I started a thread about a whining noise I could hear in a Nissan navara stx that I was thinking of buying, its the 4.0lt v6 petrol motor. After hours browsing the net and different forums, I really didn't find any conclusive information that the chain guides do fail just like they do in the...

I have decided to take the risk and buy the ute, from all the research I have done over the last few days there is nothing to back the noise im hearing.the reason why is 1. Hardly anyone in Australia has heard of the chain guide issues in the petrol motor. 2. I rang Nissan and they said there...

Im not 100 % sure on what tyres are on it but they are standard rims. I have asked the dealership to get there mechanic to check it out before i pick it up. I highly dout they will take it to another mechanic for me and i cant do it myself as i live 8hrs from sydney which is where the dealer...

:tazzy:I have been posting a lot lately as im about to buy my first d40 and really don't want to buy a lemon. I took a 2006 Nissan navara st-x, 4.0lt v6 manual for a test drive, it has 197000kms on the clock.The test drive went well beside one thing that worries me after reading through post on...

That's good that its normal. the only other issue I have it that there is like a loud whine noise when accelerating. It doesn't seem to do it when idling and there are no ticking/knock noises. Besides the whining it runs good. I have been reading about the timing chain issues and hope its not...

Yea we saved heaps by installing the new head by ourselfs. My partner is a mechanic which is the reason y we are asking about the cooling system and pressure. In most older cars when the coolant spitz out from the radiator its a sign that the head gasket is blown or a cracked head. A mate has a...

The reason why the radiator cap was undone when at operating temp was to see if there was any exhaust gases which can only be seen and tested when the motor is at operating temp. I have done the co2 test on a couple of different cars including my old st-r and on every single one I done it, the...

I travelled 8hrs to buy a Nissan navara stx it was a 2007 6speed manual v6 petrol and had 196000kms. After taking it for a quick test drive like max 10 minutes it was at just under half on the temp gauge. While it was running I tried to under the radiator and I couldn't it had so much pressure I...

I totally agree about the kms. are all d40's heavy on petrol/diesel? Is the auto in the petrol d40 good or bad because if the option 3 was a manual I would buy it hands down no questions asked but because its auto im not to sure, is there any reason I shouldn't buy an auto

I'm buying a navara d40 this weekend but I have afew options to choose from, I was hoping to get the opinion of some d40 owners as to which ute is the best deal. Im not going off road with it - family car :rock: Option 1 - Dealer 2006 STX for $ 13850 194,719kms manual petrol v6 ironman...

I have decided to buy a Nissan navara d40. i would like to know what the opinion is on the st-x in the auto. I'm looking at buying a 2007 d40 with 200,000kms on the clock and its the petrol with the 5 speed auto for $13000, is this a good price for what it is. I have never owned a auto 4x4...

thanks for that dave, we tried like 6 times to find the letters and line them up with no luck.The only letters we managed to line up close enough on fuel injection pump gear was c/dd, we couldnt find cc to much up, so when we had c/dd almost lined up we turn the motor quite a few times to line...

to be honest im not sure i no the timing mark is lining up on the pulley n where the crank angle sensor is. when we had the front cover off we tried lining up the marks cc but all could get was dd no matter how much we tried to line it up.so we lined all the timing marks up again on the cam...

so we replaced the cylinder head on our zd30 put it all back together and it wouldnt start. We took the injectors out and and turn the motor over and we could see diesel spraying out all injecctors so we pulled it all down again to check the timing and as far as we can tell its all good. the...

yea the intake was covered in soot and oil but before the head cracked it was a great motor run really well had good response but our str has 270,000kms but has a complete service history from the 1st service to the very last
