How to fix "Safari Snorkel" on Nissan Patrol 4.8L

Post by ChrisAfrica »

Gents,
Just back from Benin/Niger - Parc P and Parc W and has realised that the raining season is coming....

So I got myself a Safari Snorkel SS18HF to fit on my Nissan Patrol 4.8L Y61 GU4 yr 2010.

But I am unsure on how to fix it - can anybody help with a few underhood pics or a "how to guide" with some drawings. :helpsign:

Thanks,

Chris

Hi there
I am far away form my 4.8 but did you get the template for the cut out?
The stuff under bonnet stays the same
It connects inside the fender :think:

Hi Tinus,

Yes, I got the "cut out" template - It is the "It connects inside the fender" bit that I am unsure about :confused:

Would like to see a few pics before I start cutting ...

Cheers,
Chris

You have to remove the liner to connect the tube which comes from the big hole :surprised: you've cut in the fender to your existing air intake in the engine bay.
