i'd guess 10,000km oil changes isn't the best for a turbo's bearings when it comes to a deisel engine due to the soot. again pushes the need for egr removal and 5000km oil/filter changes. tweak how long to you let the engine run before shut off?

the concern is all about lubrication of the injector pump ProNav. older pumps that leak from low sulfur deisel is a seperate issue. sulfur does lubricate the pump and this is well known (though the word grease is the wrong translation). while todays pumps are designed for ULSD they do not have...

hmmm after reading more into it i might give it a go one of these days :D Good find Jason!

I know running 2-stroke in a rotary motor (which also has similar benefits) will kill a catalytic converter if it is equipped with one. While it may produce less soot then diesel I’d imagine the oily residue won't be any better for the DPF especially at the concentration of 300mL/70L. I'm also...

i'm not sure if it's this particular model but i know they had probs with overheating gearboxes and head gaskets. keep researching as there is a reason they are so cheap. they are hard to sell. a mate had 2 of them cause he was sucked in by the cheap price too and sold one for a big loss and the...

Bugger I never noticed the turbo isn't water cooled!! From what I've read on the forums I got the impression the compressor wheel fails. Not your typical turbo failure. maybe not... But isn't that what happened to Josh's turbos? I can only see 2 ways for the compressor wheel failing. 1 is the...

This is what has me worried. What seems to happen is the compressor wheel shatters and gets thrown through the motor and kills it too. I know how to check my turbo's bearings. But checking the integrity of the compressor wheel is another thing. From what I have read some who have the turbos fail...

and make sure the air filter is clean

Cooroibah. Very close access to Noosa North Shore :D

stay away from the paint protection. we had it done to our suzuki vitara and it came back with deep swirl marks all over it. turns out they use a clay bar first before appling the coating. if i knew they rub the factory clear coat with a clay bar i would of never had it done in the 1st place...

manual says Nissan ATF or API GL-4 (no viscosity stated). Manual Transmission also uses GL-4 but also has reccomended viscosity of 75w85

i haven't got 1 but ideally it needs to go before the turbo

9.5l /100kms mostly highway using bp ultimate diesel

-i'm lov'n the ZD30DDT engine! -the oil catch tray beneath the oil filter assembly

i'm doing 300km a day atm. but i guess i'm comparing that to my cramped up motorbike position. yeh the centre seat is a laugh

having the dx single cab model i don't like the seat design. it's 1 single unit and has no adjustment in tilt. it's not uncomfy though

haha thanks The only dark side to luxs is the ridiculous prices that are demanded for them. Though the later models I’m not entirely convinced are what they once were which I guess makes their prices even more ludicrous

Hey guys, picking up a 06 single cab D22 Dx 3L TD this arvo. Current mods are only Nissan steel bull bar, tow bar and snorkal. When I get home change the oils and fit spotties off my old hilux. Hope to be lifting it 2" with Ironman nitro gas shocks front and rear medium load rear leaf springs in...
