Having trouble sourcing a
snorkel for my 1990 Nissan Terrano turbo diesel. Has anyone fitted one and can give me some help? Thanks

Raindeer,
Can't help you with a snazzy bought one. However, I know of people with other vehicles that have not had a
snorkel available and they've managed to get a custom made item made up (or have done it themselves).
The 2 methods I've seen have involved using PVC pipe and appropriate elbows etc plus a Safari or Air-tec ram head or Donaldson pre-cleaner
OR
for a bit of a better look you could do the same with stainless steel.
Both methods require 3" pipe. As for the under-bonnet fitting, you can get flexible ribbed-rubber hosing to go to your air filter box (the kind of rubber that concertina's around bends etc).
Hope this is of some help; although I know it's not what you were thinking of probably.
Cheers,
Roachie

Have seen a Navarra running round with one.Not sure of brand but as the Navarra has the same front end panels as a Terrano it should fit.May need to adapt connection under bonnet but this should be straight forward to any 4WD business that is willing to assist with "
grey imports".I am keen to get one myself. As far as bar work goes anything that fits a Navarra or Pathfinder will be OK.Once again dont be put off by business' who dont want to help with imports.I stood my ground and have a Terrano fitted out with Navarra and Pathfinder accessories that fit like a glove.
