Wet filter will screw up your AFM.

That's the first time I've heard that but I'm not the type to disregard someone elses view =) Personally I would have thought that if the filter was dripping wet then maybe it would have some effect on the afm. Perhaps a better name might be a slightly moist filter rather than a wet filter. Anyone else have views on wet filters? (not K & N specifically) as I'm curious =) Thouhg I'm not about to change mine anytime soon.

wouldnt organising a sealed air box with a pick up that drew clean fresh air be more beneficial than this "name brand" is SIKER than that one.I can only speak for what i have seen but we only ever ran K&N on the Willall car and now i do after a certain Jap.foam filters cost me a set of Turbos on mine.

My car makes 255rwkw at the moment with the stock airbox and k&n flat panel air filter.

We tried taking the air filter out and running none - dynoing with the bonnet up and lild off the airbox it made absolutely no difference in power output.

My understanding is such that you should blow it out with compressed air at regular intervals. I can't imagine any performance car owner with half a brain not EVER servicing the device that filters the air going into the engine....Not trying to start a big debate just saying that most sensible owners are fairly adamant about regular services =)

Dezz the Apexi items are meant to last for ages and are claimed as zero to little maintenance. You gotta make the choice if you wanna do nothing, blow it out at regular intervals or use a non dry filter. I went with wet purely because it encourages a regular service routine =)

So you put on a wet filter to make your life harder?

LoL. Perhaps we have a different approach to car maintenance. I'd personally rather know that the filter requires cleaning and do it and have a nice clean filter again, personal preference =) Then again, your question was essentially rhetorical anyway so I'll leave it at that.

Side note: Good to see a wide range of views too, be boring if everyone went the same route.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
