Personally I would keep the newer. With the older car you'll be wishing you keeped the nav. A gq's running cost (repairs and maintenance) wouldn't be cheap and cause more frustration than the frustration in affording the nav. Plus how long can you keep the gq vs the nav. Meaning sell the nav...

Hi, look forward to the pic's. Welcome to the site, I'm also pretty new here but have found this site to be the best Nav site on the net.

Thought Id attach some pics from a trip to Bourke. The one with the cotton on the side of the road is about 80k west of Moree. The flat open road is about 40k south of Bourke (mitchel hwy). (normally this is red soil country, but there has been plenty of rain) The Kangaroo sign with the balls...

Basically and ST-X with: Hard Lid Tub liner Tinted Rear Windows and Rear Doors (none on the Front Doors) Stone Guard on the bonnet nose the roof rack and sports bar Fog Lights 550 Badge (the mega expensive but worth it bit) When I ordered my one the options we purchased where: Tow bar Tinted...

Well done on the car... by any chance did you pass through up on the Central Coast last week. I was in Wyong near the TAFE when a Black 550 drove past me.

Its due to a larger intercooler in the nose. That's proably also the reason for the slightly longer nose. Chris

Diesel. Better range from a Tank, and like the mid range tourque Chris

Out of interst, I unclipped the air box and drove it about 200m to see what sort of sound would come out of the turbo, and WOW did it sound sweet. Does anyone think a sports air filter would go a long way to get some more noise out of the turbo. LOL I liked Tony's suggestion of a 4' exhaust...

Lock the hard lid manually with the key and leave it locked, the central locking for the hard lid will not work if the hard lid has been unlocked with the key. Chris

They did something to the seal.. It was good for a day but started happening again.... I will be taking the car back in for the rear quarter seal and some headlight covers. Chris

There you go Krafty the 550 really is an upgrade mate :thank_you2:

Lock the boot lid manually with the key. Then the central locking will work. If you unlock it with the key the central locking will no longer work. Tailgate does not lock with central locking, so I leave mine permantly locked Chris

If its got more power and warms up the cooling climate, I love it. (any upgrade to power is a good upgrade) I'm hoping nissan will have a v8 twin turbo diesel (with LSD) by the time the lease is up in 5yrs. Chris

The GU its her third child.

Point taken, but I've got a GUIII Patrol for that sort off stuff. (well sort of, I need to convice the misses to hand over the keys to her shopping car first, its like blood from a stone) Chris

Anyone going to the no carbon tax rally tomorrow? (Hyde Park)

An interesting clip from Prof. Robert Carter: 2GB Media Player - Professor Robert Carter on the carbon tax Info on rob for those curious: RMC biography Robert M. Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chris

Hi welcome Jase, I'm sure you be happy with the car... I've had this stupid looking ear to ear grin since I've picked my one up. Chris

Yeh that was me. My car has come back now after the first service, the items I picked up on where: Steering Wheel not straight Bolt on the sports bar loose (dropped out into the tub) Scratch and dent on the bonnet Air leaking through the passanger side rear quarter window at 110ks The plastic...

I'm amazed at the amount of torque, it definatley pleases. I've got 1,500km already and its going in for it's first service already. :) If you sink the boot in on take off it will start spinning the wheels when it passes 2,000rpm, its very aggressive through to 3rd. The interesting part though...
