Description
Why Upgrade Your Nissan Pathfinder R51 with a Safari Snorkel?
The factory air intake on the Nissan Pathfinder R51 sits relatively low within the guard area where it is exposed to dust, mud, water spray and debris encountered during off-road driving.
The Safari SS732HF relocates the intake point to roof height, allowing your engine to draw cleaner air from a higher position while significantly reducing exposure to harmful contaminants.
Benefits include:
- Improved engine protection in dusty conditions
- Reduced risk of water entering the intake system
- Cleaner airflow for improved filtration efficiency
- Better air quality during towing and touring
- Increased confidence during remote-area travel
- Enhanced protection for expensive engine components
- Proven performance in Australian off-road conditions
For serious touring and adventure vehicles, a raised air intake is considered one of the most important protection upgrades available.
Engineered Specifically for Nissan Pathfinder R51 ST, ST-L & Ti
Unlike universal snorkel systems, the Safari SS732HF has been vehicle-specific engineered for the Nissan Pathfinder R51 platform.
Every component has been designed to integrate with the factory airbox system while maintaining optimal airflow characteristics and OEM-level reliability.
The result is:
- Precise vehicle-specific fitment
- Factory-style appearance
- Optimised airflow performance
- Reduced intake restriction
- Long-term durability
- Professional installation outcomes
This ensures your Pathfinder retains reliable performance whether commuting, towing or tackling remote off-road tracks.
Advanced Safari Air Ram Technology
The Safari Air Ram is far more than a simple intake head.
Its advanced design performs multiple functions simultaneously:
Cooler Air Collection
The elevated intake position captures cooler ambient air above the engine bay, helping maintain consistent intake temperatures.
Water Separation Technology
Safari’s engineered air ram design actively separates rainwater and moisture from incoming airflow before it reaches the airbox.
This feature is particularly valuable when travelling through:
- Heavy rain
- Tropical storms
- Wet coastal environments
- River crossings
- Muddy tracks
Maximum Airflow Efficiency
The internal design promotes unrestricted airflow while maintaining effective contaminant management.
The result is reliable engine breathing under demanding operating conditions.
Built for Australia's Toughest Conditions
Safari Snorkels have earned their reputation across Australia’s most demanding environments.
The SS732HF is manufactured using:
UV Stable Cross-Linked Polyethylene
The snorkel body is produced from premium UV-resistant polyethylene designed to withstand:
- Extreme heat
- Constant UV exposure
- Harsh outback environments
- Coastal conditions
- Long-term weathering
Heavy Duty Construction
Substantial wall thickness delivers exceptional strength and impact resistance for serious off-road use.
Whether navigating tight bush tracks, desert touring routes or rugged station roads, the snorkel is built to withstand years of punishment.
Designed for Touring, Towing & Adventure Travel
The Nissan Pathfinder R51 remains a popular touring and family adventure platform throughout Australia.
The Safari SS732HF is ideally suited for:
Touring Vehicles
Protect your engine during long-distance outback travel where airborne dust can quickly overwhelm standard intake systems.
Caravan & Camper Towing
Reduce exposure to dust generated by trailers and caravans on gravel roads and remote touring routes.
Beach Driving
Help minimise salt-laden air and sand entering your intake system during coastal adventures.
Off-Road Exploration
Gain additional confidence when encountering muddy tracks, water crossings and unpredictable terrain.
