GQ TD42 have them.
Easiest place to get them is a wrecker, but cost a few $$ normally.
GQ Patrol with a few bits and pieces.

its out of GQ 4.2, they are the Precleaner.

BUT....

Look at the outlet size, compared to the 3-4inch inlet... they are hideously restrictive. + they regularly crack down the bottom there where the outlet is.

Try the grenade one as mentioned.

I doubt it. Second hand they sell for $150-$250, new from Nissan they are about $350. What sort of dual battery tray are you running?

Have a look at the pics on HERE and see if your setup will allow the ZD30 box in. If its in a similar position to the drivers' side one, you might be pushing poo uphill.

Might be time for a revised dual battery tray!
