You might have some trouble with the ABS though in future drives!

When I started with Carnity I never thought I would need a ABS Kill switch for my Y62, but when started going on fast pace drives i changed my mind.

Few weeks back I almost ran into the car in front of me, we were criss-crossing at higher speeds than usual and the car in front had to stop, I pushed the brakes and the ABS kicked in and literally had no braking power, the system detected a wheel slipping and just stopped cut power on the slipping wheel/wheels.

2 month back, my CC was charged for about 400 aed on Uber Eats Canada, I called the bank and cancelled the card. I opened a dispute with bank and they said that they will investigate and check if the amount can be returned, but it might take up to 180 days. I spoke to Uber directly and they returned me back the money.

Another incident happened last week, in which I got a new CC from another bank, never used it before on any transaction whether POS or online, just 1 day after activating it, I got a message from Paypal with an amount being deducted. No idea how the Card number was leaked, but thanks god it was with Paypal and they usually do pre-authorization before they the payment is done. I'm convinced that this breach happened at the bank's side..

This week two of my friends also encountered similar issue, again no OTP was sent, the first amount was 3.5K deducted from an airline and the other friend got a charge or 11K from Facebook!! After doing some personal investigation from their side, they figured out that both of them purchased some Protein supplements from an online store few days before their CC got hacked. They posted the case on FB and guess what, they got 10s of replies from people mentioning the same, that they purchased from the same website and few days later their CC got hacked.

So apparently, some sites don't use secure gateway payments and the CC info gets leaked, in which hackers tend to use these CCs on Visa/Mastercard pre-approved vendors.

I'm against lifts, Unless you go with some expensive mods that will include lower/upper arms, longer drive shafts on top of the shocks, springs, also keep in mind that you are increasing your center of gravity which is not much advisable for high speed driving..

I believe lifts are essential for rock crawling.

Look at the drive shaft of a stock vehicle compared to a vehicle with 2" lift kit. This is a Nissan Patrol..

How long would it last before it fails?

Hi @Lawrence_Chehimi have you installed the additional electric fans on your Y62? if yes, please share the details and where i can get this done, thank you

Tareck, I have the 2019, it came already with an electric fan and an extra oil cooler from the agency. I guess 2018 onwards got the extra fan and cooler.

Adding electric fans in front of your radiator will definitely help. Usually what they tend to do here is adding two high flow/speed fans in which you can operate them using a switch. they make a huge difference especially to your AC cooling. They might be a bit noisy when turned on but you don't have to worry about the engine overheating. I've read that SPAL fans are one of the best.

Did you try to remove it with a air gun or the nozzle of the compressor blowing sand and check. Looks quite unusual to see this and indeed the vibration was a bit strange .

Yes I took it to the petrol station and air blew all the engine bay.

Thank you Guys for thr thrilling drive, the first part was challenging for everybody, I got stuck on almost a flat area😂😂not sure if that was because the brake fluid sensor that I disingaged which switched off most of the systems in the car, TSC, ABS, VDC, BLSD, BCI 😂 basically it turned my dashboard into a Christmas tree, maybe the 4Wheel wasn't working in its full power. After the stuck I put it the connector back and continued the drive with no issues but the sand wasn't as soft, so I can never tell if that connector was the reason.

The weird vibration and noise apparently comming from sand sitting on the pulleys. Even today when I had a look, some pulleys where still full of sand.

@shu yang this looks the 400HP MODEL, these usually come with HBMC suspension. Did you remove yours?

@shu yang most y62s in Australia gets a 2" lift kit, never heard of an extended rear arm being used. I know they replace the front lower and upper arms but nothing in the rear other than springs and shocks.

Just add your self to the whatsapp group from your other number.

looks like this group is different than the other one I'm on. How many whatsapp groups are there?

@RooRzOn@Lawrence_ChehimiMates, did you do alignment everytime after weekend drive?my mechanic buddys told me y62 need alignment after every heavy offroad drive. Also what heights you guys are running?

No I only did the alignment once and that after I changed my wheels and tires.

We are running stock suspension.

What symptoms you have? Why did you do an alignment?

They only have One model low profile and 2T in the shop.

Thanks @Lawrence_Chehimido you recall the exact shop? to go straight to it, buy and get out, Dragon Mart overwhelms me.. it is so huge and with so many similar stores...

@luis mantecon go the the EB section, and look for the Gulf JZX store. Below is a link to their website.

Let them try that with me and will see the scene that I will make. They can void warranty when changing your tire size from 33" to 35" or 33" to 31". But when keeping your tires at 33" they have no right, this can be escalated to Nissan Middle East and with DED.

Great @Hisham Masaad congratulations for the promotion 👍👍

It’s nice to have night drives during this weather, honestly the early morning drives are very exhausting for some, for example, I have to wake up at 3:30am to catch the drive this leaves me with only 2hours of sleep.

will be good if you inform the RTA. My Altima triggers the speed cam when over 140 even by 1 km/hr

My altima was around 9 digits off.

Very few cars have an accurate speedometer, basically a 10% difference is considered acceptable by car manufacturers and won't really bother to calibrate it.

Open waze app and compare the car's reading to that of the app. I've been driving for 8 years in Dubai following the speed shown on Waze app which is very accurate. i drive at 139 km/h on waze and I'm always way faster than every car driving on the left lane, the speedometer in my nissan will show around 148. My second car dor example reads 146 when waze app shows 139.

If you drive a hyundai then you will find that the speedometer is pretty much accurate. Usually waze will show 139 and the car shows 140.

The google maps speed didn't work for me, I tried it few times and was showing wrong readings. Not sure if they updated it recently but I won't trust it again.

He almost had a roll over.

I purchased the Mia70 pro a year ago on both my cars and I'm happy with it. I got the GPS MODULE as well but after a while it stops working as the holder will expand on heat and the gps pins won't touch firmly anymore.

They came up with a newer version called 70mia pro plus in which it has built in GPS.

The image video quality is very decent, it also has a small battery in which it can activates automatically if somebody hits your car while parked.

The first one is the most recent and advanced one recording at 4k res ( didn't try it yet).

The second one is the updated version of the pro thatbI have. ( Comes with built in GPS)

Congratulation guys,@Ahab Shamaa @Francois Germishuys @Ilya @Christian Andras @Craig Finlayson @Jorge Stepniak Felippe @Kalahari @Shaaz Sha@Tero Vallas

Congrats @Islam Soliman well deserved.

@RooRzOn, I'm still driving on 35 psi, actually the pressure is related to the weight of the car and the tire profile, I read somewhere that if the tire profile is low, you need more pressure to hold the same weight. So I'm sticking to the 35 psi (cold) as now I have higher profile tires.

After the drive, I inflate to 38 as the tires are hot. The car beeps one timre when it reaches 35 psi and then it beeps 2-3 times again when reaches 38.

I'm looking for a drive that we don't cover many Kms, we can just go to a tough technical place even if it is 2 Km from the road.

We spend two hours and return back. we can on purpose churn up the sand, and start trying our vehicles limits, finding the slowest speed to cross, trying it on different tire pressures, we can even go as low as 6 psi just to get out, in case we encountered such thing one day in desert.. maybe try to deflate from 14 to 12 then to 10 and see how much difference does it do on a certain situation.

Check how the difflock can actually help and when it doesn't on your own car, and check how effective it is, some difflocks won't make any difference as they don't really lock.

If we find a soft patch of sand it would be even better, where everybody gets the chance to stop and try to get out of it.

I don't know there are many things that we can do and learn.

Not sure if you guys are getting what I'm looking for?

I've reached intermediate level and only got the chance to use the shovel twice, i won't be holding off a newbie convoy just to get stuck on purpose or just to try some of the options in my car.
