Perhaps you need some driving lessons in a manual?:aetsch:

Wait till mid or end of this year and trade it in for the new model Nav. 145kw and 450Nm from the same engine, and if we're lucky - Nissan might decide to give us an early Christmas surprise by bringing in the 'monster' V6 turbo diesel as well.:tee:

Definitely something wrong with your car, unless that's how all King cabs are made. I get 9litre/100km with my dual cab driven in traffic each and every time. Like clockwork, the fuel light comes on at 750km give or take a few k's for every 68litres of fuel i put in. I just love it...

Having a defect is not the issue here. Like you said, every manufacturer has problems. The issue is that the defect was related to safety (accelerator pedal getting stuck/ car suddenly accelerating), and Toyota knew about it a long time ago but did nothing to fix the problem. The issue is...

Seeing how the defects in Toyotas in the US have contributed to more than 50 deaths due to the sudden and uncontrollable acceleration, and Toyota intentionally ignoring the defect even though they knew of it, I myself and my friends have decided that we are not going to buy another Toyota. I...

I doubt that the new Navara for the Aussie market is going to have a V6 diesel. It's going to be the same 4 cylinder engine but with an extra tune to get it to around 135kw and 450Nm. There is no business sense for Nissan to be releasing a big V6 to destroy the competition. All they have to do...

It still amazes me that with the current technology in LCD screens, big companies like Pioneer and Kenwood are still producing car DVD players with a resolution of only 480X240 and charging a premium for them. I went to Tonkins the other day and the guy wanted to charge me $3000 for a 480x240...

True, but only to some degree. Do you realize that some of the Pioneer and Kenwood systems you buy are made by the same company that makes these DVD systems in China? The internals are pretty much all the same. In essence, you are getting the same system but without the brand name tax. Do...

Yeah, it'll fit. These 'China' brand DVD players are pretty good value for money. get a reverse camera as well while your at it. I notice that the resolution is only 480x240. That is really poor, hence the low price. You should get one with a resolution of 800x420 and with DBT (digital tv) tuner...

That rear power power window is a gimmick. You need to sit at the back seat and the tray has to be uncovered in order for you to be able to reach in and grab something. Who drives their ute around carrying things without a cover these days?

Punching out the cat will actually not make your Nav's performance any better. Why? Since the cat is wider than the rest of your exhaust system, by hollowing it out, you create a 'chamber' for the exhaust gases to accumulate and 'swirl' around. Exhaust gases entering the cat will expand to...

Yeah, get aftermarket side steps. The genuine Nissan ones are POS. They do not extend far enough to cover the body panel just in front of the rear wheels, hence you get stones flying and hitting that area. Took my titanium to Kangaroo Island for 2 days. Travel about 160kms of dirt road at...

Is it just me or is it that the more I look at the Mitsubishi Triton, the uglier it gets? It's just weird because I always find myself disliking the looks of a car at the beginning and then it gradually 'grows' on you and the car becomes more eye pleasing. With the Triton, it's the opposite. I...

There's a thread where one member installed a Diesel power chip (I think) to his ST-R and the power increase was marginal - only about 5%. He was very disappointed and wanted a refund.

Forget the XS. Go for the XT and you'll never look back. Put in an exhaust, replace the intercooler with the WRX STi intercooler, get bigger mags and tires and whoalla - you've got yourself a beast that'll smoke any V6 bogandore
