    TJM snorkel

    Hi all

    Just a quick review on TJM snorkel for an NS. Not doing a full install post as there is plenty on this forum. Instructions were good and templates were spot on. Took my time doing it including waiting for the rust preventative paint to dry on the cut and drilled holes.

    I went down the modifying the original washer bottle line thats previously been talked about. Pretty easy once holes are cut in the wing, replace washer bottle and use pen to draw what needs to be cut. I then used part of the supplied washer bottle to replace the cut bit, couple of cable ties and sikaflex to seal.......worked a treat.

    Had to temporary remove my catch can due to where the inlet comes into the engine bay. Once i get chance to make a bracket to fit catch can on firewall I'll reinstall it.

    No real problems along the way, happy with the fit and finish of the TJM snorkel. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the install.

    Hi Aussie Thanks for the post and the pics. Think that I will also put a TJM on my NW as it does not look as bulky as the Safari snorkel
    Cheers, Russell

      Yeah i do like the look of the TJM a bit more but thats personal preference. And the fact you can keep the original bottle with a small mod, with the Safari you can't.

        What parts get relocated? Looks like the fuses near the brake reservoir get moved, what else? What happens to the hose from the turbo to the intercooler, does the snorkel tubing go around/over that? Any pics showing that?

          Yep fuses near brake system gets moved but the TJM kit comes with a new bracket for the relocation. Intake pipe bolts to side of original air box so no need to move any pipes to/from turbo.

          If you're getting rid of original washer botyle thekuut comes with new smaller washer biittle and bracket. Bolts behind drivers side headlight.

          No pics of mine and its dark here. Pic found from net below which shows replacement bottle and you can see snorkel intake at side of airbox....the clean plastic pipe.

          EDIT......also the airbox is moved slightly forward and towards the wing but again a bracket somes in the kit. This allows for the intake pipe on the engine side.
