Aussie Frontier · #11 (**permalink**) 06-18-2007, 06:08 AM

All Navara's have adjustable headlights although I must admit that once I set them to where I want them I havent touched them lol.We also get a few other features the Frontiers dont such as a the stronger rear diff on all our trucks where its only on some of the Frontiers. We get the finned diff cover they dont.We get chromed mirrors they dont on most models . They get the roof bars we dont and the price stops us trying to import them lol. I think it was something like 1400 Pounds from Europe foe the parts. I was quoted 400Pounds for a second hand set plus shipping so way beyond a reasonable price. The Frontier gets differant interiors and sunroofs we dont.
We get auto up and down on our drivers window they get only down.
We get the same covers for our window switches as the pathfinder whereas the Fronty has differant ones and some change to the pathy's where we dont have to worry.They have a decent range of colours and ours sux.
I have fitted parts from the Frontier that I imported and they are a perfect fit so the body of both trucks are almost identical apart from the rear cab brake light.I fitted the protective Door moulds and the Bed Cap rail protectors and a 150% perfect fit. I also imported a bed extender and again a perfect fit.
Greg at PRG and Calmini do make suspension lift kits however in most states in Aus your allowed to lift the truck 2" in total (suspension lift + tire lift)without an engineers report.From what I have been able to find out it looks like using rear lift shackles isnt legal anywhere but lift blocks are.
There are maybe 4 differant types of rims available on the aussie market if you want differant mags at 16". Going to larger wheels seems a lot easier.
American racing offers the "Trench" wheel in 16 x 8 . Ultra Wheels offers the Magnum and T6 in same sixe. Pro Comp offers the x089 range again in 16 x 8.But beware the price of shipping is approx $600 Aus from just about all US Dealers.Our wheels run a strange stud pattern if your curious they run 6 x 4.5 " or in metric thats 6 x 114.3mm and we also need a failry healthy backspacing to clear our brakes.
If you look on Ebay you will find parts available for our trucks ( Look for Frontier parts from the states and Navaras from Europe.)Chrome trims and grills etc.

Ok I think I covered most things lol
I dont think I have ever used so many words in a single day let alone a single message lol
Hope it helps

Welcome to the forum.

Cant get a lift more than 1" BS!....you just need to ask someone else. ARB are full of $hit......that's just from my personal experience.
