I am going to be buying the best , most flowing airfilter this week before new years. So any input on what is the best please let me know.

I spoke to a engineer at harrod and he said it is the new BMC filter made in Italy.

What you think? Some people say dont get oiled air filters.. so that means the blitz airfilter?

any inputs?

Yeah I remember that story, wish I'd have seen it before I brought my HKS one two years ago. The Apexi one definetely sounds like the goods. Haven't heard anything on those BMC filters though.

"They have the internet on computers now?"

Apexi Power Intake.

Nothing else will be better.

Sorry but you are wrong.

I have spoken to the Harrod engineer and he laughed at the Apexi one, he has had complaints from them saying they are terrible compared to the BMC.

I just want to know another brand of filter that is as good... justbecause its apexi doesnt mean anything.. it is probably made in china also.

I recently bought 2 apexi pods, and they are excellent! good induction sound too Personally i think if you have a japanese car, i think the japanese tuners would know what they are doing with their cars more than an italian company making filters for italian cars, and apexi pods r made in japan :)

:D When it comes to flow rates and particle trapping through a filter, how does the country of origin make a difference? Its not like you can "tune" a filter for certain engine characteristics, and even if you do its not like A'PEXi releases different filters for different engines.

The only difference in the kits for specific engines will be the adaptor bits, not the filter itself.

You ask for an opinion on what is the best filter, someone gives their advice and your telling them their wrong...err have i missed something here.... Your mate, the engineer seems to know best so use that, i would appear your just going to cut down anyone that suggests something other than the BMC filter

Complete waste of thread, sorry to be harsh but the reality is this is a waste of space.

No, you are wrong and your "engineer" at "Harrod" is just trying to sell his crappy product.

But I guess this thread is pointless now because FAST-GT-R is banned now anyway.

I personally use a K&N Inverted POD. I've read a lot about high HP cars using hem with good results. Plus I like the idea of a wet serviceable filter. Just my 2c =) (Don't forget a heat shield!)

Wet filter will screw up your AFM.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
