Been trying to sort out some overheating issues with my Nav. While flushing the radiator last night, I noticed one of the vacuum hoses had crushed. I've attached a drawing of the hose in question. As this solenoid connects to the EGR actuator, I'm assuming it was causing it to stick wide open...

Hi all, Been having a few problems with my 04 D22 overheating over 100km/h. I've got a new set of hoses on the way and I'm gonna rip out the radiator this weekend and give it a good flush. (as good as I can without pulling the tanks off) Any pointers for picking a blocked radiator? I've been...

Hi All, Been having some temp problems with my '04 ZD30 Nav. Runs fine until I go over 2500rpm on the highway then the temp gauge starts rising. I've put in a high flow thermostat, chemically flushed the cooling system and put good 50/50 glycol coolant back in and not much difference. Also...

Hi All, Silly question, where's the thermostat on these things? Had a look and can't see an obvious location! Figure it's easier to ask before I start pulling things apart trying to find it!

Hi All, In the middle of installing a couple mods to my Nav... just installed a Bogaard turbo timer, easier thing I've ever done on a car! Decided I'd add a central locking kit and as my Nav is too old by 20 days for a Nissan kit, I've got a generic one from a local auto shop. All seems...

Hi All, After spending some considerable time finding a turbo whistle in my D22 (and sh**ting my pants every time I drove it) I've decided that an intercooler needs to go to the top of my list for mods! Primary reason is to prevent debris entering the engine if the turbo goes bang. However as...

Hi All, I recently came into some new whistling noises coming from under my bonnet. I'm almost certain that it's a boost leak, however an industrial mechanic had a quick look for me and thought it may be coming from the alternator. I'm not sold on the noise coming from the alternator, however...

Hi guys, My 04 D22 ZD30 recently developed a new turbo whistle. I went through and check all of the air intake side and replaced the hoses with no luck. Pulled the front of the turbo and checked for movement in the impeller, it seemed really solid. Just checked the bolts on the back of the...

Hi all, Just noticed a crack in my ARB canopy and wondering if it s a common occurrence if if anyone has suggestions on how to patch it up! I've only had my D22 for about 6 months and believe the Canopy is about 5 years old. I've taken her on a few rough trips, but as she's got stock...

Hi All, Recently picked up an 04 Navara and looking to upgrade the tyres before it’s first decent off road trip. Being an 04, the standard tyre size is 265/70 R16. As I want something with a bit aggressive tread, I really only have a choice of 265/75 R16 or 245/75 R16. Doesn’t have a lift kit...

Hi All... first confession - I'm a fresh Nav owner! Been hunting though posts and found a bunch of info... but I want something specific to my situation! Just picked up an '04 D22 ST-R Dual cab. Great condition, but it has some crappy Chinese Sailun Teramax H/T tyres on it! I'm planning a big...

Hi all, picked up an 04 ZD30 D22 a couple weeks ago and I'm just starting to get her ready for play! One thing I have noticed is that top end speed and pickup is a bit lower than I'd like. She sits on around 2850rpm at 110km/h but need a good run up to overtake. I'm happy with the low end...
