Good link Mark. Problem here is that I run dust daily unless wet roads. In my case use sock over snorkel and give it a shake or wash out.
The B series (non turbo of course) diesel in my SWB cruiser, had Donaldson cylindrical filter can on guard with their clear cyclonic pre filter on top. Great job.
Best for catching grass hoppers etc and the dust and just undo and tap out. Would use same pre filter if was considered suitable for turbo diesel application. Any ideas anyone?

Could be considered contentious John mate but I do prefer my utes rear facing Millweld 4” snorkel. Wouldn’t have it any other way out on snow trips especially and have never been happy with our wagons forward facing ‘Airtec’ that requires pulling over in serious rain...pissy little drain hole that glogs on our dusty roads.

You mean a precleaner? A 4inch one is good up to 340cfm. They do one called Topspin. Same thing but with a propeller type inside it.

Good for up to about 400cfm, not sure what this equates to in Patrol language though. Both are very effective at catching dust before it enter the filter box. Sold heaps of precleaners and quite a few top spins in my time.
Valid points Mark, wet dirty sock would certainly not breath too well and with a snow blanket she would just choke up. Guess the drain in the air box with tap open (millweld) would prevent drowning but put the plug in if going for a drink crossing. Yeah not sure if all snorkels can be rotated rearwards. Something for me to think about. on the fly mod fit (90 Deg extended elbow).

Had an old mate down from Cairns last winter for a quick blast over Matlock area when a blizzard came through. Forward facing only ram design and his Cape York dust sock was the only thing that got him home with constant defrosting off. Still much better than ice/sleeting up the entire airbox like a block!

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.

For sure Gents, best to design them to spin if ever needed ;-)
