Lots of cars run NO filter such as ITB setups or intake horns and how many of them "fail" because of that? Engines are not going to have some sort of catastrophic failure because of excess dust getting into the engine. What WILL happen is oil contamination and excess wear on the internals as a result, and eventual loss of compression and power loss in the long run.

it's a G35, not a Datsun 240Z. i'm not worried about keepin' this car as a collector. it's my DD, if i did keep it for 20yrs+, i'd get a new engine anyway. i'm not sayin' not to run a filter, i don't even run the Blitz anymore. i was merely stating the fact that, that was one test done against only 2 filters that had any relevance. what if you ran it against a JWT, GReddy or Fujita and found simmilar data??? woulf those setups now rate an instnt e-lecture??? no... because realisticly it really doesn't matter. that was one test, that Jeff fell in love with, his "holy grail" of filtering knowledge. now, me on the other hand have lived in in Japan and seen 1st hand early 90's skylines running the Blitz w/o a hitch, hell i even saw them fittet to old-school skylines & fairladys. stop taking my words to the extream ends of the specrum to try & make ur point. we all get it. do you hound smokers & drinkers down w/all this drama???

it wasn't just other cars, i ran it on my '96 GTS25, i ran it on my G35. there you go going ot extreams again. in the whole scheme of things running a Blitz filter is far closer to the running a filter end of the spectrum vs the not running one side. i've always ran a filter, so that's what i recommend. what better evednce that real word proof??? apparantly, a vacum filter test holds more wieght in ur book. in that case you should check out the "turbonator", they do a great soda can demo. you've made ur point, your the "mod-police" we get it. we should all be stock, stop driving our G's and garge them for future posparety.

uhh, actully you can find alot of dirt stuck to the inside of ur plenum. my point being that out of the filters on that test done on a Supra, the Apex'i won, yes but there's not Apex aplication for the G. so who care's. it didn't put it against anything relevant to us no Stillen, JWT, Fujita, Nismo, AEM ect. hell, TopSecret uses the HKS filter... you here anything about their VQ's blowing up because of it??? he found one random article and now swears by it. i lived in Japan for 2yrs, a lot of people ran the Blitz w/o any problems. hell i did too, the only reason i changed to the R2C is because i pretty much got it for free.
