Hi Guys,

Quick question,

I'm just about to buy either an K&N air filter or an Apexi air filter(second hand) for $150 bucks and $250 (respectivelty), the K&N doesn't have the adaptor kit to suit the gts-t R33.

I have attached a pic of the K&N.

Anybody know how much this piece would be and where I can get it from? (Adaptor)

Or

I might buy the Apexi Air filter for $250 (second hand),

Firstly does any one have any photo's of what it looks like - Apexi in the engine bay (or out), this one comes with the adaption kit but is it worth $250 bucks???

Thanks for your help.

Rob

the apexi one looks similiar to that k&n one expect it's got red in it.

from what i've read and heard the apexi is the way to go. it is meant to have the best performance increase out of all the filters on the market.

i will be looking to get and apexi one within the next couple of weeks. does anybody know where you can buy these with the adaptor kits?

I got an Apexi Power intake kit for my GTR, and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to everyone.. The instructions (although in japanese, thankgod for pictures) are easy to follow and it comes with all required brackets and moulded steel adaptors.. Much much better than my previous experiences with australian made air filters in which you have to make your own brackets etc..

took me about 1hr to fit, which included pulling the factory box out, working out instructions and hooking it all up (mind you i had to deal with 2 pods though the fit and brackets where spot on!)

Also realise that for any actual improvement you may want to build a cold air induction box as well, to keep the hot air out from the engine bay. i havn't gotten around to that yet, and you can significantly feel the loss of power and response when the engine bay gets hot.. the turbo sounds awesome though and it makes the stock BOV's louder too (bonus! :-)

so make sure you get all the included adaptors and instructions...

I've noticed the K&N revs out more freely than the restrictive

stock air box..

Anything is better than the stock air box.... :devil2:

ehaheah as u can see i'm obsessed.... cause thats the only

mod i got!!! :hellpisse

Thanks for your replys.

Hey Macka,

how long does it take (roughly) to order and have it shipped to Sydney??? (sounds good)

XrSiSt,

Does that shop you mentioned (American Auto's I think) sell the bracket to attach the K&N to the AFM sell them seperately??

If so how much and where is the shop?

Yeah they do sell it seperately, they charged me only $30 but I

bought the air filter also so i'm not sure how much they go for

individually.

The majority of car accessory shops sell them.

American Auto Spares is in Beverly Hills which may be a bit far

for you, so it may be just worth paying a bit more somewhere

else thats more local.

This is how mine looks

:burnout:

Takakaira is pretty good with delivery 5 days to 3 weeks depending on availibility of parts..

Yes im sure the APEXI filter comes with the brackets it says that on the site check it out

Anyone want to buy my HKS Powerflow pod for R33 with brackets? The filter itself is in good nik.

It was on the car when i bought it and ive had the car for 2 months $100 cheap cheap :burnout:

Im in perth

I have the same filter as Robo and GrimGTST

there rated to flow enough air for 260hp so with 215hp at the wheels i'm pretty close to that 260 at the flywheel. the bigger K&N want fit in there :P

What power is the apexi suppose to be good for? and do u need a special oil like the K&N to clean it?

yeh K&N and Apexi are the best two pod filters you can buy

K&N's are legal, not sure about apexi, if that makes any difference to your choice.

i have a K&N and a mate has an Apexi power one and they both seem very similar in noise and performance increase, just remember to take advantage of a pod filter you have to get cold air to it, so remember that when installing it etc cos you will in the end either enclose it or run a pipe from underneath it etc.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
