The 4WD ute is fast replacing the sedan in Australia as the go-to family chariot. 15%, or one in every 6 or 7 vehicles new vehicles sold in Australia, was a 4WD ute. That sort of dominance was only bested by the small car (17%) and small SUV segments (17%).
Because they’re such a popular option for families and businesses alike, many of them rarely see conditions harder than the odd gutter. It’s a shame, because they are capable of so, so much more. One good example of this is the CarAdvice Nissan Navara.
It’s a 2017 Navara SL, which has been busy conquering the urban jungles of Melbourne and Sydney. Carparks and shopping centres are a tough environment, and this ute has the scars to prove it. The SL specification isn’t available anymore, which is a bit of a shame. It combined the 140kW twin-turbocharged engine with steel wheels and a basic interior. Perfect for a few modifications.

for people love modification; i recommend ARB Air Locker andDobinsons MRR (but pay attention to PROFENDER MRR adjustable shocks)
Looks good and all how much did it cost
what a beauty..
Got a white new Navara for towing too :)
I bought a 2020 SL navara i got the Nissan upgrade black pack Rims not sure if its the tyres or suspension but it handles terribly in the wet, very tail happy.
Brakes also stronger steering ends and also comprods. LSD differential helps wit the fwd
What's the price on this setup I have the same car
What size rim and Tyre did you put after the suspension lift ? Just got my SL 2017 and looking to make like yours without the crazy engineering.
How's the ride quality after the modification? Did it become bumpy?
2:16 bigger piston in the shock... You sure lol they look the same OD 🤣
I love the Navara but I would love to see these mod comparisons with the Ford Ranger/raptor.
What size rim and tyre did you get ?
2:53 the air bag corrects the spring rate.... Yea righto what ever you recon mate..lol
stock rim is 16 inch so stock tires are within the 31 inch range, pretty sure the new tires are 33 inch as per the "minimal lift". good place to start though, keep up the good work and great vids
What size of tires... What models of Bilstein shocks absorbers? Can you give more detailed info please!
The tyres look like and most likely are 265/75R16 and the bilsteins shocks are standard 2" ones, meaning no adjustable dampening.
@@xXRand0mGuyXx1 any idea on the offset of the steel rims?
So u start by saying all it can do then u modify it so what it's suppose to be able to do it will do?
Hi caradvice. Can you post a picture of thr upper control arm of this navara? With the 2" lift?
Did changing the tyre size affect the speedometer/odometer accuracy? What affect did the modifications have on fuel economy?
I was thinking the same!
Changing tyre size will affect your speedometer. There is a website that gives you a rough average of what it will be. Going from the standard size tyre 255/70R16 to a 265/75R16 will roughly be out by 3-4km/h however your standard speedometer isn't completely accurate from factory. Fuel economy will be affected however since it's not a massive increase in tyre size it will only change 1-1.5L/100km on average
@@xXRand0mGuyXx1 that's wrong mate, i have 265 75 r16s on my nav and it corrects the speed. When I set my car to 100km cruise control the GPS speed is 100 aswell
@@trent4439 Nissan's Speedos come out of the factory 4km/h slower to comply with ADR rule 18 (the 10% higher or lower). Such that this is a 4wd vehicle, it is expected that people will do tyres and a lift. That's why the Speedos read higher than true "road speed".
I think my navara came with 255/60R18. I changed those to 285/55R18 (Cooper AT3). Now the speedometer is spot on (compared with my GPS). Fuel economy has gone down about 5 to 10% - seems to be less affected on country roads and more on motor way.
You need wheel alignment
posts a 4x4 mod video doesnt list the car and gear
What wheel offset you went ?
What size tires did you install?
Looks like 265/75R16
@@xXRand0mGuyXx1 that looks a bit small for 265
This is accurate to the engine , this modified
Don’t expect to have any new car warranty if you fit any accessories including genuine
I had a rear axel seal fail any Nissan Australia would not cover it
48500klms just under 2years old
Daniel Van der Meer they have to prove that any faults to a specific part of the vehicle are caused by the modified parts. Always get assurance and documentation from the parts supplier that their parts will not avoid warranty.
Yea they know what there doing...lol working with floor jacks on the ground lol
How does a Navara compare to a GU Patrol offroad?
SL 4x4 or 4x2?
4X4
FUCKEN GOOD. With capital letters
buy a mig welder your going to need it to fix that rusty frame
Why Nissan comes with a old Kia Sorento front ? Pffff
what are those rims?
Sunnies
sounds like you reading a bed time story to a 3yr old
How can they sell a car as a 3t tow vehicle and then not fit equipment that can put up with it? There’s a rat here somewhere...
Right or wrong, legal or not not... a lift in ride height and bigger wheels is gonna see many people defected. QLD cops currently going after all lifted 4x4's - for no good reason of course. SA cops are going after legally fitted lift kits with no need to prove their claims.... sad state of affairs....
David Forster I thought they scrapped operation lift in qld after that many petitions from the 4x4 community and because the government had no statistical evidence to back their claims for the operation
Next bullbar and removing that ugly sports bar
Kowaka sa pawerbank
Waste of time and money, there biggest pile of shit going, i own one, no f____g parts them, any other 4x4 is better then a navara, its a shame, 50k down the drain,
So, you're NOT happy Chris???
SERIOUS question Chris, WHY was it 'KRAPP' ?
WHAT went wrong?
''No f____g parts them"??? - Do you mean there are no spare parts for them?
I am Seriously thinking about purchasing one, a STX.
Regards.
