Nissan Patrol GU S4 Snorkel
A 4″ stainless steel raised air intake built for the GU Series 4 Patrol — cleaner air, deeper water crossings, and a snorkel that actually looks like it belongs on the truck.
Australian made · Made to order · Ships nationwide
Built for the Air Your Engine Actually Wants
Standard bumper-height intakes pull in the hottest, dustiest, and most water-exposed air on the truck. Raising that intake to roof height changes all three at once.
4″ Stainless Steel
Mandrel-bent, seamless-weld construction that won’t warp, crack, or perish the way UV-exposed plastic snorkels do over time.
Deeper Water Crossings
Roof-height intake keeps the engine breathing clean, dry air well past the point a bumper-level intake would hydrolock.
Cooler, Cleaner Intake Air
Drawing air from above the dust cloud and away from engine bay heat supports more consistent combustion on long corrugated tracks.
Complete Kit
Everything needed for a full installation is included — no separate hardware order required.

Why GU Owners Fit One
A raised air intake is one of the few upgrades that pays off on every kind of drive, not just serious off-road tracks. On dusty station roads it keeps grit out of the filter for longer between services. On a beach or river crossing it buys real margin before water reaches the engine’s air intake. And on a hot highway run, pulling air from above the engine bay instead of right beside a heat-soaked radiator gives the intake a genuinely cooler starting point. The Four Wheel Drive Australia network’s own touring advice consistently flags water crossing depth and dust ingestion as two of the most common causes of avoidable engine damage on remote tracks — exactly what a properly fitted snorkel is designed to manage.
What Fitting Involves
- Confirm your build — cross-check your GU S4’s engine and mount side against the fitment table above before ordering.
- Template and mark — use the supplied fitting template to mark the A-pillar cut line accurately before any cutting begins.
- Cut and fit — most installers budget half a day for a clean guard cut, seal, and mount.
- Connect to the airbox — pair with a compatible airbox for the intended airflow gains; ask before ordering if you’re unsure your factory airbox suits.
- Seal and inspect — every joint and the guard penetration should be sealed and checked before the first water crossing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this snorkel fit every GU Patrol?
- No — it’s built specifically for GU Series 4 onward (09/2004+). Earlier Series 1–3 Patrols use a different snorkel profile, so confirm your series before ordering.
- Do I need a new airbox as well?
- The snorkel is designed to work with a compatible airbox for maximum airflow gains. Check with the seller whether your factory airbox is suitable or whether a matching airbox is recommended.
- How long does it take to arrive?
- This is a made-to-order item, so production lead time applies before it ships. Confirm the current estimate on the product page before you order.
- Can I fit it myself?
- It’s a guard-cutting job, so a confident home installer with the right tools can do it, but many owners prefer to have it fitted by a 4WD accessory shop for a clean, sealed result first time.
