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

For a bar try 4X4 supplies @
Gawler SA. He has one to suit for $400.

Hey i third that notion. If you manage to source any of the above i'd like to know about it. I'd really like a bull bar for mine to protect the front end a bit.

Use the exploroz search engine - there were a number of thoughts on this a while ago - maybe 12 - 18 months - also East Coast Bullbars in Qld do nudge bars and bull bars -ecb.com.au - give them a try -

Can't help with
snorkel but as for bar, find one that fits the front & get an engineering place to change the mounting brackets to suit as you won't find a commercially made one to fit as there aren't enough terranos around to make it worth there while.Regards Bob

Try a phone call to Opposite Lock in
Brisbane. (Even just for the info)
From memory (now that's a worry nowadays) they fitted one to a mates '91 model. I think it came from a Triton or a Courier or something like that.
Let us know how you go
Good luck

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.

Duncans 4WD at Wandin Show had an Airflow
Snorkel which they had advertised as fitting Navarra/Terrano for $275. Intend to follow up myself.
