Like Tony my son also has a D22 2.5 dual cab ST/R (2013 model), it has never had one problem. Yes it takes a bit to get it moving but he tows a boat with no issues or complaints. As for buying an older Triton we have one of those at work (a 2015 model) and I'd sooner drive the D22 any day. It is...

I've done both over the years, a chip on a 3ltr Patrol and a remap on my D23 twin turbo. I prefer the remap. I wasn't that impressed with the chip and had to limit boost and closely watch the turbo temp on the 3ltr when towing.

Just something to keep in mind, as soon as you go over your GVM and have a mishap your insurance is null and void if they find out. Also if you look heavy some Transport inspectors will pull you in to weigh you. Once they do that you don't move until you get it back to legal weights. There have...

I've never gone 3" because I personally reckon it is to big on a small engine. I haven't changed the exhaust on the Nav, but did on my 3.0 Patrol. I chipped it first and just wasn't that impressed, so put on a 2.5" Beaudesert exhaust and it did come to life after that. I did have to limit the...

Yeh, I had mine turned completely off when it was dyno tuned. It's a lot more expensive than just a plate though but worth the money for the extra power.

Welcome aboard, you'll enjoy your SL.

I did not have the issue with my series 2, till I changed recently to 285/60/18 all terrains. Then it started, which didn't really surprise me given the extra weight of the bigger all terrain tyre. Balancing did not fix it so I tried some SupaMax glass tyre balance beads. I put 6oz (half a bag)...

What about one of those small light brackets like this - http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/SCA-Driving-Light-Bar-Universal/219098 that mounts on your number plate mounting on the front? I've seen similar to this used before.

You are correct. It is so the fuel has enough in reserve to cool down otherwise it eventually stuffs the injectors if you constantly run it right down. I usually fill up when it reads around a quarter, although I have had to run it down on a rare occasion when I have had to go further than I...

OK, had chips in diesels and not really a fan. Yes they made a difference, but nothing that makes you sit up and say WOW. They take readings from different sensors and alter the readings to the ECU so it tricks the ECU into thinking something different is happening. The cheaper ones just tell...

I understand you guys are all under warranty, but has anybody actually removed a tailshaft and put it in to be balanced? Nissan will only change them with another one, not send them out for balancing.

Firstly, welcome to the forum. They drop from full very quickly, then slow down. I've gone 850klm before filling and only managed to get 57ltrs in. It depends on what sort of driving you do, highway, suburban etc. Also mine got better as I got more klm on it, it took 20K and some towing of a 2.5...

You are partly right Kevin, our last rip right out far western NSW and QLD all the cockies either have a Cruiser tray back or a Hilux, you don't see too much else where the tourists don't go, in fact you don't see much of anything.

I am a bit perplexed as well. I tow a 2.5 tonne van quite often and have no issues with power, in fact it surprises me how well it handles the hills. I've only blocked the EGR, I have not felt the need for a tune. I still get good economy over long distances, around 12.3 or so with well over...

Mine was changed by Nissan at Wynnum, even before the recall notice came out. It has since been changed to an ARB bullbar and is just sitting in my garage taking up space hahaha
