Description
Premium Engine Protection for Touring and Off-Road Use
Reduce Dust and Contaminant Ingestion
Dust is one of the biggest enemies of diesel engines, particularly when travelling on outback roads, forestry tracks and unsealed highways.
The Safari SS730HFB relocates the intake position from the vulnerable engine bay area to roof height, helping the engine breathe cleaner air while reducing the amount of dust and debris reaching the air filtration system.
Benefits include:
- Improved engine protection
- Cleaner intake airflow
- Reduced air filter contamination
- Better performance in dusty environments
- Increased confidence during remote travel
Safari Air Ram Technology
High Airflow with Water Separation Capability
The Safari Air Ram is designed to maximise airflow while helping separate water from the incoming air stream.
As air enters the intake head, moisture and rainwater are directed away before reaching the factory airbox. This additional protection assists during heavy rain, storm conditions and challenging off-road environments.
Combined with Safari’s high-flow snorkel body design, the SS730HFB provides an efficient airflow solution without compromising engine protection.
Designed Specifically for Nissan Pathfinder R51 VIN VSK Models
Vehicle-Specific Engineering for Reliable Fitment
Unlike generic aftermarket snorkels, the SS730HFB has been developed specifically for Nissan Pathfinder R51 VIN VSK 2.5L Diesel vehicles produced between 2005 and 2009.
This vehicle-specific design provides:
- Precise fitment
- Factory-style integration
- Optimised airflow performance
- Professional appearance
- Long-term reliability
Every component is engineered to integrate correctly with the Pathfinder’s factory intake system.
