The actual moving speed should be higher than what I have shown here. I was taking loops in the desert while @Ranjan Das  was self recovering his Jeep, at a low speed so mine is actually on the lower side. 

Revalidating "Looper" since some ppl said that you dont loop much now🤣

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscar for this yalla drive in a Sunday afternoon, I indeed needed the concentration that I wouldnt have in the morning. And I haven't had this thrilling pace for a long long while. Great IM start, and I found many places of improvement.

Thank you @Looper and @Russ for supporting the drive, flawless as always, and @Arman for a clean 2nd lead, that surely helped me alot driving behind, hope you and Aisha reached home safely.

Really impressive to see @Humayun Ghias driving the probably the "stockiest" family friendly y62 in IM drives, even with stock skid plate! 

@Zed thank you for staying with me solving the limp mode, I figured out later on from Thomas' post, but really appreaciate that you stayed with me for extra half hour!, Nissan OBD is really annoying, have to find out which reader reads Nissan now.

My past fastest drive was 22kmh average moving speed, 27kmh is a new record ! wow.

Haha the "stockiest" y62 around! Probably not the right thing to do! But it has gotten me quite far. I've had no issues so far, I just try to be careful coming down from dunes and watch my speed while doing so. 

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscarfor an amazing drive. Probably one of the fastest ones I've had so far.

Thank you to @Russ @Arman @Looper and the rest of the convoy as well. Looking forward to driving with you all soon!

no worries man, too bad my ELM327 scanner is v1.5 and only works with Toyotas... this post here shows a photo of which scanner works with Nissan cars, I'd guess anything more than 100 dirhams would work, since the price of a Real ELM chip is US$21, so a proper OBD scanner should be priced above that...  this post here shows pics of which scanners to avoid as they are cheap clones (clones meaning not using the real ELM327 chip)

I have 2 of those ELM327 scanners lying around. Some times they work on a car, sometimes no avail. I also have a Konnwei 850 OBD scanner from Dragon Mart that works a lot better and reads my 2020 Civic, 1999 Trooper, and 2008 Pajero (not the 99 Pajero as that's a different story with that weird  MUT2 protocol".
