You guys & gals are great. A little tale about fitting a
snorkel. Back in Feb I posted a query about a
snorkel for a 1990 Nissan Terrano.
Well after much advice and searching I found one suited for ‘Terry” made by airflow. Then the installation, I can remember someone saying about drilling the first hole!!!!!!
Well after marking out the holes, drilling the holes and trying to fit the
snorkel the fun began. Question, how do you get a screw driver up into the top of the guard with a maximum clearance of 32mm? Answer you can’t. Solution off came the guard.
Having two batteries up front meant that the incoming hose to the canister didn’t fit. Solution, drill another hole in the inner guard lining up the
snorkel with the canister. Problem solvered. Day and a half later Terry rolls out of shed with his
bright new
snorkel. I am glad I had a go, I know some of you would be saying he is mad but I did it.
Now that we are prepared we’re of to
Cape York in early July. So I just ask you big boys who are going up as
well, look out for us little guys because we can almost, and in some cases further, go where you go. If by chance you see a
champagne Nissan Terrano, with a new
snorkel, from SA with a Tassie Tiger on the back say Hi. Looking forward to a great time. Final note keep up the great forums, they are so helpful and sometimes down right funny even though some are testing.

Hi Raindeer!
Thanks for the info on
snorkel. Manual covers only the engine. And after having a closer look I'm a bit disappointed with the fact that they don't go in to much detail on things. Book is mainly on cylinder head and block, and on the fuel pump, about third of the book is for the fuel pump (like I'm gonna ever take it apart!) But it's got handy details as
well in it. Better than nothing for sure. There is no manual for the whole car as such. After speaking to the guy where I bought book for the engine, he told me it is available for $700 and it's on Japanese. So if you know Japanese and have a $700 to
fork out there's your manual! : )
Anyway, if you need some info on the engine, I'll be happy to look it up!
Cheers!!!
