I've decided to buy a cone filter as I love the sound of the engine but can no longer hear it since fitting a Cybox catback.

Jimbo, and others, have put me off the K&N and so an Apexi it is. The only universal one I can find is sold by nengun in Japan! Can anybody point me in the right direction to buy one from the UK?

I got used Apexi for sale if you want it. Would have to check how much the shipping from Poland is thou. If you are interested just PM me

I have a used one available too. Pm me if interested.

Thanks for the offers chaps, but a new one from Nengun is only ~£70 to my door, so I'd probably go for that

and $26 on ebay.com.....

a copy one .

Yes ebay ones are ruled out for that exact reason. There's video on youtube comparing a real with a fake. I doubt a copy would have the filtering performance of a genuine one.

Really?
Another nail in the coffin for eBay for me, you just can't tell what's real, fake or stolen.

Still, are they not cheaper in the states?

Pro tip, the clue is usually in the price

Nobody, unless they're very stupid, sells fakes at genuine RRP.

Well I bought the universal item from Nengun, which comes with an adaptor plate. It was £76 delivered by air and should arrive in about a week. Customs charges look to be around 24%, so all in it'll be around £100. Still cheaper than a new K&N induction kit!

And the stolen items?

Keep us posted on how it goes, 76 Inc. Airfreight is cheap!!

The filter was only £58, the GBP to JPY rate is very favourable at the moment!

Will report back once it's here & fitted.

I found the How to spot a fake Apexi filter video.

Ok well it was sent on 28th and I collected it from my local PO today.





I had to log in to check the dispatch date as I was originally told 8th April, but when that past a few days later 28th April appeared. I tried to contact nengun twice via their website and regardless of their "we will reply in 15 mins during our office hours" promise, I got no reply. Still, I waited and have been tracking the parcel since Monday!

So I'd recommend the parts from nengun as it's clearly genuine, just don't expect a swift dispatch time!

Now I need a bit of 3" silicone pipe with a 45 degree bend.

That's a great price. I used to get my Nissan stuff from here

I used to buy my 200sx parts from Apex when I had it years ago too, Bren was a helpful chap! The kit on the Apex website doesn't have the universal adaptor either.

Oddly, the photo for this product on this website has the Apexera text on it which, acording to the above 'how to spot a fake' video, makes it a fake...

What size flange do we need on these cars?

This eBay site appears to be selling genuine products so I may take a punt.

By the way, is it worth replacing the filter of my A'pexi? It's been on for around 30k miles now so I figure it's probably worth getting a fresh one? Assuming it is a genuine product, I may get away with just a £60 filter replacement...
