4.2 TD DTS Aftermarket Kit Air Filter Question

Hi,

I have a 92 Patrol with a 4.2 that has had a DTS Kit fitted by a previous Owner.

It has the annoying habit of breaking the air filter brackets on the exhaust and inlet manifolds that support the Air Filter Cast Alu can.

The Casing wobbles and vibrates quite a bit at idle to 1000/1050 rpm and is then smooth all the way to full nana. I tried to up the idle a bit but obviously can't crank it up all the way till its smooth.

Has anyone else encountered these problems or does anyone have an idea what sort of separate filter assy I could mount under the bonnet even if I have to move the coolant expansion tank a bit to achieve this.

The wagon has a Charge Air Cooler where the condenser for the AC used to be and a snorkel.

Thanks in advance for your replies/advice.

A airbox out of a gu patrol would benefit you mate. Get one out of a 4.2turbo and 3.0turbo diesel.

Thanks, Could you recommend a wreckers or anyone wrecking them who I could contact to get one please?

Where are you located mate?

Your best bet would be to just trawl forums, eBay and gum tree etc.

Hi,


Thanks,

I am located in Germany at mo as I am at work, My Nissan is at home in Northland NZ in my garage.

I have a mate on the Gold Coast who will chase this up for me and has asked me if I have any idea of the part number

Should I just ask him to find a complete can/ hoses etc off a 4.2 Turbo GU Patrol?

You could have a look at an airbox from Patroldocta

Hi,

Would any member who has a Patrol with the afore mentioned Nissan Air Filter Can installed please be so kind as to post a pic or two of it.

I am baffled by some of the answers from wreckers in both Aus and NZ when asking what they have so if I have a photo to send it will just be a case of- Does it look like this?

Patroldocta.com did not have the courtesy to respond to my e mail so far.

AB and Winnie both have that box mate, pm them if they dont respond here.

Hi,

Is that the complete can to mount on the LH Inner Guard of my Patrol so the snorkel goes on one side and other to Turbo compressor?

Yes goes into the spot of the pre filter from factory and picks up the safari snorkel.

AB can you post one of your engine bay showing the box mate?

In that pic the bottom tube goes through the inner guard to pick up the snorkel and the top pipe goes to the intake system

Sorry bud don't have any on my phone and I'm not home.

On my Patrol the snorkel comes in fwd on the inner guard and has a flexible hose connecting to the DTS Can so I would like to get one that can accept the connection from that snorkel arrgt if it is available.

Hey mate when you say forward of the guard I assume you mean like the second set up below which is the same as my set up?

Maybe wang some photos up of your current set up to help others members understand what your current set up is...

Hi,

I don't have a photo of it looking straight into the engine bay, I have asked the guy who looks after my house to try and take a few but I do have the following 3 photos.

From LH Outside showing Snorkel, it goes through the inner guard in approx posn where coil is shown in your first photo.

Attachment 44521

This one shows the underside of the DTS Can, It is the bracket in the photo that has caused the most problem with breakages, the red hose goes from Compressor to charge air cooler inlet pipe.

Attachment 44522

Top View, the Snorkel connects to the square shaped thing by a flexible hose and the rubber one below is the compressor inlet that is supplied from the middle of the air filter can on it's underside. It is the casting that the bracket that gives the most problem is bolted to.

Attachment 44523

Here is my set up using the patroldocta airbox.


Very simple to install and you'll be able to connect up the snorkel to airbox as shown.

They are expensive though so if time is no problem then as matty mentioned keep your eye out on Ebay for the nissan version second hand. They are rare but do pop up from time to time from people upgrading.

Hi,

Looks like just the ducks nuts.

What do you call expensive? I have had some pretty healthy numbers for ones that wont fit.

PM me the numbers of you don't want to broadcast it

Sorry bud I completely forgot about this...

Honestly I cant exactly remember but I think around the $400 mark.

Hi, I have had a price around that for one for a Gas engine patrol one.

Can I order the correct one through you ?

Hey mate I don't sell any products.

Click on parts at the top of the forum and email Patrolapart. They are sponsors on here and will sort you out no probs.

Make sure you tell them you are from nissanpatrol.com.au and they'll look after you. That's where I got mine from.
