replacement box filter

[Guest silver33 guy]

I need to get a high flow box filter to replace the original one on the R33.

I heard that K&N doesn't make one for the Skyline (in australia). What are the alternatives and where can I get them?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

[Guest Boxhead]

im pretty sure you can get a nismo one, or possibly a HKS one, but i am not sure who you would approach about getting one...

and i rekon if you cant find a k&n fit in replacement your not looking hard enough, ive heard of lots of people using one...

but those things aside, im pretty sure rev210 is using a drop in replacement, ask him.

if u have access to Redline air filters theyre just as good and alot cheaper

I am almost 100% sure the size is generic size - ie. measure it and if it matches a currently available model, there you go.

Yes they do.

I have one in mine. It is the same filter as the aus delivered R31, and the VL 3L.

[Guest silver33 guy]

there is a k&n filter that will fit in the skyline with a bit of force. the filter for the vn commodore is the closest fit but i rather one made specifically for the skyline for a perfect fit. thanks to all who have replied so far.

the VL commodore K&N fits like a glove, just upside down! off the nissan 3L engine, should be abt $100 from pretty much anywhere.

as Zahos said.....

Is that size 282mm X 169mm ?

Same as N14 Pulsar and 200SX ?

If so I have 100 Jamex ones that I sold about 3 years ago and the guy went bust, so I repossed them. They are triple density foam, the ducks guts in airfilters.

If not let me know the size and I might have some.

If they fit, $35 each posted to anywhere in Australia, I'll take Visa or Mastercard.

Yeah I am positive that K&N make one too..

Let us know which one you get... I need one soon too

[skyr33]

The filter is the same as Ryco A360 and fits pulsars,skylines(upside down as noted before) sylvias and most commodores and subaru.

Is there a NOTICABLE change in power when the filter is changed for a highflow drop in replacement? We pulled out the filter in the R33 for a test run down the road and noticed a fairly lage gain in power. (for test purposes only, we put back in straight away).

Would a good panel filter show almost as high of a gain as a boxed pod or no filter? It's hard to decide on what option is best as they both have their good and bad points.

[DREMEN]

I think it would something like 3-5kw, thats about all you get....

But the engine will breath better

[Sydneykid]

Hi guys, 360's, so the Jamex ones will fit. We get a 6 rwkw increase on mild tune 200SX's with them, don't see any reason why you would not get around the same on a GTST.

They retail for $90 each so $35 posted is a bargain. Let me know if you want any. I will post a For Sale in the relevant place.

yea im searching for one and if i find anything ill post it up, i heard of K&N and Kingdragon or something, im just gonna get my stock filter and bring it to the shop and ask

-tired of yellow stickers for filter

[Guest silver33 guy]

i was gonna go a pod filter originally but have been warned about the noise level. i like my skyline to keep a low profile - the huge exhaust already draws a few looks from the cops! if i don't get a performance gain i can 'feel' with the k&n, i may still switch to a pod filter.

[CR34TION]

oh so we are talking about panel filters here? of course there are drop in panel filters for skylines... k&n, blitz, hks, trust, apexi, redline... every brand has them. You can get the k&n or redline from Autobarn, or the other Jap stuff from performance shops... this shouldn't be an issue at all!

the challenge is trying to find a air box containing a pod filter like mugen do for hondas... they would work wonders, keeping out engine heat and saving you from a canary (provided cops don't open up ya box)

[Sydneykid]

Hang on, let me get this this right............

In Vic your'e not allowed to change your air filter?

How do they know that the car wasn't complied with it?

Why do they think it's illegal?

Surely not too loud?

It's not a pollution issue, the air goes in, not out doesn't it?

Or is this just an excuse to give you guys a hard time?

If it is, someone should sue, find a car that's complied with a POD, cop a couple of defects, then sue them for harrasment. Win just one case and they will have to stop this sort of crap.

[CR34TION]

How does anyone know whether it is complied with the pod or not, the import papers don't show such detail... could have put it on afterwards... true air goes in, but more air comes out (that's what i heard). I also heard cos it could catch on fire in the engine bay, and i heard they like to give us a hard time.

[CR34TION]

sorry for jacking thread... yeah go to autobarn or any performance shops like Makspeed, Revzone, Autobarn, Evolution R for you filters.

I know people that have been given fines and yellow stickers for even boxed pods, and epa usally open up the box to see if there is a filter or a pod (For r32 you can mod the box to house a pod) anways the best alternative would be a k&N panel filter, they have been proven to filter the air quite well compaired to other filters (also foam ones) they are easy to clean and last for ages. The price isnt to bad either. My 2 cents.
