Hey Guys,

I was wondering what place you would recommend picking up an Apexi power intake kit for a JZZ30 from? just looking for a place with the best prices, an ebay store is selling them for $220 and that seems to be the best I can find so far locally.

cheers,
Owen

Autobarn will cost u more. ITs cheap to buy the intake second hand. Then go to an exhaust shop n buy a 90deg bend. The rest should be fairly easy :-)

Ahh so I should keep my eyes out for a second hand one? i'd just give it a going over with the air compressor at home and if I get a 90 degree bend it would allow me to fit it quite easily onto the stock piping?

Sorry for the questions, only had a Soarer for a few weeks so i'm a noob :-)

thanks Dave!

I cant remember what size the pipe is. But can be bought from exhaust shop for as lil as $15.

POD: Have a look in the for sale section, there was a guy selling one. Also try nissansilvia etc. The pod was $90 brand new off nengun n greenline. Not sure how much it is now.

Alot of people will say search BFI. Each to their own i say

Apexi are regarded as the BEST in terms of both filtration AND power :-) HKS and Greddy are the crap ones.

K&N filters are illegal (QLD).
They are oily based items which do damage to your air flow meter

You'll only find an AFM on the VVT-i's and 1UZ's from what I know.

Thanks to some help from Mike to make up a box for my filter, she's all installed and running great! she's a bit more responsive and it makes a world of difference to the sound of the car and the turbo's
