It'd be a Series 4 or 5 mate....
Ill go yours is a series 4 mine is a 5/04 series 3
It's a Trayback not a Wagon so will be Series 2.
Cab Chassis Series 1 is 99 till 03
Cab Chassis Series 2 is 03 till 07 (or 06 depending)
Haha yeah tray back being the operative word.Quote:

Honestly keen to learn more on the 06/07 transition point as many off forum self proclaimed gurus have told me conflicting info !!
Sprock old mate :-) ! I believe ET was kindly dumbing it down for us globally with 'Tray Backs' as there does appear to be many terms and countries they are and have been sold to and lingo a plenty :-) I've always had my eye on a South African .... we can't get em here :-(

is it not how you differentiate between styles of utes, i.e. well body, tray etc etc etcQuote:

I would call a Well Body a Style Side. Generally i just call them Utes. But certainly use the terms CoilCab and Leafy Ute. Tray back works fine too though.Quote:

In the Wagon the GUIV shape (Current shape) was adopted in late 2004 but the Ute stayed the same until 2007 until the CRD was introduced i think? Not sure the ZD30Di went into the VI Ute did it?Quote:

My understanding is that my 4.2 2006 ute (cab chassis) is the last of the breed. That’s going by build date on the compliance plate which I think is August 2006. Quite possible of course that some were not sold or registered until 2007.
I’ve never been 100% certain whether it’s a Mk 2 or Mk 3, but think it’s a Mk 2.
Some even call them table tops,
but a well back has a factory tub not sure if Nissan had any in the Patrol range
South Africans call em BakkiesQuote:

Yep, at August '06 it would have been one of the last ones.Quote:

Only exception is if I am talking spare parts or accessories then I call it a Cab Chassis.
Then again, I am a New South Welshman/Territorian.
I am only in W.A. hiding out till 'they' give up looking for me.
That would turn a few heads I like it.Quote:
