Soni have finally sorted this out today. I had a go a couple of years ago and cut the slot but bought the wrong filter.
I pulled the glove box out to change rear cameras and while its out i got this sorted.
So using this thread i went into Repco and got a price for the right Ryco Cabin filter. $96! WTF!! So while still in Repco i called Nissan and got a price for OEM. $60.... spoke to old mate at Repco and he was gobsmacked. I told him to have another go.... how does $40 sound? Be in tomorrow! Sold.
So a couple of important things i learned.
The filter is actually a 2 piece split filter.
The filters sit on top of each other.
Here is the slot you have to cut out with a sharp knife.
2 Filters
Now one side of the filters has a little raised face, kind of castlated. You need to fit the top filter first and it goes in then up into position. Then the bottom slides in. Castles to the top ans bottom ans they lock in.
Check how the labels look.
Then 3 layers of gaffa tape holds them in.
Easy as. 5 minutes or less to fit. The entire glove box is held in by 7 Phillips head screws and it drops out in a couple of minutes.

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 can also get a single pannel filter . i think i got mine from nissan from memory ( about 5 years ago now , probably time for a change ). no clips or anything to hold it in place , i just srewed a ss screw into the plastic to hold it in place .
Is it only for gu4 & onwards or do all gu patrols have a slot for the filters.

It is for all GUs, one just have to cut a slot in the aircon/heater assembly housing where filters go. Easy done as it has a rise in it so can be traced with sharp knife aka box cutters.

Genuine Nissan part is also 2 piece p/n B727C-79925.
I got mine 5 years ago but at that time they listed 2 part numbers and the parts monkey couldn't figure out the difference between them in the end it was 1x kit with 2 sets and 1x kit with 1 set. The securing clip is extra.
The funny thing was when I asked the monkey for the filters he said they're not available for Nissan Patrol and insisted on it all the while there was a sign listing the models for these climate filters and Y61 was proudly mentioned among others like Pulsar, Maxima etc....so I just turned the sign towards him and asked what is Y61?
Anyway, here the install instruction from aftermarket Mann filters, cause in clean Europe they need cabin filters but in dusty Australia we don't, LOL.

Gaffa tape works a treat. They're not going anywhere

I Called Nissan and once they gave me the price i asked it it was a single or a twin filter. Twin filter it was. Happy days.

Nice link.
Yes the first one o bought was for a Pulsar maxima and clearly is not the right one. It is about 35mm wide and will never go in.

Hi.
Is there a way to drop the bottom part of the evaporator box? I have undone the two visible phillips screws in the front and took off the pressure clip. The box can be forced down a bit to take a look inside (its dirty) but I could not understand from looking at it what had to be undone to fully drop it. I want to take the chance my dash is out to fully clean the evaporator.
I have also found the idea of adding a cabin filter wonderful, but that MANN code is for a Y61 specific filter, not available here. I would first have to find anything with close enough dimensions before committing on cutting the box.
