I have looked around on the forums for a bit now and hadn't found any clear answers so tried it out myself and wanted to let everyone know that this works.

If you are looking for a cabin air filter for you wgnc34 series 2 I found that the filter from the Nissan Pathfinder R50 or Infiniti QX4 works. Below is a installation guide and comparison of filters

Open your glove box, squeeze the sides in to get it around the edges, disconnect the little white plastic clip at the back attacked to a string.

There are 4 screws on top and two on either side of them glove box

Remove the glove box from vehicle

Remove little metal clip on the bottom and pull filters out.

Here are 3 Side by side comparisons of old filter and pathfinder filter. As you can see they are the same size, except slightly thinner

For those in Canada you can pick this filter up from your local Canadian tire. Please post in the reply what the part numbers are for your country (FRAM FILTER CF10555)

I'm sure this is the same for R34 skylines as well

For us in Australia, it can be bought from Supercheap Auto and any other store that stocks Ryco filters. Not sure how many will have it in stock in store... Supercheap don't seem to have them normally, but they can order it in.

Ryco RCA318P

Nissan OEM part number: AY685NS003

(Found - as it is the same as the R50 Pathfinder as mentioned above, just a little thinner.)

Bumping this because it is national you-might-be-running-aircon-through-disgusting-filters awareness day.

Did this the other day in my Series 2 Stagea. I was sufficiently disgusted. I presume the filters were changed some time in Japan going by the stickers in the glovebox, but I don't think they have seen any attention since. It's super easy to swap so really no excuse there. The Ryco RCA318P filters that James mentioned seem fine.

My lesson learned: try out the fan before screwing everything back in. I had old leaves and shit in the compartment when I took out the old filters. Brushed it it out but didn't vacuum. Put it back together with the new filters, turned on the fan and was blessed with a generous sprinkling of dusty debris. I presume vacuuming may have avoided it. Maybe.

 

This guide has great photos and steps to follow:

Attached is a comparison of the old and new filters. Though photos don't quite do it justice. There is this human instinct to get closer and smell things that look wrong. These looked bad enough that I didn't.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
