I wont require that adaptor as I'll be tig welding a piece of Stainless about 50mm to the SS lid.
Just remember I have a mate up Sapphire way that works in a big Tractor dealer ship, Ive
emailed him regardind the rubber cobra 90. Nearly have all the bits sorted, saw that guy who wanted $150 for a few bits to convert the lid
But its easier for me to cut a new lid, piece of cake to seal it.
Its a lot of mucking around I hope the gains are worth while

Not sure if the out come will justify the expense, but it will look neater I hope
thinking about wrapping the boost and intake pipes in a thermal reflective bandage.
hoping that will keep gases going in cooler, even a little bit would help

The issue is the airbox itself, not the lid.. have you noticed when cleaning the filter that the majority of crap is concentrated right infront of the air box entry. If the airbox itself flowed well, the crap would be allround the filter.
IMHO, dont waste your time and money on a lid design. Put that towards an airbox that will actually perform.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Not sure if that theory is correct, yes in a standard air box lid the dust particles will form in a area very noticeable to the eye, But I would also suggest this is due to the restriction from outlet, for example simple testing by blowing from a larger inlet to a smaller outlet will always concentrate the airflow into a airflow zone area which is what we see when looking at a standard airbox without mods, allow a similar sized out let to inlet for airflow and there will still be 'pressure points's' but less restricted that we see on a ZD airbox as standard, therefore should allow better breathing of air and more circulation around the air filter than what we see in a standard airbox, ie bigger inlet smaller outlet, same size inlet same outlet..or less restrictive outlet, I think you can see what I am trying to say.

Yes mate, I do understand what you are saying, but I still stand by my comments (probably didnt word it so well), there are some good airbox setups on the market that will way out perform the zd30 configuration, modified or not.
