Genuine Safari Snorkel - Nissan Patrol Y62 S5 VK56 This Safari Snorkel is designed to mount to the passengers side (left-hand side) of the vehicle, running up the A-pillar to raise your engine's air intake. A snorkel is an essential upgrade for any 4WD enthusiast, designed to protect your engine by providing it with the coolest and cleanest air possible, whether you're tackling dusty outback trails or deep water crossings. By raising the air intake to roof level, the snorkel draws in less dust, which extends the life of your air filter and improves engine performance. Most importantly, it provides critical protection against water ingestion during river or floodwater crossings. Without a snorkel, your engine is vulnerable to sucking in water, which can lead to catastrophic failure known as 'hydrolock'. This occurs when the engine attempts to compress water, resulting in bent connecting rods, damaged pistons, and potentially a completely destroyed engine, leading to extremely expensive repairs. Product Features Maximum Airflow Design: Specifically engineered to meet and exceed the air intake requirements of the powerful VK56 V8 petrol engine, ensuring optimal performance. UV-Stabilised Polyethylene Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, cross-linked polyethylene for exceptional strength and durability in harsh Australian conditions, resisting fading and cracking. Efficient Water Separation: The 'Air Ram' intake head is designed to effectively separate rain and moisture from the incoming air stream, protecting your engine even in a downpour. Custom Moulded Fit: Precision-engineered to perfectly match the body contours of the Y62 Series 5 Patrol for a seamless, factory-look installation. Comprehensive Fitting Kit: Includes all necessary high-quality hardware, templates, and detailed instructions for a secure and watertight fitment.
