I've spoken with two Tyre shops and the RTA which all told me the same thing.
265/65/r17 up from 255/65/r17 legal yes. Go up to 265/70/r17 no as its over 15mm diameter. Combine either of these with a lift and your over the legal height increase of 50mm over standard.
The RTA provided two...
Ok so after seeing a jacked up 3 inch navara running bigger tyres the other day I decided I had to do something with mine. I planned to go from the stock 255/65r17 to some 265/70r17 tyres and get a 2 inch suspension lift on my D40 as this seems pretty common on here but the first thing I noticed...
Thanks for replies. I have done some off roading and camp every second month but I guess I mean when I look at 2 inches on a ruler I wonder how such a small increase can give such a dramatic improvement. It looks like nothing. I can however understand the benefits re potholes as I know how the...
Guys I would like to get some more height out of the Navara as I was parked next to a Hilux and triton the other day and compared to the two of them I have to say the Navara really looked quite low. I know it's petty but couldnt help but have some height envy.
I've heard the best way of doing...
The guys paying 37 and 38k is this for manual or autos?
I paid around 42k 6 months ago for auto with hard STX550 cover so if it's auto that is very good price. Had to try around 5 dealers to get it for that price with a trade in.
I bought a black D40 6 months ago. Contemplated selling it plenty of times just to get another colour. After first wash and a trip into the bush looks 3 years old already :( Shows every scratch and swirl up. Looks awesome for about an hour after its washed and waxed though.
That is good to know, I thought it was because of the mat not allowing them to breath or something. I will take it to Nissan and get them to replace and monitor the next ones. Hopefully dont get charged the $99 "Diagnosis fee" I was told about on the phone.
Ok so not having the money for a spray in tub liner I decided to buy a rubber mat 3 months ago from a place in QLD, Bootliner I think it's called and yesterday when I pulled up the mat to give the tub a wash for the first time (Car only 3 months old) I noticed surface rust all over the bottom...
Yeah I got mine 3 months back for 42.5 auto with hard lid so sounds about right. Took a few dealers to get it for that price but then when I did agree to it the sneaky buggers revealed it was because they were not including the nudge bar and tow bar that the others were including. Shows you at...
I bought the off road utes magazine mentioned earlier recently. Not a bad read but keep in mind their data is always a few months old so useless if you want the very latest information. I bought the latest issue as it had d40 reviews and they still haven't caught on to the fact that the ST now...
It was at lander nissan blacktown in NSW. I got told by another dealer at ryde that they were running them out so if you ask I'm sure they should be able to do it. Cant guarantee they wont try sting you extra for it though if you ask!
I recently got a Black Series 7 ST auto, bonnet protector, floor mats, hard lid (they put the stx550 one on as they are running them out, includes central lock and light) for 42.5k driveaway.
Manuals are fun to drive until you hit traffic but the 5spd auto in the 2012 ST goes so great with the 2.5TD I couldn't see the need for a manual
Driving in peak hour Syd traffic is made alot easier and highway cruising is very comfortable. More than enough power and this is coming from someone...
Cant really comment as I havent towed with mine or had it long enough to get averages but I got around the 700k mark on a run down the humehighway and still said I had 100k until empty when I was back in syd. So far unloaded around town in peak hour looks to be around the 600k to a tank...
I wanted manual but was a little concerned with all the stories I read about the clutches requiring replacement. Should be right as long as your not towing though from what I've read. Or you can always replace the dual mass flywheel with an aftermarket solid one if it should ever fail.
Was...
Just wondering if you are actually supposed to step on the rear step on the d40 Navara? I've been stepping on it recently when Im washing the hard lid and it looks like it's sagging already. On closer inspection the whole thing appears to be plastic?
Sounds like a good deal, the Black sports bars are nice.
I could use the reverse camera. Things a bitch to park at the shops. I didn't even see those there in the options.
Did you go auto or manual?
I got quoted around 2k for the paint protection so had to give it a miss. Already got a few...
