Ralliart Panel Filter Group Buy

[bradc]

As per this thread http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30127

I've ordered 8, and I'm getting one for the ST-R, so that means there are 7 left. They are $100 each unless you live in Auckland, then they'll be $95

They are a little bit cheaper than if you bought them normally through him. They were ordered on the 13th so they will be turning up middle of April hopefully. So you've got plenty of time to get the money to me :) Just pm me and I'll give you my bank account details, and let me know when you've put the money in.

So far we've got:

Paid:
Robotnik
Candee ------ these three guys are all getting theirs when Robotnik comes to Aucks to deliver the oil
VR4 MAD



Confirmed but not paid:
dka113 --------- can you confirm by the 20th please! If not I'll sell it to the next person who comes along.

Sent, Received, all happy

Myself
Kenneth

If anyone wants to pull out, don't worry about it too much, I'm sure I'll be able to sell your one to someone else :)

A 10hp power increase and a cooler sounding induction noise as the car's engine takes in air. Also these filters can be cleaned and reused, which is an advantage in the longer term: From Supercheap Autos a FRAM paper filter for the VR-4 costs $39 and needs to be replaced about every 20,000kms, so it won't take that long for the Ralliart filter to pay for itself.

[Oxamus]

brad sent you a pm.

[bradc]

got it and replied :)

[bbunnys]

Bradc just paid you sent a PM

[bradc]

put you into the paid list mate

[djb160]

What's ther filtration like? any idea?

[Robotnik123]

What's ther filtration like? any idea?

Dunno, but the guys on OZVR4.com seem to like it. You could ask there.

[bradc]

no idea, but it is a ralliart product, so it isn't likely to kill anything in a week!

[bbunnys]

What sort of power gains are people expecting out of theses

[bradc]

probably 5hp or so! I expect it will give my ST-R a bigger increase than a VR-4

[bradc]

Ok, got them today :)

I'll be posting them to

Candee
VR4 MAD
bbunnys

On monday, and obviously Robotnick is coming up for the weekend anyway, so we'll meet up then.

As for Kenneth and DKA113, when will you fella's be able to pay?

Ohh and there is one spare, so first person to get their money in wins :) Remember these are about $120 or something normally, so you're saving some money here.

I dont know about Wynn but im fine with you giving mine to John to bring back if he's sweet with that :) I also dont think Wynn is in that much of a rush to get his so I think he will be the same too :)

Sure no worries can bring your filter with your oil.

Can't see it being too big an issue to arrange pickup or delivery once I am back home in Welly, early week after next...

[CANDEE]

Cheers dude :) Will have to do a mini meet to sort it all out :P

[bradc]

cool, I'll keep the filters up here then :)

[VR4 MAD]

As Candee says, I'm in no rush so if that's cool, John can bring mine down too.

Gives us an excuse for another mini meeting.............../rally

[Kenneth]

[Kenneth]

You work there all the time?

Yeah, could do. Could go to an ATM and get you cash in that case.

[bbunnys]

Thanks mate I look foward to getting it. Are you sending via normal post or courier just so I know what to look out for.

[bradc]

Ken - half the time. I'll pop past sometime on Monday afternoon. If I don't make it during work hours I'll come around to your house.

Bunnys - courier

[bbunnys]

Hey Brad,

I just PM you the address again

[d i c k i e s]

do you still have 1 more brad?

[bradc]

Yes I do, PM me for the details Whenz

Bbunnys, got it mate, will be sending tomorrow

[VR4 MAD]

Hi Brad,

Just confirming that my filter can be passed to John (Robotnik123) for transport down here along with Candees filter and all the other stuff Johns bringing back for people down here..................../pan

Cheers for that.

/toycar

[bradc]

yep cool :)

[bbunnys]

Hey brad just got the filter. Thanks heaps for that.

Also does anyone know when it comes time to whats the best way to clean them

[KiwiTT]

Have you still got some left ?

[bradc]

cool, so no need to reply to your pm then :)

Richard - I have one spare, I'm guessing you want it? If so I'll put it aside and we can install it when you drop your old wheels off?

[KiwiTT]

Cool. Thanks Brad.

[bradc]

looks like I won't be able to make it when you're meeting up with Carsten early Saturday morning, can I come past your place sometime in the afternoon? Can you pm me your addy and cell number?

[KiwiTT]

Just hold the filter aside we'll meet up soon enough.

[KiwiTT]

Thanks Brad for helping me fit it. Got get some tools soon.

[KiwiTT]

Not sure I have noticed any difference yet. However the Paper filter was dirty.

Still better airflow in and out now will make it run better.

[Kenneth]

The ralliart panel filter is unlikely to make any noticeable difference. It would be interesting to test it at the next dyno day actually.

If it does flow more freely you should see a bit of an increase in your fuel economy.

Does it make extra induction noise at all??

[Kenneth]

I wouldn't expect it to make much difference there either. Never know though, it might make a bit more noise.

[KiwiTT]

If it does flow more freely you should see a bit of an increase in your fuel economy.Which will not be a bad thing, considering prices now :D

I re-tanked up straight after I put it in, so I will see how it goes.

[bradc]

My ST-R is a little bit louder with it, as for the power output, well when I last drove it the car was running on 91 and had the stock filter. Now it has 95 in it and the Ralliart filter and it is a little rocket ship

[bbunnys]

I found since ive put mine it power is same but my exhaust seems like it doesnt drone as much as it used to. Around 2000rpm it was very loud and my ears didnt like it but now seems not is bad. Could this happend or am just dreaming it. Cause I dont see how it could effect the exhaust like that.

[d i c k i e s]

so was the ralliart filter a good buy, performance wise it seem good or is it better in the long run?. ie dont have to change @ 20,000km or so

[bradc]

it is washable so you can use it forever

[d i c k i e s]

tru!, but performance wise... not really?

[miikka]

If someone has one extra filter left, I'd like to buy. As I understood, this would be a little bit cheaper than from RHDJapan, and it's 80-90 euros shipped to Finland.

PM me!

[bradc]

Got your PM miikka, I'll get a price for postage tomorrow hopefully

[miikka]

Got your PM miikka, I'll get a price for postage tomorrow hopefully

What's the situation with this? My stock filter needs changing soon and I'm wondering do I have to order the ralliart filter from rhdjapan and pay almost 100 euros :/

[bradc]

sorry, didn't do it Thursday last week, and Friday was a public holiday. I'll do it today.

[KiwiTT]

I seem to be getting better mileage out of the Ralliart Panel Filter. Not sure how much, but it does seem better.

I wonder if Candee or VR4 Mad have noticed any difference in their cars? I'll put my filter in this weekend. Am not expecting much, considering I already have a fairly new FRAM filter in there and last time I checked it was pretty clean.

[KiwiTT]

I just had a standard paper filter. You may not notice much difference.

Question, do you guys living in northern cities and towns like the Hutt, Wainuiomata and Porirua consider yourself Wellingtonians, or not really? I guess if you live in the Hutt say, you might not have any particular reason ever to go to Wellington City.

[bradc]

could call themselves South Aucklanders?

[Robotnik123]

could call themselves South Aucklanders?

Oh yeah, do peeps in the Franklin District consider themselves Aucklanders?

[bradc]

hmm, I normally say South of Auckland, or wave my hand in the general direction and vaguely say Pukekohe region :)

Im a wellingtonian - even though I live in Upper hutt(which is supposidly a city in its own right...) /pan

[bbunnys]

Now that ive just sold my legnum im thinking of putting the ralliart filter into my new car which is a daimante/magna wagon. I guess the air box is same as legnum one. Anyone know if its likely to be a problem.

[Gly]

if it fits its fine,
but im not sure its the same
