Thanks for the reply with the pic. I can see the difference now. Interesting that Nissan would maintain the two "shapes" as current. Surely that must increase the overall cost for them. It would be...

I'm really tempted by the Viper alarm, but it seems to come with a SIM card that includes all traffic charges in both Australia and the US. Not sure how that would work in PNG. Might have to contact...

So this is a 2012 vehicle in PNG ... how does that compare to the Australian revisions? Are you saying that there is a later revision in Australia? Where do they differ?

Ingenuity or folly? I hear they are really closely related.

SD Cards don't use a magnetic medium, so no impact at all!

I have a Postie Bike in PNG, which I ride around the university campus where I work. Have just bought a second one, that will be arriving in about four weeks.

Oh, and I have a BMW R1200GS (like...

Looks horrible ... and makes no sense at all, especially given that sedans have to have a higher light in their rear window!

I've done heaps of these on my motorcycle when touring South East Asia. I never did a front tyre, only ever the rear. Apparently when you run over a nail with the front tyre, it makes the nail stand...

Carrying loads on the roof can never be cheap, as your fuel consumption takes a tumble!! :-(

I agree - add more lights!

So I guess the manufacturers removed the higher lights for cost reasons, but it is legal to use them (as long as it is in addition to the lower lights)?

Just out of interest, what is it about Australian Regulations that has many 4WDs not utilise the 'normal' rear lights?

I bought 80 litres today for K265 (or about K3.30 per litre). At today's exchange rate that would be about AU$1.30 - quite reasonable really.

Here are some pics.

One of the key benefits of being in a developing country has to do with limited regulation. For example, there is no speed control in PNG - zippo, nil, nada. Although the speed...

Can you expand on 'in the rear bar'. Do you have a picture?

Slightly off topic, but I have similar lights on my motorbike.

The top centre ligths are the normal and high beams.

The next lights down are LED running and high beams (ie. they have two...

I have been tempted by this camera. Have you found a good place to mount?

I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to add speakers in the back. Does anyone know?

I like the Greddy gauges, but over $400? Ouch!

I have heaps of old HDDs, and never thought of stripping them for the magnets. Great idea!!

The thought has crossed my mind to bring it back to Oz with me when I return home in a few years. Will see how things go.

I didn't know that rego was more for imports. Can you tell me more about...

Yes, we are very fortunate here. Even the 2013 model at the Nissan dealer is a TD42 NA.

Only one downside - no OBDII :-(

Aftermarket Safari turbo. They only import the base spec without turbo.

Thanks MudRunnerTD.

PNG has come a long way since 1995 ... and the changes are happening very quickly at the moment.

I agree about tyre pressure. Most of the time it is not an issue. It is...

On my previous vehicle (a 1996 Pajero) I had the mud tyres. I would like to avoid them for the following reasons:
- While I probably drive on red mud roads/tracks every 2-3 weeks, I am only in...

I live in PNG, and encounter two types of off-road challenges:

Red dirt - that becomes slimy red mud when it rains
Beach driving


For beach driving, I carry a pump so that I can let the...
