2005-2006 Gu 3.0 litre owners

No problems... but the low down usable torque is still crap....

Hi All,

My 2005 model has been perfect, a pleasure to drive. We are driving to France, Belgium into Amsterdam in 5 Weeks with it, about 4000 K in total.

Real good, bar the suspension. It's garbage.

Cheers

Mine has been great no problems apart from the turbo lag when taking off from a standing start, but you learn to live with it. I ditched the standard suspension eary on in the piece and went for an OME set up......very happy.

G'day Dave,

Series IV with 42,000km's no serious problems all standard suspension at the moment. Put Cooper ATR's on from new, very good quiet tyre. Went with the Auto as it is the daily driver and am very happy I did.

Did develop a very slight squeak that you could only hear at some times with ear near engine, nissan replaced the belt and belt tensioner hasn't sqeaked since.

Aaron.

GUIV no problems. Mine is a manual. Be aware of the difference in Power/Torque between the manual and auto.

I have replaced the alloys with 16 inch steels and tyres with BFG's from new ( and also the appropriate tyre placard which is a Nissan part).

Tows our camper really well. The single rear reversing light and fragile rear light mounts (in bumper) are a pain. Turbo lag below about 1200 rpm can be a pain. Auto disguises this.

Standard springs with poly airs in the rear. Replaced original shocks with OME .

Apart from a hopeless dealer, good vehcile. I would suggest the auto if a lot of town work. Approaching 40,000k to date.

Regards

Paul

Go the 4.2!!! hahahahaha ;-))

Hi,

Have a 2005 auto. Has only done 12,000 klms. Blew the turbo hose off at 6,300 klms - wasn't very impressed with that. Apart from that no other problems to date,

Regards,
Neil

Jan '06 ST-S Auto. 6,000 km's. No problems.

Fuel 11 to 12 litres per 100km so far. The auto is great. Hate the convex mirror on the drivers side - impossible to judge distances when reversing into a park or when towing.
