K&N, Blitz, Apexi, Unifilters - they wont vary by very much, the most you'll get is an additional or negative few kw

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
