I'm sure this has been asked copious amount of times and I've searched and browsed yet can not find them - what is a good quality UHF radio? I'm not after the best as I don't think I'll pay the money for it. I understand the quality of the audio is 90% in the aerial and clean signal. I'd like...

I found this and found it very informative, as I have had an issue with my Navara D40 being over weight. I'm looking to replace the vehicle soon and was looking at payload comparisons and found this list comparing different ute's gross mass and carrying capacity. Hope others will find it handy...

I have a MY2010 D40 dual cab that I want to replace at the end of this year. I'm after suggestions on what to replace it with. It's a topic that's probably been asked plenty, and the Navara site is not a place to get a balanced answer. I've been happy with the D40 - it's powerful enough, no...

Auto sparkies, and knowledgable novices: can I return my zero volts (0v)/negative to any ground on the vehicle - ie, find a metal ground anywhere on the body and use it for lights or access devices? I'm mounting lights in a few spots - clearance lights on the roof, safety lights on the racks...

I'm mounting lights on my roof racks. For now it's safety lights, but later I'd like to add driving lights and clearance lights. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to get the cabling from the roof into the cab? I did plan on running the cables along the roof rack track to the back of...

How do I tell if my MY2010 D40 ST is a Spanish or Thai breed? I've been searching these forums and found reference to pros and cons for each but can't see how to tell which type mine is. Also, is there a quality difference between Spanish or Thai? My brother is an ex-performance car mechanic and...

I have a MY2010 D40, 18months from new, 80,000kms, and have had some problems with faulty 2wd-4wd-4lo selector and water in the transfer case. I do go through some water occassionally, as I have to access flood areas sometimes. Wondering if someone can tell me all the areas underneath to...

I'm wiring a lot of devices from outside my vehicle to inside the cab; there's 2 runs of coax for antenna, and 7 runs of 1mm cable for 2 lots of hazards lights (required for some work sites) and LED clearance lights. Can anyone tell me the best option to get these cables into the cabin from the...

I know there's tons of info throughout this forum on suspension changes, but I want to ask a direct question: I'm "AM" going to improve my rear suspension, as I carry a lot of weight and looks like the bum's dragging (ugly, like a wormy dog) ... which way to go - airbags or lift kit (springs)?

At the risk of stirring up a hornets nest ... I have searched the forums and after spending hours reading bits and pieces, I have decided if it's so hard to find, I'll ask the question directly: Is there a difference between retail diesel sold? I've been logging my mileage from suppliers -...

I'm all about making my vehicle work, but at the same time, not flog it, so I get the most out of it: How hard can I drive it? For example, being a modern diesel (D40 MY10 2.5lt 6sp) do I drive it at higher revs or more under load (lower revs)? I've always learnt (from my old-school truck-driver...

I've just bought a new Navara: Nissan Navara D40 MY10 2.5 TD ST Dual 4x4 6sp Took delivery of it in March '11 and have just reached 25,000km - I do about 1,200k a week, all on country roads. I point this out because I went with the Navara as it's advertised, and presumed by me, as a tougher work...
