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.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
