Autobarn stocks K&N too. Alternatively, I can get my mate to bring one in for you - he's a distributor for K&N stuff and got mine for me for a bit less than $100 (his business is Launch Performance & Audio). Let me know if you want me to ask him.

Check out TCCA in artarmon, not far from you, Jayjay.

I called in last week and Milan was more than happy to talk realistic options.... not just sell parts for the sake of it.

My local Autobarn has always been really good on pricing, but it helps when your in there every weekend

Sadly they have moved in with another store in Artarmon or something while their new store is built which means I have to deal with some of the less knowledgeable people at other stores.

You can get BA XR6 and Skyline K&N pod filters to fit with an adapter plate, well you'll probably need an adapter plate regardless I even needed to red rill the closest plate they had which was for a 180SX. Your going to have a problem mounting it, making a bracket is fine, but making a heat shield is better. I'm running an RB26 pod apparently, well... 1/2 of an RB26...

Those filters are around $75 rrp from SuperCheap auto, with a discount such as the free2go or sale your looking at $60.50 which is what I got

. Add another $15 for sheet metal and another $5 for a meter of sealing and voila' you got yourself a 95% insulated pod ... All for under $90

The effort is in the heat shield, mine still needs the lid and respray, and sealing and a proper heat temp sensor mount. And I started this 4 weeks ago

I'll post picks up when I finish.

Or you could always go the proper filter such as BMC or as Mr. Hawk did, a DRIFT carbon pod with ducting for a measly $160.

thanks for replies.. my local autobarn closed down a few years ago and the closest is... i actually thought they moved out of nsw...?

it's quite hard to adapt pod/bmc to k-jet cause.. well i'm not going to explain. k-jet's a bitch. hahaha. i never even knew about tcca.. i'll find out about them.

mm time to get back under my car.. when it's not jacked up, it's sooooooo low.
