basically, dont drive through 1 metre deep water, OR clean your engine bay at carlovers. I dont think I've ever driven through MASSIVE puddles enough to reach the engine bay. Also to be on the safe side, have a cold air box made up to cover the filter and block out radiator heat. I saw a good example on here a few weeks ago. Just my .2 :D

Hey guys, just outta curiosity..

Wont any aftermarket filter you fit on an RB25det...sound EXTREMELY similar to any other aftermarket filter..since its the same engine thats doing the sucking??

I know that there are very subtle differences in sounds from different filters..

but most sound really similar..

true/not true?

Not true.

Different filters can sound totally different on the same car.

got my a'pexi power intake through perfect run..

it arrived last thurs ,,, 6 days after faxing my order through..

it was 180$ inc delivery

I LOVE IT!!

loud a$$ induction noise, louder BOV, fly flutter sound on low boost shifts, very easy to fit, took my a few mins at night after i worked out how to take the afm and std airbox out. :)

only bad thing is is that i havent yet had a chance to build my cold air box so i notice it is a little laggyer than std..

but that should be easy to fix./.

sure it would...

think about it.. with the std. air box the turbo was sucking nothing but cold air..

but now that there is nothing between the engine and the filter the filter is sucking the hot air from the engine, hence making it laggier...

btw - that is one mother of a signature dude.. :lol:

i dont know about the HKS dude...

but paying that much for a air filter is crazy especially when you see the results of the filter test previously mentioned in this thread..

the apexi come with just the head, nut+bolts and support bracket.

basically everything you need to put it on your car.. it bolts straight onto the airflow meter:p

Guest | hype^ |

dude just do it yourself..

its easy as!!

just a few bolts here and there..

just unbolt the std air box from the car's body, then loosen the clamp thing holding the afm to the pipe, then take the box with afm out.

then just unbolt the afm from the box, bolt the a'pexi filter to the afm and put it back on the pipe and tighten the clamp again like it was b4. but dont forget to attach the support bracket to the filter and cars body..

even thought the instruction manual is in japanese there are digrams for both taking off the box and putting on the filter..

you cant go wrong..

just remember to replug in the afm:rolleyes: :)

    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
