I have just purchased a K&N air filter (Part No. 33-2031-2)for my 99MY 5 door and unsuccessfully tried to fit it last night.
The filter fits in the air box, but I can't manage to get the air box lid back on properly, i.e. the lid hooked over the 3 lugs. Also the filter does not sit very well in the box. There are two gaskets supplied with the filter which are mentioned in the instructions which are for Nissan/Infiniti vehicles with cartridge type air filter housings only. These instructions refer to fitting the gaskets to a removable filter tray which my Scoob does not have.
Do I need to fit the gaskets to the inside of the airbox? Does anyone have any ideas?
I have checked with suppliers Falkland that the correct filter has been sent. They said the new filter should just slot in!!!

Lemmy,
I found the same sort of thing when I had my ITG.
It is a question of making sure that the bottom of the airbox is in place and just forcing the filter in - my ITG used to flex a bit because it wasn't quite the right size.
Hope this helps
