Hey guys! Well, I just bought a brand spanking new Frontier today!!! It´s a 4-door (crew cab I guess) 2.8l turbo diesel. Black, with the special "aTTack" package, which i´m pretty sure is not available in the U.S. I´m picking it up in a week, and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, because i´m sure i´ll be seeying alot of you all. Thanks!

UGGGHHHH....yeah....where did we store the stones for our diesel fronty companions..lol j/k...i would really like those hood scoops too, are they actually open on the navara or are they like the new toys over here and purely cosmetic? i too am irritated that we aren't offered the diesel package, maybe someday....it's a 2.8 over there eh? i thought in england the diesel was a 2.5....or did the up the displacement with the new model..i'm assuming you have an '07

oh yeah..welcome to the forum :)

Thanks for the welcome!! Yeah, they upped the displacement when they switched to the common rail injection.... 140 hp, MWM engine....... It´s the old body but it´s an 07.... The scoop is fully functional, with the scoop fitting right over the intercooler.... do you guys have an FAQ with how to post pics and etc? Because i could up some pics from the brazillian Nissan website...

Welcome to the Frontier group!

You can load your photos to your gallery and the photo will be given an Internet URL.

Then view the photo and high-light it and right click ‘copy’. Then move to the page you want the photo on and click paste. This is how I got the photo below to show here.

Some sites use other methods.

Have a good one,   and Carry on.. Don S..

Well, there she is, but mine is black! According to the brochure i have in my hand it puts out 340 ft/lbs @ 1700 rpms.... I´m not relly sure this is correct though...

the 340 was actually N/m which is metric and that converts to about 250 ft/lbs but getting that peak at 1700 RPM is a torque monster for a little truck like that...so the UK version at least with the 2.5 is still putting out more power, but you still have a diesel and that's a nice option...yeah i too want one of those hoods, ...the picture of the truck with that hood was in joehova's gallery of his truck side by side with a white fronty with that hood...
