Where to buy Ralliart Panel filter

[Robotnik123]

Anyone know where I can get a Ralliart perfomance panel filter for my stock air box? Or can you suggest some alternatives - would prefer not to get an oiled filter like the K&N, but would like a resuable filter.

This is what I mean:

Ralliart NZ :)

Call Bill and tell him I sent you

[Robotnik123]

Yes I shall do that. I was reading a thread on here where someone said Ralliart NZ uses K&N or some other brand in their cars, so I assumed they may not stock their own filters.

Hello
Regards to your air filter I would have to order it from Japan, it will take 4
to 6 weeks to get here. You are looking at $112.50 including freight and
GST. Let me know if you would like to order one, if yes I would need a 50%
deposit.
Thanks Bill

Am still waiting for a reply from my email to Mexted Motors. It is a lot for just a piece of foam in a rubber frame, but anyway, I reckon I'll probably get it.

[Robotnik123]

Got the following back from Mexted Motors:

This part has never been stocked in NZ, so I have requested price and availability from Japan. This may take 2-3 days, but as soon as I hear back, I will be in touch.
Receiving stock from Japan usually takes 10-15 working days in most cases.

Thanks for your enquiry.

Should we do a group buy?? :P

[bradc]

I'll call Bill and ask him

[bradc]

For 6 of them, he will give us a discount, dunno how much yet but he will get back to me.

In the mean time, can we have confirmed orders for them? I'll get everyone to put them into my bank account, then walk down the road to Bill and give him cash. I'm guessing the final price will be in the $90-100 range.

Sounds like there are 3 people here interested, and I'll get one for the ST-R, so that gives us 4?

[Robotnik123]

[d i c k i e s]

ill be in. dependant on final pricing.

[bradc]

ok, you're edited in as well :)

[Ryan]

Hmmm, I wonder how it compares with my K&N.

[Kenneth]

Hmmm, I wonder how it compares with my K&N.

the ralliart foam filter is dry, so no oiling. It comprises of 3 layers of different density foam which I assume progressively filters the air.

If you are keen to take a look at one, I have one in the Legnum you can come take a look at.

[Ryan]

I did read with interest Bernmc's article on K&N filters... I imagine that the K&N would have a higher flow rate than the Ralliart, perhaps at the cost of filtration efficiency?

I noticed that the throttle responded faster once I had installed the K&N. Ideally I'd like a compromise between the two which I think the Ralliart filter might offer. That said, I've already spent $170 on the K&N and would be loathe to replace it.

I'd be happy to have a look at your filter though :)

[VR4 MAD]

Brad,

Count me in too........provided it doesn't end up more than about $120.

It's likely (going by the speed of past progress with my mods), that it'll be awhile till I get my cold-air box made, so I'll need a replacement panel filter in the meantime.

The wait time till they are here is not a problem.

That cool...............:pimp2:

[bradc]

Wynn, you're in now too :)

[bbunnys]

Id be keen for one of these so count me in to if its no to late.

[bradc]

[dka113]

[Robotnik123]

can i join group buy too?

Definitely not too late for the group buy. Bradc is handling the details maybe PM him if he doesn't see your post, but most likely he will though.

[bradc]

yeah seen it, that means we're up to 8 now

[CANDEE]

Have you spoken to Bill @ Ralliart and confirmed the price Brad? :iloveyou:

[bradc]

he wasn't there today :(

Monday it will be!

[CJay]

Anyone know if this filter is washable or is it a throwaway design? My recent import had one fitted :2thumbsup

[CANDEE]

Hey Brad,

Have you spoken to Bill @ Ralliart for a final price?

Thanks,
J /pan

[bradc]

oh yeah kind of forgot about that!

Price is $100 even (well it's 95 per filter, but I'll pay for freight to you) and he has 8 of them coming.

First 7 people to pm me and then put the money in get them

[Rossco Type-S]

So what are everybody's thoughts on these filters. I assume they have arrived and are fitted.

Much of an improvement in throttle response?

[d i c k i e s]

Yes. quite good actually.

[Rossco Type-S]

I e-mailed Ralliart NZ on Monday and they quoted me $250. Damn exchange rate!

[BuzzPuppy]

So it's rocketed up that much since the exchange rate plummeted for NZ and AUS? Ouch. I'm in the need for a replacement soon!

[ANTHONY]

i'm happy with mine

[Robotnik123]

Can't say I ever noticed any difference in my car. Before putting the Ralliart filter in I had a newish FRAM paper filter from Supercheap. I wonder if those people who noticed the difference hadn't changed their filters in a while? Also my car is stock - I guess if I was running higher boost I might have noticed more of an improvement?
