Not a lot on air filters in the archives on this subject, would like to hear peoples opinions on after market air filters. Am trying to decide either a K&N or a Donaldson to put in the MU before heading to
Darwin. The best price for a K&N so far is $170, have not yet priced the Donaldson, any opinions appreciated.
Bruce. Looking forward to the end of June,

I think you will find the Donaldson will serve you
well.
Been around diesel engines most of my life, particularly in high HP, they are standard fit, and often are copied.
Provided you follow their instructions to the letter, they can also be washed.

Not seeing a
snorkel on your car, you mean a Donaldson Air box etc.. NOT CHEAP.
I use genuine NIssan filters at $19ea, they work the best, I also have K&N etc replacements for the ORM main filter, and the precleaner, but never been impressed with them.
Donaldsons on the top of snorkels work
well, and are cheapish at $130ish

i have a unifilter on the navra diesel and no problems as yet quite happy and the oil is cheap and you need bugger all easy to clean.
used re-usable filters for years on my dirt bikes-mostly 2 stroke and they worked a treat actually more air on most (add holes to air box ) and saved a hell of a lot of money (on filters any way spent the saving s on tyres chains gears and god knows what else).
should have got a 4by sooner hey.
but as i said so far so good.
im looking at the fuel filter alternatives as we speak.
Nissan have enough of my hard earned already.
