It's not a problem, perfectly normal. Hilux/jeep all the same.

Yeah mine does it too mate, I have found different fuels make it worse than others. BP is especially bad. Caltex is the best I have found. Runs pretty good on caltex.

I asked Nissan about it and their response was extremely official "We have inspected it and everything is within acceptable tolerance" blah blah blah......
