Guys was just wondering if this would fit our cars or not?

Depends on whos testing it, other tests have had some interesting results :)

I tried to get a couple of the Austrailian cheapo's to try, but ended up with the AEM Dryflows. Flow aint too much of an issue as I have a twin filter set up

 

That makes for interesting reading. As stated in the text, the results are controversial and contrary to what a lot of other "independent" tests have indicated. I guess it's a bit like hearing about the unemployment level: the figure depends on who is reporting it and what methodology was used. Statistics are ever so easy to manipulate in order to generate a pre-determined outcome. I'm not saying that the Australian publication had a hidden agenda.

 

In any case, what is important here is that through years of experience with A'PEXi filters I (and many others) have concluded that they are the best filter for the Z32 under most normal driving conditions. Their main advantage is that they are a dry-type filter, meaning the cotton does not contain any oil (which is mostly used to trap contaminants) which may then cause problems for flow rates). This also means (a) it won't damage the MAF sensor and (b) it is very easy to clean (just dunk in clean water, use a soft brush and then dry thoroughly - no re-oiling required). Furthermore, they offer a Z32 specific filter kit so no messing about with universal adapter plates and dodgy jubilee clips.

 

Thanks for posting that link Ossian, very interesting indeed!
