Gday crew the time has come for me to wash my filters i have 2 HKS washable pods that are filthy!

Just wondering who else is running them, what you do to clean them and what oil you put on them to keep em sticky?

also is there a down side to these filters like sucking air filter oil into my intake?

Cheers crew you know how it goes any info is appreciated

Cheers

Dion

HKS are one of the best filters around.

I got 2 of them and I use the K&N air filter cleaner kit.

Let it soak for about 10mins then rinse under tap and let it air dry.

Apply a light coat of filter oil and re-insert the filters back on.

HKS are one of the best filters around.

Lmfao is that a joke? I got a $40 3A racing pod filter which was proven to have best filtration and flow even above the Apexi. HKS came dead last in filtration. Uselss filter, throw it out.

Razzaamatazz pantyhose is the best filter around. Provides good filtration with mimimal restriction and can double as a condom if you suddently run out.

Find em in the safeway isle for other feminne hygiene products.

LOL! Kris

I had a 3A racing pod, the glue melted off and the filter fell off.

The HKS ones are doing me fine.

yeah dont know if ya supposed to bolt it straight to ya turbo! just kidding.

yeah i read that review ages ago in autosalon and it supprised the hell out of me. i only have the hks ones because they were on me car when i bought it.

pretty sure i am just goin with the stock box with a good panel filter apexi or alike.

any objections?

The HKS Piping looks the greatest - absolutely s*xy!

About 3 reports now, all agree that the HKS sponge filters themselves rate quite poorly for both

i) flow and

ii) filtering efficiency.

Further reports say that if you have AFMs, use a dry filter eg APEXi

If you don't use AFMs (eg whilst running a HKS F-Con Pro-V ECU), you can use a wet filter eg K&N

I use Simota Sponge filters on my HKS Intakes and throw them out, once they get dirty. Discarded my HKS ones.

Same, my HKS filters came with the car and been cleaning them ever since.

Pods or standard air box. Doesn't really matter if your car is lightly modded, I say.

If you put the stock box back on, I would just upgrade the filter inside to a high flow one for a peace of mind, but I think the standard filter is still just as good... Up to you...

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
