Rosssco Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Hi, I was thinking of a drop in panel filter (along the lines of K&N, Pipercross etc.) more because my car (well, hopefully should be on Saturday ) is due its 54k service, which they replace the air filter anyway, so thinking its a good time to install something with hopefully a bit more noise. I was considering a filter kit that replaces the airbox, but, I do more town / city roads than anything else, and unprotected filter tends to suck in hot air. So any recommendations on these? I realise anything here won't realistically free up any power, but more for the noise really too... Cheers, Ross Quote

Rosssco Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 The JWT popcharger comes with a heat shield bud I know, but don't tell me these things, as I'm trying to resist as I havent even got the car yet and I'm buying bits (hoohum)!! And I still need to sell 2 MR2's... Plus, I'd need to tell my insurance, and can't bothered right now Quote
Jay Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I wouldnt mind a pop charger but just aint paying 120 bucks for one lol Quote
Chris`I Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I wouldnt mind a pop charger but just aint paying 120 bucks for one lol The sooner you get it, the longer you use it for and the cheaper it works out per day So just get it and enjoy the noise Quote
M13KYF Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 K&N panel filter. Then a years time get a re charge kit and you'll no longer need to replace the filter. Cost around £42 and cheaper than the nismo one Quote
sl114 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 you wont hear a different noise from a panel filter Quote
jim Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 K&N panel filter. Then a years time get a re charge kit and you'll no longer need to replace the filter. Cost around £42 and cheaper than the nismo one Can you re-charge the Nismo panel filter? Quote

Cost around £42 and cheaper than the nismo one Can you re-charge the Nismo panel filter? I beleive the Nismo is just a cotton gause filter as the K&N is. So you should be able to clean and oil it. Google will reveal the true answer Quote
sunset350z Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I have a new uprated panel filter by invo-auto, its as good as the K&N etc it normally retails for £45 but i'm selling it for £25 delivered!! Quote

Google will reveal the true answer According to the nengun site, it is a paper filter. Not sure if that can be cleaned and oiled. Not much else on Google that's of much help. Quote
Adriank Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 As said above, a panel wont change the noise at all, just get a pop charger and revel in the sucking! Quote

Give Adam@Z1 a pm, he should know for sure. If it is paper, I cant see you being able to oil it though. Quote

StokieShinobi Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 My car is due its service anytime now. May aswell get a decent air filter The Zed is totally standard - will the JWT popcharger suit a standard Zed? Does it make a nice noise / increase power? Quote

May aswell get a decent air filter The Zed is totally standard - will the JWT popcharger suit a standard Zed? Does it make a nice noise / increase power? It sure will, plenty customers have this as there only mod The noise is lovely over 4k revs, the power gains are marginal but you do get improved throttle response. Have fun! Gaz Quote
StokieShinobi Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Brilliant Thanks for your reply ..........saving the pennies already Quote
Darren-B Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 you wont hear a different noise from a panel filter well maybe a little Quote
GreenSheener Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 to add another option, i was severly bored the other day, and began rummaging through my old s14 200sx bits i had in the shed, only to find the HKS panel filter i bought ages ago was still in the old standard airbox, and to my surprise was exactly the same size as the oem 350z panel filter. bunged it in, did a quick ecu reset, and bobs yer uncle ive got no dyno proof, but the car seems to have more low-end grunt with the panel filter my popcharger is now sat in the back bedroom.....
