No drama's bloke,
It was a very open weave on the pod itself so it let some pretty hefty particulates through!
You could probably see if there is a pod 'sock' available to sort of slide over the pod inside the canister and that would help heaps.
I never worried as i wanted the flow and the beast was a race car by this time.
Steve.
you might have solved this with a panel filter, and also if the pipe from the snorkel connected to the panel from underneath to stop heavy particles from entering the filter
also, did you use pod filter oil?
Hi,
As said in above reply, you could use a pre filter from a different patrol. I recently did a straight LPG conversion, using a TB-42E manifold, some piping connected to an RD-25/30 pre filter, then hooked directly to my 4" stainless snorkle. Here are some pic's that I hope will help you with doing yours. The piping in pic's I hve since had replaced with 1 piece of steel pipe made up at the exhuast shop.

Yep thats what i did this time Random.Originally Posted by Random
I used the same filter as the one in the missus WH Grange ( HSV Stato) it works killer and doesnt look to bad either, plus i can plumb both my snorkels to it.
Here's a pic,
Not bad for a amatuer!! hehe
Steve.
Do u need to take it over the pits after these kind of mods or is thatjust for chassis changes etc?
@ et 4wd do u have 2 alternators on there mate, must some powerful spotties!

Nah Pirate it dont need to go over the pits for puttin a snorkel on it or for changing ya filtration set-up, but the engine conversion it will!..
Yep got some powerful spotties alright! have 2 X35W HID lightforce 240's and 2 X 70W HID lightforce XGT converts. and 2 X 35w HID H4 replacements of the 6000k variety in the 'crystal lights' ( headlights) all that uses less power than the original headlights!
The second alt is a 24V jobbie that is only used for charging the winch batteries!....makes it go real fast!
Steve.
I just finished my mk 2 alloy filter box, only been in a couple of days seems to work well, time shall tell. Snorkel to come later.

Very tidy mate! Well done!!
Thanks Bigrig
hey ive got an increase in power too! really noticable on the gas. I can remember a gasman checking the oxy sensor with his meter and saying the pod filter was too free flowing and it made the gas run lean, wherehas the genuine nissan airbox would be better. He advised putting an extra sock over the pod filter to add more restriction.
My new box must be restricting air flow back to factoy setting as I use the inlet hole through to the guard.
