Let's say in NLEX, end to end. I noticed that in terms of HP, the Dmax tops in that category but with the 294 nm of torque compared to 314(Strada), 330(Ford) and the 356(Navara), it clearly says it's the weakest in that segment. Their HPs are not that far so I think if I see one of those vehicles on the road and try to feel a little adrenalin rush, I might eat their dust.hehe Though I know pickups are not meant for racing, sometimes I wanna give the engine a little exercise.hehe

I have both a 4x2 Dmax A/T and a 4x2 Navara A/T. I think the Dmax can beat the Navara in acceleration up to a certain point, but when the revs are maxed out the Navara will eventually overtake the Dmax. The Dmax feels more responsive at low rpm.

An entirely different story in the 4x4 segment though. Malakas talaga ang power ng 4x4 Navara, feels like a freight train is pulling it.

*Memphis Raines: Nice pics! The last photo, is that your truck?hehe

*Wh1stl3r: Yup, the 4x4 Navara is a very powerful truck. I can't just imagine how it feels driving a truck with a 174 hp and 403 Nm of torque considering that I find the 4x2 Dmax powerful already. Have you tried driving both trucks to their maximum speeds? I saw in the Navara forum that one owner there drove his truck up to 190 kph. That is really something. I haven't tried the maximum speed of my truck but someone told me in this forum that it's like up to 165 and from that point, it will start to crawl its way to 170.

I had my emission test done kanina...2004 model Dmax (so it's 4 years old).... may reading yung machine na NO SMOKE DETECTED kahit nirerev ang pick-up.... akala nung machine hindi nakakabit ang smoke sensor hehehe....

it's not even casa maintained na.... nearly 120,000km (last change oil was 105,000km)... too busy lagi kong nalilimutan hehehe

siguro nakakatulong din yung paghihigh speed ko lagi (at nearly 4000 rpm) sa nlex kaya hindi nagkaroon ng carbon deposit sa pipe.

Salamat bai

rna800 - not mine bro

I found that in a New Zealand/Australia site. That is actually an LX variant as we will notice that the side mirror, door handles, side moldings are black, not chrome. The black truck is outfitted with an ARB bumper. Machong-macho

wildthing - regular high-speed runs will really help you blurt out diesel exhaust deposits which pays big dividends like your emission tests. I'm sure yung kay Srbogoy sobrang linis nyan

Romel/Srbogoy - mag EB na kayo mga bai! Open pa rin ang invitation ni Jarhead sa atin sa Bohol

sir,Wh1stl3r turbo charged na ba ang navara?? malaks talaga ang navara interms of HP, but i dont know lang y nissan just put up a 2.5 engine on both, the engines are identically the same but the hp are different... but a very big gain in hp for a 2.5 engine... sana yun 3.2 nalng nilagay sa 4x4 and just put out a 140+ hp... nakapag refer narin ako ng mechanic sa casa and they too where confused and wondering if the 4x4 engine would last long wiht that torque and hp, baka daw sometime soon bibigay mga parts... hehehehe.....

as for the d-max kahit yun non-crdi pa sa akin, ok na na ok lang... pwede mo lagayn ng chip llike srbogoy and garners another 10-20hp and considering its engine build and specs... kakayanin ang 20hp gain...
