Keep away from foam and oil filters as they can reduce the life of your air flow meter. The Blitz is good if it has a good base plate. Don't forget the K&N stuff.. it's also cheaper.

You should've posted this in the aus mainatiance section.. you would have got more resposes.

The Blitz has the worst filtration. The HKS has the worst flow and the 2nd worst filtration. Go the K&N (IMHO).

I've heard from a very good source that certain cheap cotton/oil pod filters made in 3rd world countries are able to make more power than any other filter. Able to make more power than even an open pipe! Don't have any brand names, but they're the style that have a funnel shaped opening on the end. Don't believe me? Ask SST.

yeah thats the thing

that website taka kaira is selling tha trust airinx for 145.00 aussie dollars and it'll be bout 40-50 bucks for freight in tha end only cost max $210 when i asked round perth for one i was quoted at like 350-400 dollars

its either apexi or trust

i have nuthin against kn it's just i personally dun like em

Grandenko's right.

I put one of these "Apexi" copies on my old S15 and tried it against 2 other brands on SSTs dyno. The cheaper one actually made more power than the open pipe!

I've still got it at home and you can try it out for nought if you want to wait until mid December when I get back to Perth.

I typed almost the same thing in the other air filter thread,

APEXi - Evolution R, speak to Mao, about $160 bolts on, small little thing, sounds fantastic, takes about 10 mins to install if not less. just make sure you remember that the air flow meter bolts on the outside of the air box, not the ones on the inside, they are welded on nuts. heres me spraying that loosening stuff on a welded on bolt, should have unbolted the AFM to begin with , lol

    • Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.
    • Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"
    • There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out
