have a look.....yes you rod

Good idea

Just done a similer set-up on my safari, i have a 4" pipe poking through the firewall behind the glove box.

So if there is a funny smell its the motor (not you?)

is your safari gunna be legal doddzee? is it legal to just go boring holes through the firewall like i didnt want to go and cert that. so i did it that way....holy crap with your engine and that pipe its gonna be one noisey truck inside lol i didnt bother with a airfilter on top A: because there not going to be any dirt down it where it is and B: theres a filter in the engine bay and C: i couldn't find one for that smaller pipe.......no jerry the smell would probably be me

Yip its going to be noisy but im going to have half doors over the summer so im sure there will be louder things than the intake, e.g. the howling of 37's

I checked sith my certifier and he said chop away so i did, i have removed all the fan and heater stuff so there is heaps of room for a airfilter set up back there.

so do you have to cert it or can you do it without cert....im just uploading pics now

Sorry dont know i just asked him if i was allowed didnt ask if it was a cert issue.

lol ok....il just take it to a dodgy place for a wof lol....know of any?

Na not really.

The guy i get my warrants off is fairly leniant to us for thing like mud tyres hanging 2" out of the guard as he knows we will just go home and change them to road tyres and back again, but safety and cert issues need to de done right.

If its a hole away from a major structural point then it probly wont be a problem.

yea it is its behind the fire wall and the thickness of the steel was like 2mm sheet steel i wouldn't have though it was structural if you click on the outerlimits link there is now phots on there

do you want me to actually post the photos on outerlimits?? Pretty sure all you have to do is right click on the photo in your album, click properties. There will be a URL address I think. Highlight that and right click save. When you are in outerlimits, post message then hit the [IMG] button, paste the address, then close it by hitting the [IMG*] button again. hit the preview message and the photo should be there. Hope that isnt confusing??
Same way i post pictures on here.

Dont worry, I got bored and did it for you

I want the right holes in the right places, not random holes

What if I then hooked up the pipe to my air conditioner, be like a blower

yea i was thinking that to...me and red_zuki lol.....yea if you go to HCD on the hutt road petone and go and get 1m of 64mm flexi hose (hes got 1m left) and a hose clip to suit and bring it round ive go the right size holesaw and everything waiting way cheaper than a snorkel and it does the same job let us know if you wanna do it some time rod

oh yea and thanx lilpig sorry im a bit dum when it comes to computers

Sweet I'm up for it. Might have to filter it so my engine dosen't die from lung cancer.

if you go and buy the hose and bring it round ii will do it for you...no need for a filter.... theres one in the engine bay

Have you heard? Marty (Stinky) has seen the light and bought a Vitara :cheers:

WHAT?? do tell :scratch:

He rang me and said that he had seen the light and purchased a vitara, wanted to know if I wanted to come down to have a look.

I am however taking some licence with the above statement.

More like hes seen the dark

Whats he gonna dp with the nissan? sell it to me rea;;y cheaply so I can put the diffs in the rover

Since those mudzillas wont fit, ill buy those

Ummm he didn't mention selling the Safari (truckie as he calls it). Mite use the the Vitara as a self propelled winch or something. Bolt it to the bonnet hehehe

lol.... so do you wanna do that thing on your zuk rod...if so call up HCD and get them to put that hose away for you

Why are there concerns about smell and dust? I figure that an air intake only sucks air. What am I missing?

When the vehicle sits for a while, you can get intake fumes come back through the filter etc. Not huge amounts but possibly enough that you notice it when you get into your vehicle. Can make for exciting times if your engine backfires as well - not much of a concern for efi engines... And dont leave anythig loose in your glovebox area, like rags.....

Not sure what the V6 ones are like offroad....

Dark side huh needed a work hack but short of space so I got the Vitara as it fits under Truckie

Nice work with the intake MrOffroader

glad to see you didnt stick it into the glovebox like somebody I know that did it 20 years ago.....before he noticed things were going missing from the glovebox

yea lol.....is it legal tho i dont wana have to pay a big fat check for a cert and a repair done by a certified welder and all the rest of this revenue collecting shit bucause i drilled through a peice of sheetmetal and stuck a hose through it or should i just disconnect it at the air box when i go for a warrent and go to a hory wof place? this is my idea....seems to be the best so far

cheers guys
