I'm Baaack x2

[redman]

Just like many users previously..

Sold the D22 (18months ago) and have just purchased a 2013 D40 Navara ST which has plenty of room for the new baby seat!

190hp 450nm 6 speed manual stock and well under 10L/100km..
Comes with Snorkel, mats, towbar, tonneau, bonnet prot in metallic black all for 38k with 10year warranty and fixed servicing.

Let the mods begin! Goodbye Warranty?

First on the 6month list..
Suspension/Lift - Needs raising!
Catch Can/Exhaust/EGR
Bullbar - Thinking Xrox

Didnt get their 2k paint protection and rust proofing.. Told them would source myself, Still not convinced on the electronic rust proofing...

Should have it Next Week, straight onto some 'Paint Sealer/Waxing/Paint Protection'

Welcome back - another one who jumped camps from the 22s to the 40s!

Yeah what is with that 10 year warranty? For $38K ??

I think you might of mistaken the warranty bit. The 10 year bit is the school grade of the young bloke who Nissan will get to repair your car... lol. Welcome to the dark side..

WElcome back and obviously finally saw the light COMON D40s

Yeh 10 year Nissan warranty as long as all services were done through a Nissan dealership.. Fixed price servicing for first 6 years I think it was..

Will have to double check the paperwork...

10 yrs? Interesting!

I highly doubt it is a NISSAN warranty other wise they would be advertising it flat out due to it being the longest warranty in Australia, they just wouldn't stop bragging about it look how they went on about the biggest towing capacity when the d40 had the title and now there on about the V6 being the "MOST POWERFUL TRADIE"

If you have been given such a warranty then IMO it would be only from YOUR dealer and you will need to have the ute serviced ONLY by them and it wont be a MIRROR image of the GENUINE FACTORY warranty.

Yeh is 10 year warranty through Westpoint Nissan Indooroopilly and all work done by them and only them.. Catch is it has to be serviced every 6 months through their fixed price servicing. Cant be taken to any other nissan dealer but warranty covers the same as new warranty within reason of wear and tear. (brake pads, clutch etc)
Had a letter in the mail about recall on the EGT sensor already done and replaced, really good serviced and took them 45 minutes to do in and out.

Very nice, like the look of xrox bars. But not practical for me IMO, I live in the sticks and there's always 3 or 4 roos on the corner near home, so I like the full hoop. And every time I see d40,s for sale on tv I keep thinking yep when it's upgrade time it will be a d40. The blacked out grill suits it

 

[redman]

100% agree Dave, Im lucky to see 5 roo's a year where i am.
Bar is nice and strong and gives better clearance and I believe the 4x4 would still be drivable after a roo hit but not bullet proof like a big arb bar etc..

The only way of avoiding panel damage with the xrox would be if he was lying down..
Good excuse to lift it higher.. lol
