    Install/Upgrade to 4" Snorkel (recessed) and new Pod Air Box

    Replacing my 3" Safari snorkel with a 4" SS recessed snorkel and will also install a new airbox (w/K&N 9" pod filter).

    Getting tools together to cut out 4" clearance hole thru inner guard and also the elongated hole req'd in the guard for placement of recessed snorkel. Might buy an air operated "Body (panel) Saw" to open out the entry holes.



    Aluminium template is provided with the air box, that can be secured/bolted in place against inner guard and can be used as a guide to cut / enlarge the box entry hole. Yes could use hole saw set up but don't have suitable size. Need to also cut out a section of the radiator shroud/cowl as well.

    Any one used a body saw for panel cutting and how do they finish off job?

    Could buy a nibbler but thought the body saw may be a good tool option and produce less metal corrosive chips/swarf that could prove difficult to remove.

    We’ve got one of these if either of you need to borrow if ever passing through @Bidja & @Hodge, AB had good success on his snorkel efforts I believe mates.

    Nibblers are often used for this job. Thanks for the offer Mark, maybe an excuse to drop in for a while and catch up when I get all the bits together mate if suits.

    Yeah i stuffed around and struggled for a couple ofhours before i popped the flare. It opened it right up and made the job 10 times easier. Pop the flare. Even if you break the clips they are cheap.

    I used a set of yellow, green and red tin snips to cut the recess by hand.

    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.

    Thought you popped the flare when you were in close proximity to a neighboring a bull bar?

    Good job with the snips there mate.

    Buy the way, checked out Supercheap for lip seal removal hook tool(front inner axle seal), was going to make one out of 3mm plate, but they sent me an email yesterday and said they hadn't seen me for a while and gave me $10 credit voucher for use by COB today. So just then, went online and bought one from them $13 (sweet as).

    Mill from Millweld uses the "flexi duct" as solid is difficult (lots of job time), to install solid pipe thru inner guard void. I will be going solid pipe section with silicon bend to airbox.
