Navara Snorkel

Post by Navara_Man »

im looking for a snorkel for my 87 nissan navara/datsun.....watever you wana call it!

now can you just pull one off a terrano and fit it on to the datsun or are they slightly different ???
im pretty sure the air intake is on the right hand side of the engine bay looking at the ute from the front????

its got dunlop super grippers on the rear but they arent very wide, was thinking of putting them on the front and getting some wider wranglers or maxis muddies for the rear???

any ideas???

Look at it this way, the longer the pipe, the bigger it needs to be to supply the same amount of fluid (air being a fluid). So what size is the inlet then increase that by about 15 to 20mm at least and you'll be OK.
