They reduced mine to $1000 but I told them it was still to much. Got it done at local 4x4 business using genuine parts for about $600. 4x4 business had previously serviced my patrol for 10 yrs with no issues. Mick

Lyle, Thanks mate. Have had a look on line and sent them an e mail. Mick

Hello all. Has anyone fitted a larger fuel tank. I looked at an auxillary tank but would rather replace the original tank with (100 - 120lt ). Mick

Hi Tom, Like Hunter I got one of the first in my area, just on 30 000 kms. Trip to Qld just finished, fully loaded and fuel use ranged 8.5 to 10 lts per 100ks. Very happy with vehicle. Only downside is 80lt tank as I tow a large caravan. Have to check about a larger tank. Also welcome...

Just on 23000k on mine. Still going like dream. Fuel use around 9 on hwy and 10/11 around town. Goes in Monday to have rust repaired from the hard lid hinge bracket holes when I fitted a canopy. Talk about a long drawn out saga, started before xmas but at last Nissan has agreed to fix it. Mick

Jase thanks for that. I will chase them up and see if they are suitable Mick

No mate, not at this time, would like the whole package to go as unit. Mick

Anybody interested in buying the hard lid off my Navara STX 550. Arctic White in colour. Like brand new. Comes complete with all fittings and the black carry bar. I have fitted a canopy so no longer need hard lid. regards Mick

Hello all. I have got my hard lid and carrybar up for sale if anyone is interested. STX 550 Arctic White, excellent condition. Mick

Got my canopy fitted today. Looks great. I removed the hard lid myself. Not that difficult but when removed the base for the hinges by drilling out the rivets found that when they drilled to fit the unit they never removed the drill shavings from between the tub and the hinge system and now...

Hello Hunter, got the black ripple ECB Bar on mine, they look good. Canopy has arrived so better get down and collect it. Going to fit it myself at this time as the dealer is saying two hours labour at close to $100/hr. I can find better things to do with $200. Mick

My dealer had no idea either. Would you believe they got my lid lock and fitted it the other day. I went to open the lid after getting the vehicle back and it would not open, either with electric or manual lock. Took it back and they were scratching their heads for a while on how to get in...

Hi Hunter, mine split an intercooler hose a couple of months back. Was leaking oil on the garage floor. They got a new one within a couple of days and fitted it. Vehicle had about 10,000ks up at the time. About to order a canopy from Nissan for mine. Mick

The lady I dealt with is away at present. She told me they would get one of the Nissan Canopies for me with lift up windows, she also believed that Nissan contract was changing ?????. Supplied and fitted for about $3600. Dealer where I bought my car quoted me $4050 + fitting. Mick

I think the importer is SuperF Spares, one in Melbourne and one in Qld I have made enquiries with them and I believe they can supply and fit. Going to get one on mine soon. Mick
