depends what type of filter it is, mate. If it;s a K&N, you can buy a filter cleaning kit for about 25bux. Tells you how to clean it with the stuff included and gives you an aerosol of messy pink goop to re-oil it when your done.

If it's something else then i'm not sure. Only ever owned K&N's.

Someone will tell you though.

i did my hks pods (green element). They are buggered and need replacing anyways, so i thought i'd try a bit of a clean. Hot soapy water didnt do much, but get the degreaser on to them and wow! There is alotta black crap these things can hold. Left them to dry in a 29celcius night, put back in car and everything sounds a lot crisper. Im not sure if these are meant to be oiled or not????

Are you sure that's an Apexi? It looks more like a Blitz metal mesh one. The only Apexi one I know of is a high flowing paper element one, and with either that or the metal mesh style, they don't need to be oiled.

If yours isn't either of the above I can't answer your question :(

Jimmy, thats what they described/named the filter at the dealership I bought the car from. I haven't had a good look at it to see if it had any brand name so your probably right.

It is a metal mesh, so should I pull it apart and clean it like mentioned above and not worry about oil?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
