    advice on 550 exhaust fitting

    It's all pretty easy besides the dump pipe, I took the heat shielding off the cat before I could get it out, and just don't forget to take your o2 sensor out of the dump pipe before you start.

    Oops! Left in 4wd

    I'm pretty sure that's just to keep everything lubricated and working properly but should still be done off a sealed road

    Oops! Left in 4wd

    I actually found myself guilty of this when coming back from the Easter long weekend, I drove 70k's before realising, the drive was all flowing road's with sweeping corners so nothing too sharp, and then once getting into Goulburn and hitting a round-about it just felt like the car lost power...

    Ti550 Engine Cooling Fan [SOLVED]

    I'm pretty sure the fan couplings are purely electronically controlled via the bcm and ecu on our v9x models, in essence the same way an air con compressor is turned on with a magnetic clutch except this one has variable lock up points, which vary based on about 11 inputs from all around the car

    Looking to borrow a winch for a few weeks

    I would do something like that but want to be able to drive it around and see how it feels compared to how it is now, plus I know the winch won't move around one bit. I have a feeling that changing to the medium dobinson springs will soften the ride up, but by how much I have no idea.

    Looking to borrow a winch for a few weeks

    Hey everyone, I'm just seeing if anyone has a winch that I could borrow for a few weeks, it doesn't even have to work as I won't be using it, I just want to put the extra weight over the front. Long story short, I put a 2" lift kit in my D40 550 and was given the firmest front springs but I...

    550 gearbox slipping/ engine surge

    It's not an issue man, I thought I posted in here about it already but maybe it was in another thread, the manual actually advises that the gearbox was made to do that and that's probably why if anything but nissan matic s is used the box slips because it won't have the correct friction...

    Is it game over for navara asia forum?

    I think I speak for everyone on here when I say that we appreciate how much Tony has put into this site/forum and it has been one of the most important assets to me ever since I bough my first navara. There is a lot of knowledge here and everyone is always happy to help out and try and resolve...

    Is it game over for navara asia forum?

    Plus at least for the navara 550 facebook page it's 1000 people asking the same four questions, how do I fit a catch can, what oil do I use, I broke my auto by using the wrong oil and explain to me one of the most simple electric mods that's already been spoken about so many times. My point is...

    Cruise contol [SOLVED]

    Get yourself an OBD2 scanner mate, either a bluetooth one if you have an andriod phone or a wifi one if you have an iphone, they are pretty cheap with the bluetooth ones being $15 and the wifi ones being about $40-45, I keep mine in the ute all the time just in case something unexpected happens...

    STX-550 leather interior & oem dash into V6 ST-X

    the sat nav unit connects to a lot of different modules i think like the video processor and other stuff, if you have a copy of the manual there's a fair bit in there relating to it, as for the seats, I'd say they should bolt straight in.

    Revs surging/hunting while cruising

    from what I've now found in the nissan manual it is actually apart of the gearbox design to have variable slip in order to smooth engine output and increase fuel economy, which is probably why that gearbox will only take nissan matic S because of what ever kind of spec friction modifiers that...

    QD32 Replacing pistons in situ

    When I had my D22 with a QD32 and then turbo'd it, I eventually used a 2001 WRX top mount intercooler which sat off to the side a little but had very little pipe work and worked great. Plus I was actually going to use an old Subaru liberty water to air intercooler which I still have, still the...
