Hi all, I'm from Bulgaria and I own 2006 Pathfinder 2,5Dci with 6 manual speeds. :)
Here are some pictures of the SUV.

Also loving the look of the LED strip under the front bumper. Have you got details of that mod/install?

Agreed more pictures are needed! I am also jealous of the 6 speed manuel transmission

10x to all for the good words.
I will make more pictures.
The diesel engine is nothing special. There is decorative cover over it
so you can't see a lot of it.
The 6 speed manual transmission is not a reason to be jealous because the tranny is awful.
I made a mistake with it. 5 years ago when I was going to buy the car I insisted to have manual transmission it it, because I had problems with the automatic transmission of my previous car and I didn't want to happen again.
Now I know that automatic transmissions are not so problematic.It is just that I used to give it for rebuild to the wrong mechanic.....

The 6 speed manual transmission of the Pathfinder is very very exhausting for city driving. 1st and 2nd speeds are too short and you have the shift fast or to gain high RPMs on them if you want to drive as fast as the other cars in the traffic. Also the clutch is dying on all manual Pathfinders and Navaras around 120000km. Mine is 105000km and I am already feeling it stalling.
The only advantage of the manual transmission is that the car burns around 2 liters less than with the automatic transmission.

About the LED lights, I just bought them for 70$. They are with measurements 220х26х48mm with 5x1W . I will post a picture of the mounting method later. I made a hole for each of them on the 2 little plastic skirts in front the tires...

This is when I mounted H4 bi-xenon lights.
