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.

      You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎

      Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
