Hi bro, I am selling UTR Performance stainless steel drop-in air filter for most Japanese and Korean cars. My company is Terminal 2 International LLP. Maybe you can PM or email me to get more info on my air filter.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Yes bro. Hurricane one will warp and tear. Mine did. I changed mine to Bro M.K Tang's. So far so good. Maintenance is quite easy. I just vacuum it once in a while and its as good as new.

Hi bro. Does the K&N 33-2375 High Performance Replacement Air Filter  really help with the pickup? Sometimes when moving off.. if i step hard it will rev till 2.5k. I was looking for something to make the pickup smoother and not so noisy.... will this do the trick? Iszzit this one http://www.amazon.com/33-2375-High-Performance-Replacement-Filter/dp/B000SATBKM/ref=au_pf_pfg_s?ie=UTF8&Model=Versa%7C2862&n=15684181&s=automotive&Make=Nissan%7C67&Year=2007%7C2007&vehicleType=automotive&newCar=1&carId=001 ?

actually, aftermarket filter helping in pickup is quite minimal.

i am using apexi cotton filter, frankly speaking, doesn't feel much different from stock.

for me, the only cheap mods so far that makes a difference in pickup are,

3-drive throttle controller and light weight rims.

and like they say, power doesn't come cheap.
so take all our feedback on cheap mods with a handful of salt  ;D

i dont feel much difference but thats the easiest diy mod... Yes, thats the one K&N 33-2375. Try using 30 engine oil or vpower/98 ba :). I can feel their difference. Your pickup rough/noisy is because its due or close for servicing? Not an expert but thats my experience.

no harm doing it if you haven't done it before, but take note of the below,

1) don't expect too much.
2) go to workshop with nissan consult 2 if you wanna do throttle cleaning, else might have problems if CEL comes on.

can try bro kelvin workshop at amk autopoint since he have the diagnostic tools now.

as for your rough pickup, are you talking about the lag when you accelerate due to ours being electronic throttle cable? if yes, try installing the pivot 3 drive  :devil2:
