Nowt wrong with being Welsh, I am one myself........ Love the idea of the air intake up on the roof, following this one with great interest. It's great to see someone who looks past the end of their nose and tries something different. Good on ya bud!!!!
Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

In no way did I mean to be discourteous. Just voicing my thoughts. Everyone to their own. Good luck with modification.

I think it's a pretty cool mod, I'd have one myself if you didn't have to have the tube run through the interior. Roof vent should look awesome!

Looks a bit funny IMO but good to see someone thinking outside the box! Just a couple of questions 1. In the firewall or bulkhead as you called it, where you cut out the hole those 2 smaller holes were was that for a/c or the heater ? 2. Are you going to dress the ducting tube inside the cab? 3. Are you going to cap the snorkel so it doesn't fill up with water/ snow ?Personaly i would have made it out of stainless steel and used mandrel elbows or intercooler hose but each to their own and good on ya bud.
Oh and will it interfere with the sunroof??

"Firewall" those 2 holes are I guess where A/C pipes would go through, no need for A/C here lol
Yep when it's all clipped in and finalised it'll be dressed, not sure what with yet, waiting to see what the garage pixies find next
Stainless would have been the mutz for sure but bloody expensive. That's pretty much why I'm doing it this way really, snorkels for the Trol cost over 200 quid here. Intercooler hose again nice but still pricey. This stuff is pretty smooth to be fair and as I found out tonight it's quiet, no turbulence evident.
Sunroof works fine, it's a simple lift up jobbie.
When the roof scoop is on and blended in it'll be stealth snorkel .
As for rain and snow , well yes it will go in but I've got a water drain gland to fit to the Nissan plastic intake pipe in the engine bay, just at the firewall, as that's the lowest point. It's a standard Nissan rubber thing that lets water out but not air in. Got one off a Nissan Terrano air box.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
