After market air intake systems for the Y62 are becoming available. There is one from AVO turbo - the same mob who supplied my current exhaust system. I’ll be looking at them as well as a snorkel...

Thanks MB, I understand what you are saying but on my side I have a official letter from Nissan saying that dust got past the filter and entered the engine. I don’t think I have to prove anything...

The owners manual says nothing about severe driving conditions, but the service manual lists 10 conditions including driving in dust. It also includes extensive idling and driving with frequent use...

Thanks, I am.
About 10 years ago Nissan Australia paid me to fit a data logger/tracker to my Y61 towing a camper trailer across the Tanami, along the Gibb River Road, up to Cape Leveque, then back...

Nissan can’t find any damage, and can’t explain what went wrong - that’s after inspecting the car for a week. No snorkel (none available in 2014 when I bought it) but there has never been a build up...

I had knocks in my 2013 series 1 which was diagnosed as the transmission. Nissan said I needed a new transmission. First happened when under warranty and again in 2019. Both times I got Nissan to do...

I have a Y62 Series 1 which has done a fair amount of off-road driving - not mountain climbing, more touring on the Tanami, Gibb River Road, etc. Bought from Nissan new in 2014, done 170,000kms and...
