That is what I'm thinking, but let me see if I can get them cheaper.

Under $104 shipped at Amazon.com.

I should of ordered them from there, since I get free 2 Day shipping, oh well!

Give us a chance to beat any price.. Just send a PM..

Although would love to see the step to Gen 3's.. we get comments every day about how happy people have been with the installs..

Can't convince the financial manager to provide the funds to modify the Z. I can lable the K&N as replacement filters and she will be none the wiser.

Oh and by financial manager I mean wife.

Just bought these on sale at 370source. I put them in last night and I am VERY pleased. The sound changed a bit and brought out the grunt in the motor and matched the sound of the FI exhaust perfectly IMO. I can better hear the motor now. Only other difference able to be felt/observed is the freeing up of the high RPMs. Where the car would only agree to go smoothly to about 7k, it now freely revs to redline without hesitance. Good buy for $80 bucks.

What do you all think about the HKS drop in filter???

6spd · 05-21-2010, 11:55 AM

I looked at a filtration test/comparison between like 5 or 6 companies' air filters, K&N included, conducted on an R34, and while all averaged 4-5 hp, the levels of filtration varied greatly with HKS being the worst and K&N being second best. K&N only lost to a paper filter though, but HKS was rated as very poor for filtration. This was the usual drop in filter too, made of the same material. This made my decision a lot easier.

As it does mine. THX 6spd!!

6spd · 05-21-2010, 03:56 PM

no problem, if you do get the K&N's, youll enjoy them, i know i do!

NISMOFO · 12-28-2010, 09:58 AM

Its good practice not to open up a brand new filter and install immediately. You should let it sit out overnight (at least one night) to dry out a bit. If k&n heavily oils their filters then maybe let it sit out for 6 months?? LOL.

I've got a set of K&N drop in filters, but I don't want to waste my stock filters just yet. I'm at 7000 miles, when is a good time to replace the stock filters with the K&N filters?

After you read this.

I kept mine. I put them back in whenever I go to Nissan for any service. I just don't want to give them any excuses.
