Thanx for any help!

I like the paint matched bumpers OK, but would really prefer the chrome bumpers. If any of you have ordered or inquired about these add-ons, how much did you pay? I think the truck looks good, but the front end especially would be vastly improved by the chrome look.
Thanks in advance!
and I think my chrome front and rear look awesome , and I think it wouldnt look well if it was painted like my O3 CC 4x4 was , even tho i rember it being a pretty pricy option, over the standard black on the outside. but Ill give em this ;;;
I dint used to like the plastic on the outside, till a while back when me and my wife were out boonie hoppin in her 03 Xterra, and she backed into a tree, nailed it right square on the back pillar , small metal damage about 10 inches long,
dint set off the airbags, im surprised .!!!! dint even effect the glass or the seals or back hatch fit....
but the piece of plastic on the bumper, was like almost turned inside out and looked like a verticle football shape , that night it took a couple pieces of firewood and a maul.( dint want her goin to work the next morn , looked baaaaaaaad !!!)
,popped it back out, and put it back on , first dent, on her wheels, and shees proud of it, doesnt lookk half bad ! andshe doesnt want it fixed, go figure ? ! . makes me think twice, or ten times about the back up sensors u guys talkin about ,
and ive read complaints about the all black plastic interior , and i dont mind a bit.
besides most brands now are all plastic inside unless its chrome or painted plastic , no big deal just costs more , like leather, diff bolts for diff folks

Thanks
Just wanted to know witch truck you bought .
also dose anyone have a true MPG on their new Crew cabs and King cabs,looking at buying a auto tranny.
Thanks.
Another problem is that dealers do not keep their own inventories on their web pages up to date. Some, even in close in Northern VA, will not provide their inventories on their web pages. Once you get away from the cities and burbs, the dealers don't attempt to have any inventories shown. Some still don't have web pages!!!! So, the only way for certain to locate what you want is by having a dealer make an inquiry against the official inventory. Too bad Nissan and others don't push their dealers a little harder on better web pages with more accurate inventories. - 81 Trekker
Actually, I have been checking the NissanUSA.com pretty much every other day. You can build a vehical and then search your local dealer inventories for the exact match. The data I assume is kept up to date by Nissan since it is the official company website. This avoids having to look at individual dealer web sites.
I used to have a 01 CC SE. It had a lot of problems and was in the shop every other month. It was one of the first ones of the assembly line after the redesign. I have been waiting for the new improved one and was not going to buy one from the initial batch. I am curious how good/bad the gas milage is on the new one. My old one was bad. The highest I ever got was 18 on the highway. I hope this one is better. Anyway good luck with your search ... I'll keep looking too.
motorcycles (street bikes, about 900 lbs total), lots of gear, and towed a pop-up
camper. It was all interstate, but we did take I-70 through West Virginia which is full of hills (lots of 3rd and 4th gear downshifts). AC was on most of the time. 65-75 mph average. The truck towed the load great. Plenty of power and braking when needed. The actual MPG was 17.7. I was very happy with this.
I also have a tonneau cover,it did not help,either.
I get that with nothing in my Chevy4.3 LT.
I can't wait too buy Nissan again. had a 89hardbody and a93hardbody, sold it at 260.000Mi on it, dude you will never buy another truck then Nissan again,thoe I was dumb and bought a Chevy.You can't kill these's trucks!!!!!!!!!
Hey goodluck with yours,hey give a MI. up date again,thanks .
I am kind of surprised at the wide spectrum of mileage reported...
JC
end, or the hill holder or decent options, just the anti slip option, which came with the power package, or I should say U cant have unless equipped with the power package, whick was one of the amennities(THE POWER PACKAGE, HAVENT SLIPPED A TIRE YET !!!! .and I like that ) I wanted with my truck, and they were few - paint trans and eng, and I had to have the Crew cab, with a short bed, soooooooooo.. its Storm Gray, 5 spd auto, and the 265 hp v6,
auto trannys get a little better than sticks, and id think the other forementioned options would pull some power, but in the Nismo , It,d be hard to tell, as the 4.0 v6 is verrry verrrrrrry strong, im on my second tank and getting 19 too 20 mpg still ,,, im likin that , as my 03 dint get much better than 22-23 mpg in the same configuration ................ I vote :its a nismo thing , not to mention some onboard drains like gps , or xm and other electrical drains . an amp,
on a serious sound system takes power to run... riggggght !!!!
but then what is Rockford Fosgate but a serious sound system.
Yep. I think its a nismo thing >*<
and round town and out in the boonies kinda drivin ,
Im impressed, as I said in another post (thought i was replying too your Q
#1169 ) I think its a nismo thing ....
My next truck will be whoever makes one that gets mid-20's or better with 300 hp using hybrid/VCM technology. Toyota and Honda are the hybrid leaders now, but Nissan might surprise us.
I'm a biologist and I make long trips on the highways, and then put the truck through the test in very extreme off road situtations. My NISMO has the trip computer, but I also always do my own fuel calculations. They tend to be pretty much in agreement, just make sure that you reset the MPG computer after each fill up. Off road 4x4 mileage is about 10 to 12 mpg. That's normal for any 4x4 when fully engaged. Someone mentioned driving habits in an earlier post. I couldn't say more about that myself. 75 mph will yield you 18mpg, with AC on. Around town is variable-16 to 18. If you cruise the highway at 65 mph you will get anywhere from 19 to 23 MPG. A lot of rapid acceleration and passing will destroy your mileage. If you drive smoothly on the highway and just cruise, you will get 20 to 23. Thsi is the nature of managing vehicles with greater mass. The heavier an object becomes, the greater the energy it takes to get it up to cruise speed. Pilots all know this sort of stuff, and now that many of us are driving heavier vehicles, we should start thinking about driving in terms of "managing energy."
There seems to be a thin energy band on the 05 NISMO that lies somewhere 2100 RPM and 2300 RPM (can't remember those exact numbers, but you get the concept). Go above a certain RPM and gas mileage plummets.
Also, somebody else mentioned something about all the electrical equipment lowering gas mileage. That is false. AC lowers gas mileage because it engages another pulley attached to the engine, but the 300 watt rockford fosgate does not use gas, neither does the trip computer, etc. Hope this helps.
And whats the deal with the limited desert color interior. Its great but limited to only a few colors.
Also the wheels. who on earth sets the standard at nismo. 4 spokes absolutely stink with no option on the LE. Nismo needs to go to school Wheels make a vehicle. The aftermarket wheel business ihas gone full scale. wake up NISMO.
Anyone pay less than invoice?
I have a GPS in my truck and my speedometer and odometer are exactly 3.5% low, which means I'm actually getting about .6 mpg higher than shown by the vehicle's odometer and trip computer. If your truck has the same speedo/odo error, you are getting higher mileage than you think, too. My NISMO 4x4 CC Auto has the stock Goodrich Rugged Trail tires. I measure my mileage manually, and it is generally within 0.2 of what the trip computer shows. The 18.5-19.0 mpg figures I'm reporting include the correction for my odometer error.
Most of my vehicles get 10% less than the EPA highway figure when I travel at 82 mph, so the NISMO getting just 5% less than the EPA highway figure of 20 seems quite good.
I've been trying to figure out if I have the reciever for the Fob to communicate with for keyless entry,
The other posts here describe locking all the doors and inserting the key at least 6 times within 10 secs..etc and the hazard lights will flash. being the penny pincher I am I tried this without a FOB just the factory key to see if the lights flashed before I went out and bought a Fob and wasted my cash. My question is do I need a FOB first to make the lights flash? As in on the keychain?
Thanks
Thanks

I am having a power sliding rear window put in today. Will update with how I like it.
Only bad thing is that is sticks out on the back a little, and I have to adjust my folding cover to get into the first folding portion next to the cab.
