why you keep saying that the engine loud, the engine isn't as loud as before i find it very quiet , the hilux on the other hand , got two coworkers with the new hilux but with previous 3l engine and that when it starts up is loud compared to my isuzu engine.
that head ache rack ..is for people who dont use a van like a van . them does only carry groceries in d tray . my partna had a 09 model bt50 with that rack n chop it off . i keep mines ..n then he asking me to deliver stuff for him .. cause he doh wanna use his van . lol .agent007 wrote:There is a huge concern for many would-be van purchasers about the lack of the protective bar behind the cab itself to facilitate carrying long objects etc. Nissan calls this the “headache” rack. These racks for the NP300 are standard on the S and SE lines but absent on the XE and LE lineup. You can buy this rack as an accessory item and it is bolted to the tray via 6 mounting points. Have it painted to match the colour of your van before installing. The approx. total cost for this item (including painting and installation) is $2k.
You can also get a fabricator to customize one for you because even though the XE and LE’s don’t come with this particular rack, as I mentioned before, the 6 mounting points are there. Given climate/weather/terrain circumstances of today, having a 4wd double cab pickup is a must have.
Research before you attempt to buy other vans apart of the Nissan if such a rack can be installed. I know as a fact that Nissan designed their tray to accommodate it as an after purchase install. I noticed the 2.4 auto Hilux comes with that bar standard as well which is a huge plus who see this feature as a must have the way we did.
Our Hilux got 500 or so kms per tank in its best day. I know if driven more gently it may crack into the 600 range but I never personally saw that. The NP300 we have only has 400kms on the odo as I type and the tank is still above half. I would say it appears the np300 will be able to achieve the 600kms range easily.
In the pic I posted before, look closely and you would see the rack installed at the rear. So cost breakdown is as follows:
$309,000. For van
$2,400. Tray liner (free from Massy via ‘special’ promotion)
$450. tint
$650. Lenny sumadh plates
$1,000. reverse sensors
$2,000. tray bar aka headache bar
$1,200. Front mud guards
$500. Chrome handle inserts
$500. Door visors
$800. Front bug deflector
$300. Protective door edge trim
$500. chrome border trim on lights
$100. steering cover
$100. Nissan branded valve caps
$200. Nissan branded leather key pouch
$13,000. Roll and lock tray cover
For those who prefer the chrome roll bar to the back which comes with a third stop light in it, prepare to spend $4,000.
We got free genuine Weathertech branded all-weather rubber floor mats with the van and as you may know, these mats aren’t the regular generic $199. mats you find at any parts place.
If someone has the prices on the rear tow hitch, roof rack cross bars and the front nudge bar, I would be grateful if you can share the same and indicate where it can be procured.
I hope the info was useful and do note, these prices are from the top of my head so I won’t be surprised if someone points out more accurate pricing.
u do know is d same as stating distance per tank.. multiply your 10km by your tank size n u in d same answer to what them sayingkamakazi wrote:Stating how much distance you get per tank isn't very helpful...

Yeah, I usually wonder if the electronics aren't at a greater risk, I guess each vehicle may locate them differently.kamakazi wrote:Does a snorkel make much sense....I can't see it being useful unless you drop that corner into the deep end...I haven't had a chance to check the height of the electronics in the van but I have a feeling that it could potentially give up before water becomes a problem for your intake
Tbh...from talking to snorkel guys, you get more benefit for cool air rather than water resistance.kamakazi wrote:Does a snorkel make much sense....I can't see it being useful unless you drop that corner into the deep end...I haven't had a chance to check the height of the electronics in the van but I have a feeling that it could potentially give up before water becomes a problem for your intake

Most vehicles carry a drain hole at the bottom of the airbox, being submerged for any extended period can allow water in the airbox.
Also, most staters arent completely sealed so you may lose a starter
Most new vehicles come with the alternator mounted low also.
Lastly, if the diff and axles or tranny were warm and you entered water, the rapid cooling can cause water to enter through the breather.
So you need to also consider diff breathers mounted high.
