[Nicely]

Nice :thumbs:




Though, that filter is going to be shite for filtration, Im afraid.... All those mushroom type filters are. Only the Blitz SUS is worse.

 

[kimi]

nice :thumbs:

its always good when parcels like that arrive

 

[sushiming]

nice lot of goodies there mate...i think ive gotta get a rear strut too :thumbs:

 

[channie]

Never had a rear strut on a nissan before, really interested to see what sort of difference it makes. I needed the bov coz the oem is leaking (perfect excuse to get a noisey shinny peice of metal!).
I had one of the these filters on the last silvia, the filters are really cheap to replace, so its cheap to maintain and keep clean, sounds nice aswel.
What filtes are everyone else running???

 

[Nicely]

The generally accepted filter with a very happy balance of filtration and power is the APEX'i.

This comparison test may be of interest.

 

[channie]

Nice testing, i like testing done like that so you can see the results!
Would be well pissed if i had paid ?200 for it then seen that article!
Good thing i only paid ?43 for it...

 

[Nicely]

Those prices were a while back You can pickup an APEX'i kit (with the Apex Performance adapter rather than the ripoff APEX'i one) for ?89. You won't get any of the others for under ?100 (from UK suppliers).

I certainly wouldn't want all that crap going through the AFM and into the turbo... :no:

Some nice goodies there. Should keep you busy for half an hour anyway.. I've the HKS Megaflow..

 

[channie]

Yeah i know, its the only disapointment! Wish i'd ordered something abit more complicated to assemble.
Did you read the review on filters posted by nicely (above)?? Does yours let that much junk though? If you get a chance do you know how thick the foam on your filter is??

Actually. The side winkers could take a long time to fit. My winkers are so stuck it's not funny.
I've given up the idea of removing and tinting them but will jump right on it again when I get myself some white nismo ones

Was only messing bout the hole half hour thing. Its kinda a sayin i have. Meant nothing disrespectful bout it. Jes i didn't realise the hks lets in so much crap. The foam is about 2-3mm thick i would say. Mines looks clean but i dunno maybe its actually dirty.??

I'd be interested to see how it compares to the JWT filter - I've decided to sell my HKS and have ordered a "POP charger" as replacement - I run 2 of them on my Z32.

 

[Nicely]

I ran the HKS for about 3-6 months. It can be washed very easily as its only a thin sheet of foam. I washed the foam before I sold it on and it was filthy. Just take the front mesh off and look at the difference between the exposed and hidden parts of the foam...

Like I said, the only one anywhere near that bad is the Blitz SUS. It relies solely on a metal mesh to filter dirt.... A tea strainer would probably be more effective. Oh, but it looks and sound the nuts... :nod: Shame your turbo will exploded when a small cat is sucked through...

 

[Topper]

I used to run a Blitz SUS, but after reading that tests, i changed to Apexi :thumbs:

Good bunch of packages there mate, all we need to see now is them fitted :thumbs

 

[channie]

Weather permitting, they'l be fitted saturday morning! I'll give her a wash and post some pics. I'll also post some pics of the coilovers on the car, should have really taken some photos of them compared to the ones i took off but it was snowing and i'd lost feeling in my feet, didnt want to hang around and take photos!
So the general recomendation is the Apexi?? does it pull air though the outside and the hole through the centre??
HKS 3mm thick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder why it lets so much through!
I'l take mine apart and post some pics...

 

[Nicely]

:no: That cone hole is blocked. It sucks through all the fins on the side.

 

[kimi]

i've got apexi on my yari.

however that test nicley posted did not do apexi much good ,as they have have gone bankrupt.

 

[Topper]

Are you sure

 

[channie]

Yep, i was ordering some EL2 gauges but they didnt have the boost in stock, and couldnt get it coz they had gone bankrupt. They said if i waited a few weeks they could check other companies stock and get me one.
So if anyone is looking for a powef fc better try and find one know!
