The brand is K&N,and yes it comes with the pod filter but before I could ask why he was selling it he got pissed of and basically said take it or leave it
Interesting that that pod is mounted towards the air so it filters from the inside out instead of outside in. Not sure whether that will effect its performance? Id have thought it will block sooner as any rubbish will sit inside the filter rather than the box. Leaf litter etc will ball up in the centre of that filter.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

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. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

You are spot on, its incorrectly mounted from a coarse filtration perspective.
Yeah, it is hard to see from the pic but the pod I bought for mine today has the flange to mount to outlet spigot pipe (being larger filter dia at this point) and at the inlet end being smaller dia which is capped off so that the inlet air is circulated around o/s of pod and thru to inside core for filtration.
PeeBee and MudRunnerTD, pick up on a point that prompted me to have another look at your pic. If you cannot fit a 9" pod filter with the smaller dia (blanked off) facing toward the inlet side (snorkel end), as show in my pic, I would not buy it.
I received mine as illustrated in the mail today, new (with out filter) $340. Filter cost is $85=total $425. This guy is self employed boiler maker and does a good job (I am pleased). Yet to install as waiting for 4" snorkel. You can buy similar thru Fatz Fabrication $680.00 complete. Mine is not powder coated (not an issue for me, as it depends on how it works that matters).
I am about to drop 5300 hundred on a new pump and turbo and that is more then pushing the limits of my budget so can I temporarily just put a pod filter just off the turbo until I work out my air box I really need to get my intercooler pipes in and the standed bix is in the way

It will work but not ideal as you will not be able to tune it like that or it'd be pointless tuning it like that i should say.
