i have had k&n with no problems all i did was go down to my local speed shop and look for the biggest 1 that would fit with out going over board then i got the guy to find that filter with the correct diameter pipe. swapped the filter on the spot it fitted and i was on my way.

ppl have problems with k&n when the re oil them after cleaning they put to much oil and then u get oil on the AFM but if this happens u just spray it with AFM cleaner (u should do this at filter change any way)

may i recommend a metal pod filter adapter because they dont brake i had one brake on me 4 no reason so i fixed it with super glue and drove down to auto1 got a new one and now no problems

and dont 4get to make a filter bracket to secure everything down because if u dont do this u will not pass pits

Sounds good guys. I'll have a look at the diameter of existing one and go from there. Prob need a new AFM anyway. Had issues in underground carparks (as well as other times) where my revs would fluctuate badly - from 200 to 1500, then car would stall when i gave it a little gas. Had it data-streamed but nothing came up.......weird. Hasn't happened in a while now though.

Anyway, i'll take into account the advice given

cheers

Got the proof from an independent source to back up your claim?

(website???)

I'd be interested in that too the last time I saw a pod survey concluding that the best filtration was with Apexi it later turned out the the survey was done by guess who--- ah hem, wouldn't have been Apexi by any chance-- :laugh: yup.

It's a PDF File from an Auto Salon magazine.

I LOL! everytime some post it and SAU shit on HKS filters, yet some of the worlds fastest Skylines in Japan use HKS filters.

Auto Salon have mechanics / engineers..?

Ah Ha-- :ermm: definately gospel , this from a publication that (in it's genre) has the worst art direction, worst type selection, worst photography,worst editorial, the list of worst is endless when it comes to this rag , it was recently sold, - just before it went broke, -I wish the new proprietor the best of luck with this dog imo they are going to need it.

Hah!

Yep, that's it.

Surprisingly I have on Auto Salon rag, which was given to me in 2008 and it had a decent write up on track cars and the High Octane / Yokohama ADVAN R32 GTR.

The rest was just wannabe Fast and the Furious car meet up shit.

That doesnt mean they are any good.

They appear to have the best flow characteristics, but lack the filtration. They are just a piece of green foam haha.

Japs are like americans, Name means everytihng :ermm:

Each to their own i guess. I read it on the internet they are crap. So it must be true!

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
