well they might flow better and filter good, but for how long, what is the longevity of the filter life. u mite only get a 3rd of the life from one and u will have to change it 3 times as often. a mate had one of these on his 200sx, but not sure how it went.

im sure this is the filter though.

I've actually been running one of these for a few months...personally didn't notice any difference over the previous K & N

I must admit I never even noticed it had 3A Racing on it :P

ha ha fair enough.

in the end of the day i dont think the difference is going to be that big it will give u major hp gains.

i am look for a replacement filter for my k&n atm, but not sure what to get, as i already have the adapter for the k&n i was thinking of getting another one to fit the adapter as it is a really wide mouth adapter, but i got told they are expensive to buy.

I've had 2 on my RB26 for over 2 years now, they filter very well (have had an oil analysis done which supports this) and are well made - very similar to previous K&N filters that I have owned. Better filtration and flow than Apexi and 1/3rd the price - how can you go wrong!? :happy:

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
