Hello everyone :hi:,
Names Vern. I'm from the central ohio area. I'm a master nissan tech as well as my dealers GTR tech.:p. I just bought a White 2010 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4x4 SE 4.0L w/the SE package (power, hitch, etc...). The truck is used for hauling my 09 yamaha wr250f and the kid.

Goals for truck:
More power... (300-350whp)
Wheels and tires
Lift (nothing crazy 4 inches or so)

Thanks for looking!!!

Welcome to the club! Always good to find out a tech bought a truck hehe. Good news!
Hi Vern welcome aboard Clubfrontier.org.
Always good to have another Tech to bounce questions off for sure.
Welcome Vern:

I am new here also. But I love the fact that we have Nissan Techs on the board.
Looking forward to your input.
welcome to the party, i'm the forum GTR nutswinger :laugh:
Welcome to CF.
I have an oil leak out the left front side of the engine that nobody has been able to fix for the last 58000 miles. Now I am told just because it has been worked on 4 times, doesn't mean Nissan will cover it again. Ever seen one do that? I have heard of no others.

The lower 1/2 of the left side of the motor, motor mount, and front diff is covered in oil. You can smell it often and sometimes even from inside while stopped at a light.

Sorry for the long welcome to CF post.
Welcome To the Club. Feel free you give your opinion on any thread.
welcome and Mdawg, have you cleaned everything off to see where its coming from. Mine is leaking from the left VVT cover. (the covers I painted red on the front when I assembled the engine)The f**KN Ahole that built the engine is gonna fix it tommorrow:laugh:(Im picking up a new belt too since my blower psi is back to 7 from 10psi,and its slipping on higher boost)

I have not seen many concerns related to engine oil leaks from the frt. of the engine that were not customer/tech. made.... (if that makes sense).
What engine do you have?
Has there been oil dye added to engine oil

Send me a pm and I would be more than happy to help you!!!!


Thanks for the warm welcome. I will be starting a build journal so stay tune...
Welcome! Nice to have a tech on these pages.

I have one question. On my 2010 SE I want to install the Gentex dimming mirror. Is there a plug in the headliner? Is the harness the same as the LE's?

I have to say, it is always nice to see another tech on the site. I think we now have a handfull of Nissan ones and then some others (Lexus, Jag, etc...)

I have to ask thou, how do you expect to get 300-350whp from your truck? Supercharger or turbo or just a complete motor swap?
Welcome and enjoy.

I will find out monday!

I'm not sure on how I will go about 300-350whp...
what do these 4.0L put out stock? 225whp?
more like 215 iirc. you would need every bolt on you can get, cams and a good tune. you may need pistons to get that much out of it
On the oil leak problem. My 97 HB had a oil leak when it was new. They put the dye in the oil and I went back in a week or so and they found the oil send unit was the problem.
I will need your guys help making 300-350whp. I'm going to put 1500 miles on the truck and change the oil. then I will go to the dyno and see what she puts down stock. I dont want to use boost if I dont have to but its not out of the question.
welcome to the club. im excited to see your build thread. whats the name of your build thread goin to be?

Vern, Welcomee to the club!! As everyone said nice to have a tech. Where about in Ohio are you? I might use your dealership, as I am in northern KY. Enjoy your new truck, look forward to the build:)
