Does anyone know anywhere in Melb, pref northern suburbs that might have stock of K&N HP-2008 Oil Filters? I know none of the autobarns have any, i've got some on order through one but they always have to do special orders and get them in from the states, and it takes ages. Just wanted do a service while I am off work.

BTW, using K&N ones is just personal preference, i'm not going to use different ones :glare:

The brilliance of the K&N is the 1" head on the end of the filter to remove the filter using a socket set :(

I will have to find it somewhere...saw it like 6 months ago. Probably from the BITOG forum...oil forum I'm a member of. From memory it was better than Ryco for both pressure and flow - which by the way, isn't hard cos Ryco always finish at the bottom.

I do know that K&N filters are made buy Champion Labs, who make M1 and other decent deisgns. Generally the K&N oil filters have good flow and not as good filtering.

Anyway filters are so varied and different depending on what factory made them. I have a Aussie Nissan filters in from of me now but may vary form my Jap version - and it seems to in a numbe rof ways see the link below:

I found this in my favourites about OEM Nissan filters

I think I remember seeing the comparisons you mentioned, just remember something about the k&n's being the highest flow but not best filtering. I change my oil every 3000k's so I figured i'd go for flow over filtering....i dunno it all just seems to ring a bell...

Sorry Kyle....did I use your last one? :wave:

yes :)

Try Epping Autobarn. If Antonio or Jim can't get it overnight then it can't be got it seems.....

thats where I've had 2 on order for like a month :huh:

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!

      Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).

      Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap

      Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
