^ have you actually driven one with the ys23ddtt?

Spoke to the service advisor today about it, and he made a valid point. It's risk mitigation on Nissan Aus's behalf. Why? Who are you going to call when or if you run out of fuel? Your free Nissan roadside assistance that came with the purchase of the car. Less callouts = less cost to Nissan...

Recalibrating fuel level senders most likely, or altered firmware.

My bad - warning came on at 1/8th of a tank with approximately 150km range left. Took 60l again.

It's not a safety issue.

Just filled it with it's 2nd tank of diesel, 5k's after the warning light came on at 1/4 of a tank. Took 59l, calculated fuel economy was 9.8 vs 9 in the gauge cluster. So just on 1/4 of a tank on the gauge is fairly spot on with specified tank volume. Mine is a October 2015 build date.

The diesel CX5 we had before the NP300, used to average 7.5-8l per 100. Mazda advertised 5.9l per 100. So it's not just Nissan advertising better than actual fuel economy.

Sweet, thanks for that.

Have a look, I'm fairly sure it's 3" from the factory from the cat / dpf back. Haven't put any verniers on it though.

Ok - interesting!

Also, if you're regularly carrying load and it is compressing to that degree, might be worth investing in some airbags inside the rear springs.

Firstly, how much load are you towing? Either way, you're not going to be winning any races, ac on or off. Most new vehicles these days have quite efficient compressors, meaning that thier operation is usually pretty seamless and unnoticed by the driver.

Any idea what the tongue load was? I wouldn't expect suspension compression to be that much with less than 300kg on the tongue. My car trailer when loaded with my circuit car has a down load of approx 120kg - the diesel CX5 before the NP300 used to sit level. I expect that the np300 will sit...

Keen to see mate. Any chance you can dyno it with just the centre muffler removed? Will either prove or disprove Willall's TQ gains of 50nm.

Also interested. Was going to fit a lightbar up on the sports bar, but I'm not sure the light output in that spot would actually be any good. Currently planning on fitting one in the lower grill. My other option is round spotties on the sports bar.
