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.

I used to run a K&N, but now switched to AEM because they're dry and so much easier to maintain https://www.aemintakes.com/search/univcone.aspx.

With Detergent and water.
It's good to have 2 So you can swap them out without the need to give up the car for a few hours

$250 for air box in pic with pod filter is pretty good (in good condition?) but need 4" thru to be worthwhile. Looks like maybe offset pod filter or outlet pipe set off at angle. Get K&N 9"pod filter (straight flange) for $85-115. Bought K&N (KNRE-0890) today eBay $85.00.
Some more specifics on filter box type/design and pod type?

The bend is fine, it looks like it provides for good flow. Rule of thumb good idea to have at least 30mm o/a clearance between filter pod outside profile to box internal faces and to not obstruct/causing restriction to the in flow (less obstruction the better. Did he give U a brand name? Does it come with serviceable pod filter?
240 hp require good flow, ask him why he is changing out.
