Hey guys finally a killer filter at a good price. I ve been a fan of SARD and KN filters for a long time but they are not always easy to come by and the KN ones still have some short comings. I dont want this to sound like an ad but i know these have been a long time coming and are the product of over 12 months of R&D and testing. They are pressure tested further than any other filter and feature double pleating to filter better and also have an internal magnet to hold any nasties.

These Filters have several advantages over any other filter on the market and look killer too (not that that is important). There is an application list and these things can be bought from any AUTOBARN store (i have also just signed them on to be the sole supplier to my new workshop, i am that impressed).

Hey i went into autobarn in a victorian store the other day asking for these, do you have a part number or specific autobarn that you can buy these from because the bloke i spoke to didn't now anything about them and neither did any of the other guys. Also they had never heard of them at the repco i went to either. Do you know when/if they are planning to release them at all stores? I'm expecting it to be up to the idividual stores if thet choose to carry this line of filters.

Cheers

Can't help with the specific stores but the very first post had two pictures with what looks like part numbers. Are RB26's skyline the Z145A? (I know its a number like that but can't quite remember).

Cheers found one at sunshine autobarn the other day. The part numbers for these filters are the same as your normal part number that you would usually buy. Z145A would fit on GTR.

Ok quick question, what are the shortcomings of the K&N filter, and are they still better than a standard filter? Whats so much better about these ones.

I don't have the data at hand ATM (can't find link) but I saw a back-to-back test awhile back that actually rated the std Nissan filter at #2 out of a whole shiteload of filters & way above a lot of the big "name" brands. I don't remember what was #1 but I do remember whoever made FRAM filters also made several more (same filter re-branded) & it was CRAP. I'll try & find the info & post it up.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
