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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
