They do make one. Get one off ebay or from autobahn. Or just stick with paper.

stick with paper, otherwise its going to get oil gunk all over the MAP sensor.

d22 zd30's have a map sensor, yd25's have a maf sensor, patrols also have a maf sensor. i don't know why you'd be worried about getting oil on a map sensor... they measure pressure in the manifold, they shouldn't get oil on them at all because they're not in the direct air flow into the motor.
maf sensor yes, but map sensor no...
its not just the oil. k&n let through more dust. the dust really fouls up mafs. but also adds to wear and ends up in the engine oil.

I agree with the comment but I reckon it does not really matter if most of your driving is on road, lots of dirt tracks in convoy etc are a different story.

should get slightly more power anyway by just changing to a fresh filter.

As mentioned above, the general consensus seems to be for dirt driving a paper filter is a lot better for your motor than a k&n. On a road car its not as much of a problem, but in severely dusty conditions people in the patrol forum that have used them have found a dust film on the maf sensor and inside the inlet piping to the turbo

Wouldnt reccomend it for dusty work...it lets a little too much thru..on road its fine..i use mine not oiled..i have one of those socks for the snorkle to keep the fine dust under control.
Camo, that's what I was thinking about doing getting a sock for the heavy dust use.
just want a little more when towing the 4x4 camper.

You will definatly get more air and noise!! Its a pretty simple job to hook one up.i cut up my air box to do it tho..no turning back now.technically it creates a bottleneck at the filter as the filter is slightly smaller than the maf sensor pipe but the turbo inlet is smaller again..sock works well..just wash the filter when you get it if its pre oiled.

I basically did it to totally seal up the intake right up to the snorkle head.wasnt confident in sealing the factory box unless it was dipped in sikaflex.
