Not wishing to start another "SE is best" row but i had one of their MAXFLOW twin airfilter jobbies put onto my car back in December 2000.

 

Deciding to give my ZED some TLC i cleaned it top to toe on Saturday and took off the Z badge panel in between the headlights to clean all round it.I was expecting to be in stunned at the delights of the SE NISSAN MAXFLOW airfilter system and what did i find was....Wait for it.....Wait..... two paper cylindrical air filters pushed...YES PUSHED onto the W shaped twin pipe unit made by SE. There was no airtight seal between the filters and the plastic W pipe and to top it all off the filters were not even securely attached to the W pipe,moved,and almost fell off when i touched them!!!

 

This has definately put to rest any doubt in my mind about what a complete load of TOSS SE MAXFLOW airfilter system is.

What really made me laugh was when i took the W pipe and PAPER units with me to my local Halfords to see if i could find a suitable K&N Or Jamex replacement pop charger with the same diameter attachment as the PAPER units, only to be told by the young Halfords employee, and i Quote....

 

"they're off a TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP TRUCK aint they??!!"

 

And upon checking a new Toyota hilux airfilter against my SE MAXFLOW unit bugger me up the backside if i havn't just paid £300 for a piece of absolute dogshit from the makers of TOSS themselves....It was identical to a TOYOTA HILUX unit!!!!!!!!

 

I do,for all those SE NISSAN lovers among us, just in case anyone is interested in buying this quality piece of engineering,still have this "MAXFLOW" system in my garage and as yet is not lining the bottom of my dustbin. anyone interested....any, YES ANY sensible offer over £2.50p Secures such an item!!!

 

Now here comes the disclaimer......

I am very angry and pissed off at having spent all this money on such a pile of WANK.

I do NOT mind spending money on my ZED if the work produced is going to be of better quality than that of a 4 year old making things out of Playdoh and in future will not be putting work their way even for servicing!!!

dave according to sports car compact magazine who use a 300zxtt as a project car they made the claim of 5.115 volts as the limiting factor.

They have a very good reputation regarding this type of tech stuff.

 

Sounds good enough to me !

Well all i know is, had a fooking large K&N, then me single kit, then me twin cone kit fitted, can really here that air being sucked in and she runs much better when flooring it, there are ways to overcome the voltage limit though by using a voltage diverter for a couple hundred quid, if you were so inclined.

Smithy,

 

Not heard of that one before mate,maybe that's a more cost effective way of doin things if it works well. Certainly sounds easy enough!!

 

Paul

has that been done before smithy, never heard of that one?

what is a voltage divertor~?

No idea as regards a Zed, BUT the company i came across do sell the little box that interups the signal from the AFM to ECU and you can map it to different levels dependant on boost, have heard of cars in States using it though, will try and dig it out sometime.

smithy

you mean the HKS VPC ?

It's really expensive and for the money you might as well get an extra MAF + APEXI AFC to combine both MAF's into one signal
