Hi Navara family,
I might be an intruder here, since the tailgate of my D22 says Frontier, lol.
It's a 2007 Japanese model, with a ZD30DDT, can't find any info and details on it.
Except that it seems identical to Australian Navara D22 model.
I'm on an island in the Caribbean, and I've been looking for a 4 door ute for a while. It's nearly impossible to import one since it has to be less than 10 years old and then pay 120% taxes one the value + freight.
Anyhow, finally got lucky with that D22.
It's a Nissan Frontier CNUD22 2007 from Japan, chassis Jn1cnud22z0013479, model cwsurcfd22twnajrhe, with a ZD30 diesel engine and has 160 000 miles on the speedo.
It belonged to the local water authority, so it's beat up and in bad shape but the maintenance must have been done properly throughout it's life.
I need help from you guys to bring it back in shape.
I can't identify what model was it in the USA, it seems like a Frontier 2nd gen face-lift ? Maybe a Navara 2006 ? 2001 frontier crew cab ?
Being in the Caribbean I could get parts for Miami weekly, even though it's 46% import duties.
When looking for D22 parts it's mainly Australian and Thailand listings.
I desperately need a steering wheel without airbag, shifter boot, upper glove box, front left door arm rest cover, a windscreen washer tank, gaz/accelerator pedal cover, front right seatbelt cover, right side front seat lever cover to purchase.
I've attached pics of everything.
And yes I know that back bumper is very ugly, lol.
I also need advice on styling it, I've got no idea where to start.
I think the flares in that plastic black looks really ugly. I'm sending it in a few weeks to the paint shop, they'll clean and fix the whole body and the pan.
They'll undercoat and prime everything needed, paint again some liner in the pan.
Can't find inexpensive good looking 16" rims for now, so I'll clean and repaint the original ones, just in black.
And I think I'll paint everything in a cobalt blue metallic or candy blue metallic, I'll paint the body and the flares same color, hopefully it makes the flares good looking again.
I'm removing that big frame off the back of course, and redoing the seats.
Not sure what to do with the grill color and overall style, any advice would be great.
Looking for used parts of course, unfortunately can't find scrap yards locally with these D22.
I've found a complete filter kit from Australia, I've already ordered, with 2 x oil filter, 2 x fuel filter and an air filter.
I've noticed some lack of power when starting parked on a slanted hill, seems like it's normal until boost builds up ?
Does it means it might need a new clutch kit soon ?
Found one shop locally, that sells the disc for $180us ? but no kit.
If someone knows of a scrap yard, at least for a steering wheel, I'll be very thankful.
Don't mind compensating a bit for their time.
Thanks in advance.
