Not that you probably care now and have worked it out, but if the GVM is under 4.5t its a car legally and rego wise in NSW.

Re: 2012 Nissan D40 STX V6 diesel

There is 2 different diff centres in teh 550 apparently and it requires the Vin to know which one.

Seriously nissan, these things are a mess to source parts both aftermarket and genuine.

For the last time, the mount is generic, it fits, it was the posts of the bar fouling on the clutch.

I have coil bucket contact on full droop, does it help with that? I'll definitely look into extended ball joints though

Can't say I've noticed, I have a decent lift kit so I'm not sure if that fixed it.

Anyone installed after market upper control Arms?

You can get a custom tune done, they switch the egr off. No faults or issues.

Problem is it is about 1800 for the tune.

Re: 2012 Nissan D40 STX V6 diesel

Mine threw an engine light last night, took it in this morning there is a nissan bulletin about the egr programming, reprogrammed it, threw the light again this afternoon.

Seemed to go better after the reprogram and the 2nd light. Now with the light on driving normal.

I'd ask an engineer, anything over 2" should be engineered, he should let you know yay or nay.

Your brakes might come up soon, genuine PARTS ONLY 720, pads and discs.

They're designed to need new discs, a 'soft compound rotor to reduce brake squeal ' was the nissan line

Re: Arb bars only taking warn winches

The point of the post is that ARB have changed my bar at least so far so that you can only fit a warn winch, the bar fouls with the free spool lever and you just can't bolt the thing in.

Be warned. (Get it)

Re: Arb bars only taking warn winches

All depends on the distance from the mounting bolts to the clutch lever. I saw a tigerz I think that might have enough, be interesting to see if this is model specific, but suspicious as the winch design has changed.

I've got a stx navara with the v6 diesel, which means it's hard to get aftermarket gear as everything is just that little but different.

I replaced mine because; I'd heard they fail, I'd heard that the soft pipe doesn't help with turbo lag. I'm happy with the upgrade, there is a slight but noticeable boost in performance.

No pics handy, but if I remember I will.

Can't hold any gear in manual which blows when towing offroad.
