oil filter & K&N typhoon
Is there a good aftermaket oil filter? Or Should I use dealer oil filter.
Can anyone tell me if K&N makes a cold intake for 1990 300zx 2+2. I went to the website, no luck. I just think it is hard to believe they not have it on the website.

The K&N oil filter is pretty good, but OEM will suit you fine as well. About the intake. K&N does make an intake for your car. Check this out:

OEM filter is the best oil filter for the car. DO NOT get any wal mart or k mart brand oil filter!! They are absolute ****!!
K&N filtercharger is what I have in my 2+2. So they do make it. I only wish I had paid that ebay price though!

Yea, the K&N filterchargers are a pretty good deal on ebay. Also, how about K&N oil filters...they may cost a little more, but they are pretty good. Whatever you do, don't get fram! Walmart filters were ranked higher than theirs!! And here's how to install the K&N intake if you choose to go that route.

Yeah, what's the deal with FRAM. I've been using them on my Z's for 9 years. I've been told to avoid the K&N oil filters by a local mechanic, but I really don't know him from Adam, so I wasn't really listening. Do you have some support to your advise?

Considering Fram uses "CARDBOARD" in their filters, I would consider them bad. Read over those comparisons, they provide a great amount of information.
thanks emo for that link, that's the link I was going to post.

thats up to you. If you like the aluminum intake tubes go get em. They're only cosmetic and don't provide any performance benefit.
As for the filter itself, that's an easier one. Jim wolfe, stillen or k&n are top notch. I'd stay away from the foam filters. Impossible to clean. The jim wolfe is basically a K&n with a velocity ring. The stillen is basically a rebadged jim wolfe + $.

Napa has a new oil filter out now. It's supposed to decrease the turbulence inside the oil filter. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are in the commerical. I like those guys, but I don't know how much they know about oil filters. Anyone have an opinion on these new oil filters? The theory behind it seems to make sense, but it also depends on what they use for filter media.
