I finally got around to installing a traction control bypass switch to the bosch module. I ended up doing the brake switch and AWD switch as well to have the ability to do burnouts, drifiting, and hard launches. The brake pedal switch acts as an anti-theft switch as well, as the car won't turn on then the switch is engaged. I tested the switched while the car was on and thankfully it doesn't blow any fuses. The dash lights turn on indicating if the switch is enabled, the dash lights go away after cycling the car off and back on. I made a small stainless plate labeling the switches. I think I will make another with the colors reversed black paint with white lasered letters so it matches the rest of the car and is easier to read. Thanks to Lt8Che for the detailed write ups on the DIY. It was a fun little project on my Friday afternoon.
Does anyone regognize which filter they are rebranding?
I'm unsure, but the price is pretty steep—$ 162 just for drop-in filters after shipping and tax. I would assume they came from China and the markup is an insane amount. You can get the K&N filters for $35 a piece.

This is pretty cool, I was excited to do this until I read it wasn't available for the 2009 models. I can't wait for the GTR gauges on the screen. He is currently wiring up a batch of boards!

Agree. And we even get a dyno test on our cars with the K&Ns.

The description says the $70 price is for 2 filters.

HA! They must have been spying on us. They changed it. This morning it said it only includes one filter. That's more like it. Most likely a typo on the new listing and then was updated. But it wouldn't surprise me if they tried selling them at that price LOL

R2C makes a nice drop in filter, fits well in the OEM air box.
PF10544
There is also the dry Nismo ones: A6546-1EA00.
I like the K&N wet filters and have never had any issues with clogged MAFs. I can however see how this could be an issue if one doesn't clean and reoil them correctly.
If I'm not mistaken, the higher end OEM filters are oiled as well, but they are throw aways The Nissan Advantage version is simple paper.

I literally just use the Nitto oiled paper filters now. I think the K&N's are probably fine, the dirty MAF issue comes from applying to much oil to the oiled versions.
The NISMO are not oiled, they are indeed dry and they say they can be cleaned, though they are not a true reusable filter as they are paper media. I actually have a brand new set I got some time ago I have not used yet.
As for the NVA versions of the filters, Nissan must of changed it a couple times as there is multiple part numbers for it.

I tried K&N multiple times over the years and stop using them because in my G they always make me lose low end torque. Plus when I put the peddle to the metal the car would cut power. Plus I used one in my Volvo and there was a nice red puddle of oil at the bottom of the air box, and it was factory oiled. I just find the oem filter to be the best all around, even though it's not necessarily the best at high highway speeds. Would let my buddy drive and he would notice the lack of power too with the K&N's in
The K&N drop-ins with the black, logoless CZP silicon intake tubes are a nice OEM+ mod. Even passes smog here in CA, despite it being illegal to modify anything on the intake side after the MAF.
I also like that silicone hoses have a greater temperature resistance compared to rubber hoses (still recommend rubber on the coolant side).

I don't disagree, some OEM parts (like most) just work well.
