What brand did you get? Got a link to the ebay listing?

I fitted a genuine nissan snorkel to my 2011 d22 . mine has twin batteries and i didnnt have to relocate the blinker, it was scary though cutting a 90 mm hole in my brand new car

 

[johnbritto]

the brand is scintex there email is [email protected] it looks the same as the genuine one i also rang tjm they said its normal to have to move blinker on some modals depanding on weather or not dual battery and what brand snorkel like saffari you have to move blinker they say the ebay listing number is 200690667721 there are 10 left brand new buy it now $239 free postage in australia mine was delivered within 3 days to my door

Dunno why this is in the clubhouse.

Moving to the correct area.

I fitted the genuine snorkel and the instructions in there were NOT to relocate the blinker but to move the wire to it as it passed through a hole in the side wall that was to be used by the snorkel,

Thats a copy of the Safari, To relocate the blinker is easy enough to do with a drill and a file. I had to do do mine and i used a thing called a "Nibbler" and a file. If your not into doing it go buy yourself a LED trailer blinker from any truck shop and screw it on.

I fitted my snorkle that required the blinker to be moved (was from ebay, ldpe plastic and still going strong).

Blinker move is easy enough, traced the line from the supplied template and drilled + filed. Didn't take long and in my opinion worth it to keep that indicator.

measure three times, I had the template taped up in the wrong spot the first two times I measured!

Good luck. Its not a hard job, just pretend its not your truck when you drill that huge hole!!

yeah was talking to the bloke next door he does some amazing things with little sports type cars and its actualy his real life job he is going to do the cutting for me and im confident with some of the work ive seen everything will be fine

Should have bought that one, same snorkel. Its a knock off of the safari snorkel. I bought one and fitted it myself. indicator move was easy enough, I just had to make the hole in the bonnet side of the guard bigger to get the pipe through. All done and fitted looks great works better!
