I have not heard that it is a matter of health & hygiene to clip nasal hair, but it might be in some cases. It is NOT critical to physical well-being to shave the armpits, if it were, then MEN would shave there too, not just women who seem to feel it is necessary to being feminine.
So, no, Sikhs don't clip nasal hair or shave anywhere.
