Hi all, Would you consider a headunit that after powering down (i.e. turning off the car) to restart the previously played song from 00:00:00 to be normal? I am currently discussing with the seller about a separate issue. Mine not only restarts from 00:00:00 but also from Track 1. The seller...

We will be required to put a dividing plate on our LED light bars soon to give the effect of two lights. I can't see the logic in this and no reasoning is provided. http://www.cviaq.com.au/PDFs/VSI%20HV25.0%20Driving%20Lamps.pdf Something to consider. Cheers and beers.

Hi all, Get a few drops on the driveway every now and then (10c piece about once a fortnight). Had a search and on the forum some people mention a drain pipe for their oil filter (green arrow), mine doesn't seem to have one. I was wondering what the red arrow is (as I have that)? Workshop manual...

The scumbag better hope I don't find him/her... The window tint did it's job though. Too small to go through insurance but annoying enough to have to deal with it. Sometimes I just wish they'd steal the whole car and write it off. On the flip side, if anyone knows of a d40 being wrecked I'm...

Hi all, Just wondering if the top tubes on the Deluxe bar (particularly the headlight section) will really provide any additional protection in the event of a hit? I imagine the two vertical supports in the middle would extend to the chassis mounts. Which is all I really see in the advantages...

I have an idea that I want to run past the brain trust. Does the below sound like a feasible idea? These are just mock ups on the computer. It is intended for carrying a car topper boat (approx 35kg). I have a front sports bar with a rack and would put some horizontal bracing from front to rear...

hi all, after not having driven for over a week, i found my battery dead. i think the electronic rust protection may have drained it. i had enough for radio and other accessories and just enough to get her to turn over a few times but not fire. rather than bringing the other car around to jump...

Thought I'd put it out to the wealth of knowledge that's on the Nav forum. I've got a sheared bolt on the outboard (for the torque tab/sacrificial anode), obviously found out the hard way about stainless steel's strength. Tried to use an easy out bolt extractor but it just just snapped off...

Hi all, I've been scouring the net all afternoon/night to no avail. I'm after a double sided adhesive foam pad (about 2mm thick), approximately 65 mm x 120 mm. I'm after a sheet of some sort as I need two of the above measurements. I'm guessing 3M is the go. However all I can find are 10-35mm...

My 2007 D40 Diesel Manual is currently on 55,000km and due for it's 60,000km service (only because the 6 months are up). Nissan have quoted me between $400-450! A quick check in the book shows that they aren't going to be doing very much - what a rip! My question is if I really need to do the...

hi all, i have an idea that i'd like fabricated. would like to get a hitch mounted bar made up to support a rear ladder rack. reason being is that i have a hard lid but will occasionally carry long items to go onto the front sports bar rack. thule make a goalpost hitch which would do the job...

Some of you may have read that I had the towbar nicked off my car recently. Wasn't keen on chasing through insurance as it meant days off work for quotes, inspections and the fact that my excess would have covered a majority of the replacement costs. Made a few calls to the various places for a...

According to Nissan my front rotors/pads need to be changed and was quoted $600. While the OEM have been okay they haven't lasted as long as I hoped whilst towing loads. Personally I think there's a bit more left in them and just Nissan getting a bit greedy. I've previous run Hawk pads on my...

Hopped in the car this morning and indicators were on the fritz, thinking it was a simple fuse I kept going until I got to work to check. Fuses all good, went around the back to check bulbs and found that someone has swiped the entire towbar assembly, trailer plug, shackles, towball, the lot...

Hi all, I bought the car second hand with electronic rust protection preinstalled, however I never paid it any attention until now. A quick search has come up with Couplertec to be the go to kit. However mine seems to be a no name brand (TVP?). Can't find anything online through my searches...

Thinking of buying the canvas Blackwolf Turbo 240 Tents. Will be mainly the missus and I and we don't take up much space at all. Mainly short trips (1 week max) and more so for beach (Straddy and Moreton) and the odd caravan park. I know most on the forum have camper trailers but it's just not...

Make sure your cars are well polished and waxed, plenty of those "paparazzi" types lurking around. Photos taken in Clayfield, Brisbane. Cheers Eug

Just dropped my car in for it's 40,000km service and they quoted me $1066 to pay when I pick up this afternoon, that is stupidly expensive!! In true stealership form they didn't even have my booking on file, nor my correct name, address and contact details (all from the previous owner). They...

hi all tried a search in the d40 section and sifted through some gallery photos but not much on roof racks. i was curious to know as to what brands people are using (rhino?) and if anyone went the nissan option? i like the idea of the smooth/slimline fit but they require drilling/rivets. are...

Hi all, Here are some photos of the car. I've had a hard tonneau fitted since. Cheers Eug
