unifilter for STR navara,finally!

Then maybe you should read this test done on a special machine in the US to ISO
It proves once and for all that the K&N are no good for non racing purposes.

Your not the same Ross who posted here?

With another link
sceptical of the K&N claims
and here is a test from 30 July 1996

If it is you, you really don't like them K & N Filters or after market ones.
Hmmm
I think you'll fine maintance is the key to everything.
Look after it and it will look after you. :-)

Yes it was me,and will I post up anything I think is relevant to the post subject.
What I post is based on some scientific findings rather than the nonsense claims about filters and fuel saver devices.

K&N or Unifilter have never posted any proof that their filter is better or lasts longer than the factory filter.
They rely on cheapskates to go on and on about how they save $30 each time regardless of the fact they maybe damaging their engine.
Have a look at those graphs in the link and tell me there is nothing wrong with what your using.

And I actually use a lot of aftermarke filters,just not the ones that vary in composition from the original.

"They rely on cheapskates to go on and on about how they save $30 each time regardless of the fact they maybe damaging their engine."

come on ROSS,dont tell me you have'nt anything on your vehicle that that isnt STANDARD? by putting something on your car or 4by that the manufacturer hasn't put there would be causing some sort of wear or stress.even wider tyres causes all sorts of things to wear out quicker.

Your presumption that I'm a 'Cheapskate' is wrong.
Many years ago I raced Cross Country Bikes and have built several V8's in my day. I have used washable filters for many years in Race application as well as normal driving conditions and when maintained they have served me well.
I have looked at the graphs and they are pretty.

To MarkG No, I generally refrain from modifications. I have he standard bull bar and split rim on my 75 series and my 73 series has some 31x10.5x15 and bullbar and thats about it.
I buy products that offer the same specs as Toyota where possible and go to the dealer if I cant get it elsewhere.
I also believe in replacing parts before they are totally stuffed.

To Hairs .
That is load of red herrings. As I said before,k&N maybe fine on the race track,im not argueing that.
Your V8 rebuild and motorbikes has nothing to do with filtration.

The graphs ,in case you couldnt understand them show the K&N and Unifilter losing its filtration qualities very early.
They also show they didnt have evry good filtration quality to start with
The K&N started the test with 96.8% compared to the AC/delco paper filter at 99.93%
But of course you raced dirt bikes once(yawn) and had a v8 (yawn)

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. :(
I did not listen to the gospel according to Ross, and AC/Delco.

Your mention that my V8's and Bikes has nothing to do with Filtration,
So please enlighten me Ross as to how they breathe in dusty environments. This is real life experiences. Again you presume, that i am of an intelligence incapable of understanding a couple of brightly coloured graphs. I'm happy you find some Solis in your graphs.
You obviously have a barrow to push. (Yawn)

Thanks for the info

thanks robin, its been a battle to get one. just the manufacturer slow to produce them i guess,
