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.

@JakeFromSnowFarm 5 жыл бұрын

The tyres look like and most likely are 265/75R16 and the bilsteins shocks are standard 2" ones, meaning no adjustable dampening.

@carlosizz89 5 жыл бұрын

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

Did changing the tyre size affect the speedometer/odometer accuracy? What affect did the modifications have on fuel economy?

@EfraKrajo 5 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same!

@JakeFromSnowFarm 5 жыл бұрын

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

@@JakeFromSnowFarm 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

@theblackduck6038 5 жыл бұрын

@@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".

@nikolajrahbek3356 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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....
