Air Filter Replacement

[rawzz_v35]

Hi Guys,

I need to replace air filter in my v35 300gt 2001.... What is a good replacemnt for OEM air filter? I did bit of a search and seen Apexi and K&N filters.... Are they available in local auto shops like autobarn or repco? If not anyone knows where to get these in Melbourne?

Any help is much appreciated..

Thanks.

i Bought a K&N from supercheap for like 100 bucks direct replacement for the OEM one.

Don't go expecting any real difference (performance wise) from an air filter replacement. In fact, unless you have forced induction, a whole new aftermarket intake makes nearly no difference.

This is a good read - http://g35driver.com/forums/intake-exhaust/360896-dynoing-out-myth-intake-mods-results.html

Not much different it helped with fuel a bit but not much really, i think it may have been repco that i got it from also btw check em both

Autobarn and Bursons also apparently stock the K&N according to the K&N website

I've been looking at upgrading my OEM filter too and have come down to either K&N or Apexi. Think I will go with Apexi mainly because it is a 'dry' filter. Apparently if a K&N (or any other 'wet' filter for that matter) is excessively oiled it can mess with the mass airflow sensor. My previous experiences with VQ series engines tells me to keep away from anything that will mess with MAF and throttlebody. That said if you maintain a 'wet' filter correctly there shouldn't be any dramas.

I bought one of these Apexi: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/APEXi-Air-Filter-FX35-G20-G35-I30-I35-J30-M30-QX4-JDM-/290577885691?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a7caa9fb

Cant go wrong for the price and its the much preferred dry, low maintenance filter.
