Has anyone replaced/ sourced the nylon bushes that seat in the fan belt tensioner pulley shockey? One seats on the bottom of the little tensioner shockey and bolts into the engine block. You cant buy parts for them from nissan or parts stores. You have to buy pretty much the whole setup.

The last couple of weeks once my gearbox gets hot I can smell gear box oil in the cab once I change gears. I have pulled the gear lever out and noticed the nylon bushes plus the gear lever housing to be slightly worn. Has anyone else had this problem and how much did the parts cost? I have...

I have done a search but can't seem to find anything on aftermarket seat modification for a d22. Has anyone changed their front stock seats to seats from other vehicles? How hard was it to get the base to fit the new seat? Or is it simply easier to put aftermarket seats in (eg recaro etc)?

Hi, I want to put a roof rack above the canvas canopy that will attach to the head board and rear roll bar of my steel tray. The problem I have is how to safely mount the roof rack to the tray to compensate for the issue of sheer force (stopping in a hurry and not having the weight break the...

Hi all, I have bought a tray to go on my D22 dual cab. It came off the current model hilux dual cab and of course has different mounting points to the navara. Can anyone please help me with some measurements I need? - The height of the tray brackets/ cross members (eg 100mm 'C' section, etc)...

Hi all, I am changing my ute tub to a steel tray and want to put a canvas canopy on with roof bars or tradie rack for my roof top tent. I am trying to decide on the best way to install roof bars, etc on top of the canvas canopy. Does anyone have a setup like this or have seen one. Pictures or...

I was finally able to get my 3" mandrel bent exhaust done but unfortunately the bloke coundn't bend the pipe to make a new dump pipe. However, he was able to "clean" out the original cat. Personally I wanted it from the turbo back but I'm not complaining as I believe it was a good price for what...

Just wondering if it is possible to get the ECU re-programmed to improve fuel economy and power instead of putting a chip in and if its cost benefit is better than a chip? If you know that the ECU can be re-programmed can you please tell me who would do it?

I have had to get my a/c regassed twice recently. First time, the gas slowly leaked out and the a/c techie thought it was an issue with the valves where the gas is removed and injected. The second visit he replaced the valves and o rings on the compressor where the pipe connects. He checked for...

Hi all, I have an 02 dx d22 t/d. They originally came out with a tyre size of 205/80 r16. I currently run 225/75 r16, the biggest the standard wheel will take. I know the str came out with bigger wheels and tyres and both specs have the same gearing. My question is, when any of you increased...

What brands of turbo boost gauges are worth buying? Any to stay away from? What is the approximate cost? Cheers

Just curious if anyone has done research on replacing a zd30 motor with an alternative motor if it every blew up? What brands and specs?

Every so often when the wheel travel extends to the downward limit on the front end of the d22 I get a metal on metal sound. It doesn't always happen but when it does it is usually on a sharp, sudden downward movement. In saying that is has happened when starting to reverse up a steep incline...

I am looking at updating the standard 16 x 6 inch DX rims on my navara to the 16 x 7 inch rim size of the str model. I am looking at putting 265/ 75 tyres on next and need the wider rims. Can someone give me the correct offset for the latter rim size? Will this change the diff ratios much or...

Was looking in the latest 4wd action mag and noticed an add from 4wd systems advertising exhaust upgrades now. Has anyone had anything to do with this company as the price for the 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust and dump pipe doesn't seem to bad? I will have to give them a call and find out a bit more.

Well i made a mistake on one of the other threads where i said I didn't have any oil/sludge buildup in the manifold when i did the egr mod. Decided to take a closer look by removing the piece of cast inlet (splits form one hole into two) that contains the butterfly valves. I was astonished as...

Quick question. Is it possible to undo the 3 bolts on the front of the turbo without the turbine, etc having to come out? Just want to check the internals/ turbine for any sign of damage/ wear and thought that would be the best way?

I am in the process of buying a 2.5" exhaust system for my d22. However, the supplier can't source just an aftermarket dump pipe for a d22 3l td. He usually cleans out the factory dump pipe. But when I asked him if he could source an after market dump pipe he got back to me and said he would...

Just after the size of the spanner required to release the pressure of the small shock absrober that tensions the fan belt. If you have done this is it best to do it from the top of the car or underneath? Does anything else have to be removed to get access to it? Or is there any trick to this...

I have a catch can but it does not have a baffle inside of it to help improve trapping the vapourised oil/ air mix. I read an article where a man made his own catch can for his 3.0L patrol and used a pod filter out of a safari snorkel. Can anyone see any issue with this or can someone suggest...
