BEFORE


AFTER

There are a lot of facts again under “Search” and many members have upgraded their QQ’s as this model was first introduced in 2014 here, especially with regard to LED Lighting Mods internal and external.
Regarding the “Tinting” there are different stricter regulations for us over the water regarding “Tinting” of Windows - that’s life Dave

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately I could not find what I was looking for Seems like no one installed 235/50 or 255/40 tires yet Or lowered their Qashqai, or put any aftermarket parts (except chrome pieces )

doesn't look like aftermarket support is that great

front tint is illegal here in California, but as long as cops can see you it is OK

Washed her after our 500 miles trip to Tahoma, CA Car was great, 2.0 engine is obviously not enough going up hill, but it was ok, I wish Nissan kept 1.6 turbo or 1.8 turbo from sentra instead of this stupid n/a engine




Also got a check engine light, car only has 600 miles and already need a visit to the dealership

Also I see you have couple parts, could you please post a link where did you get them? I'm looking for
Shark Fin Antenna
Bonnet Struts

I'm not sure if you guys get those from the factory or not

On bonnet struts there was a group buy some years ago, but believe they are available from E Bay etc.
Here's manufacturers www

Dave Berlin will update re the sharkfin, which he sourced I recall from a Canadian supplier.
It's fitted on latest iteration of the Qashqai here, but others who just bought a shark fin off the web
found they were no good for DAB radio; that may not be an issue in USA??

KYRGYZ, so just to carry on from where Gel left off.
The Bonnet Strut Set was supplied from a Russian Supplier as Gel has mentioned and they are available still on eBay. These are well worth the money and are dead easy to install and function well.

The Shark Fin Antenna was supplied from Village Garages Canada, I installed these on our Juke & QQ and are excellent quality, easy to install and a good paint match. Visually they improve the look of the QQ but they are not DAB compatible as Canada does not have this but I played with this in and around Berlin and for me it worked but I must say I am more of an FM user.

There are Suspension Kits around but you need to Search the Web, this company in Germany supply parts but they are on the expensive side as here they have to be TÜV Approved which is a stringent German Safety Test which when I have asked US Suppliers they just laugh .
So hope this short story is of help - Dave

SO my car back to NIssan with another check engine light... this time fuel pressure and missfire in two cylinders, so two codes... car just have 2100 miles... got another loaner with 1600 miles on it.. looks like North America is getting left overs from Japan and Europe

Hopefully you found the supplied information helpful ?. Unfortunately you did not get the “Left Overs” from Europe as the Rogue Sport is manufactured in Japan - Dave
