Description
Advanced Engine Protection for Australian Touring
Keep Dust, Water and Contaminants Away from Your Engine
One of the greatest threats to diesel engine longevity is contaminated intake air. Factory air intakes are positioned low in the engine bay where they are exposed to dust, mud, water spray and debris.
The Safari SS731HF relocates the intake point to roof level, allowing your Pathfinder to draw significantly cleaner air while reducing exposure to harmful contaminants.
This provides valuable protection during:
- Outback touring
- Caravan towing
- Beach driving
- Forestry tracks
- Dusty convoy conditions
- Regional worksite access
- Heavy rain and storm conditions
Safari Air Ram Technology
High Airflow with Integrated Water Separation
The Safari Air Ram is engineered to do more than simply direct air into the snorkel body.
Its advanced design helps separate rainwater and moisture from the incoming airflow before it reaches the factory airbox. This additional layer of protection assists in maintaining safe engine operation during severe weather and challenging off-road conditions.
Combined with Safari’s high-flow design, the SS731HF delivers the clean airflow your Pathfinder’s diesel engine requires without compromising protection.
Vehicle Specific Design for Perfect Fitment
Engineered for Spain Built VIN VSK Pathfinder Models
The SS731HF has been specifically developed for Nissan Pathfinder R51 Spain Built vehicles with VIN prefixes beginning VSK.
Unlike universal snorkels, this vehicle-specific design ensures:
- Precise fitment
- Factory-style appearance
- Optimised airflow performance
- Correct integration with the factory intake system
- Reliable long-term sealing
Every component is engineered specifically for the Pathfinder platform to ensure professional results and dependable operation.
Built for Australia's Harshest Conditions
Australian Manufactured Strength and Durability

- Corrugations
- Tree branches
