Question P11 GT induction kits!

I'm gonna buy an induction kit for my P11 GT I want a decent jap item (Apex-i, HKS or Blitz) as opposed to a K&N item. Has anyone used any of these items on the same car? Which do you recommend?

I've ordered the HKS Super Power Flow intake which is being fitted
21st Sept (same day its booked on the rolling road) & hopefully
it will compliment my HKS Superdrager & HKS Air/fuel regulator.
I'm aware that the HKS filter isnt the best cleaner but least I'll
know what the performance gain is. I'll keep u posted.

How much does the HKS induction kit cost? (supply only). Does the HKS fuel / air regulator make a noticeable difference to your car and how much are they? Finally, where do you get the HKS stuff from?

The Powerflow kit is £155+vat which I'm buying from
"Japanese Tuning" who've got the dyno.
The AFR is £90+vat which I bought 2nd hand from Kev (P11-GT on AF)
Its fitted but I'm waitng for the intake so I can set it up on
the rolling road, so its set to standard for now.
The exhaust I bought from Middlehurst Nissan (up your way!)

boys boys!! i had a HKS superpower flow filter, mind you, i didnt think much of it. For that price, pay a little extra and get the HS CAI, its much better.

Ok so it isnt the absolute best in the world, BUT how good is the 57i k&n induction kit??, any hp increase?, better top/bottom end, sound? at £70-80 it seems a little cheaper than the other kits, so it probably isnt as good, but is it any good?

Does anyone have any dyno proven figures for the CAI ??
by that I mean before & after.
My plan is to fit the Powerflow & dyno the car straight away, this
way I'll have some true before & after figures (if the powerflow doesnt have a decent increase, then I'm not having it !)

Chris

as I have used both... with the K&N there is a noticeable difference in the sound and a slight difference in performance...hardly noticeable though......now I've only got half the CAI on and it already sounds better and performance change is also noticeable.....
