This is a good find.

I know most people will ignore it but it must be reasonably accurate and true.

Thats the test I've referred to in the past regarding Blitz SUS filters being next to useless and Apexi/K+N being very good. Just couldnt remember where the hell I'd seen it :lol:

Makes you wonder really why the Blitz and HKS dont harm cars. Surely some muck must get sucked into the engine using these filters?

I'm opting for the K&N and I'll just adapt it to fit my CS. The Apexi is a little more awakward to install and has a smaller cone than the K&N on my car.

A'PEXi is the best by far. And not very expensive either. Can get for between AUD$200-250 if anyone is interested :P

Also wouldn't recommend the K&N only because of the fact it is oiled... esp. if you drive a ST165/185 (oil screws around with the AFM readings)

They were on special last month and they were $150 +shipping.
The biggest part of the price is shipping - the supplier I get from only offers shipping via EMS, which is not cheap... :roll: and also I am getting them individually and the full kit for the 205 with the intake pipe, not just the filter.
Also shipping from Japan to Australia is more expensive than Japan to Netherlands. I'm sooooo far away from Japan :( lol

It depends on how much oil is applied to the filter. As long as it's not excessive it will not cause any issues. :wink:

The K&N is still the best value for money filter around I'd say.

True. I don't know about you guys over in the UK, but here in Australia, Skylines are as common as.. I don't know... it's the new car that everyone wants to get when they get their license. And a lot of them don't know much about cars... and the Nissan AFMs are notorious to dying........... :P
