Just asking

Hey guys... I know the recall for the bonnet thing is only with the D40's but I have a D22 and when im on the freeway my bonnet seems to move quiet alot is this normal? I mean its never happened on any of my other cars...

Where is it moving.Is it at the front where the lock is or on the sides where the gaurd lines are

If your bonnet is actually moving there are rubber adjusters that you can manipulate to make it settle. Slip your fingers under the gap as much as you can and see if you can lift it or press it - if it moves, adjust the rubber stoppers by twisting them. Usually, anticlockwise makes them lower, clockwise makes them higher - but haven't done this on the D22.

If the bonnet latch isn't being held low enough, you could try moving the striker plate downwards (I'm not even sure if the D22's is adjustable). Check for damage in the cross member too - it might need a panel shop's attention. If there is damage and it lets go at high speed, it's very, very dangerous.

Edit: if it's moving in relation to the bullbar ONLY, then it might be cabin movement and a trick of the eyes. You might check your cabin (body) mounts to make sure they're not loose, but other than that don't worry too much!

Yeah the latch is adjustable, good point about the rubbers Tony.

Shit you are up early.

Not unusual for me to be up at that time. I go for a 5km walk at 5am every day. Tired of being a fat bastard, so I'm doing something about it.

I usually go to bed at 4am everyday.

I run enough for work.

Don't mean to go off topic, but whats the D40 bonnet recall? Mine squeeks like all fk and is annoying the shit out of me

Surely you've read this link below, half of it is D22 drivers telling us our utes are crap but it was a fairly hot topic for a while. It may not have been on the KC's though. Either way Nissan should have sent you a letter if you were effected.
