I think this will be a good topic to help everyone share info on what parts from other Nissan's fit the NV as we know it's a Brother-Cousin, lol or Sister-Uncle to the Titan.

 

I am looking to know what part's we can swap from other nissan's to make our NV's Loaded!

 

A few thing's I have on my mind so far are

 

Titan Headlights?

 

8 lug wheels?

 

Stereo Stereo Stereo!?   I would like something more up to date than my 12' outdated NAV unit that is still OEM

 

Front Bumper fit from a titan?  

 

Anything electrical at all swap over? 

  

Do seat's bolt right up? 

 

Over and out!

All I know is that Chevy and Dodge 8 bolt rims fit the NV and your nav the best bet to stay up to date on the maps is to buy something like a garman etc.

The bolt pattern for NV 3500 is 8x165. (which chevy van does have the same pattern). Nissan wheels are 17 inches and their wheels are 16. We do have substantially larger brake rotor. We have 14.2" rotor in the front and 14.4 in the rear. Theirs is 12.8 in the front and 13 in the rear. Ford van rotors are 12.1 and 12.1 and ProMaster have whopping 11.8 front rotor and 11 in the rear. They could fit smaller wheels because they have tiny rotors. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in, but I don't think 16 inch wheels will fit Nissan rotor. I know that Tundras have 14 inch brake rotors and the smallest wheels they could mount is 17 inch (there are only a couple of 17 that fit last time I checked).

 

OP, I like the idea of this thread. We have so few options on aftermarket stuff for the van.

Since the NV does not come standard with a cabin air filter, I had to use the Nissan 350Z filter recommendation.  That's the first thing I learned about this NV.  Part recommendations don't exist!

[trdriver71]

I was actually referring to the truck 8 bolt patterns for the chevy and dodge and both of them use 17" or larger on their trucks. I have also seen that fram makes a cabin filter for these vans now too.

trdriver71 - Do the garman maps work in the NV nav system? 

[trdriver71]

I wouldn't think so garmin keeps everything internal but I found that they have free lifetime map updates and the Nissan one is costly to update so its just better and cheaper just to buy a external type gps. but that is just my feeling on the subject. ymmv.

OK....It is too bad that Nissan chooses to gouge on this one.

All car companies do.  When was the last time you saw cheap parts or labor from a dealership??  Nav updates have always been expensive in my experience.  I just use my phone as a backup.  We have so much construction going on around here that GPS companies cant keep up.  Google Maps barely keeps up and I see their camera cars all the time!

FRIENDS!!!!! Sorry, I  have been a bad poster I failed to click follow on this post, so I didn't even see your post's till now.

 

 

 What I have found since posting is it seems there are only a very limited number of other factory wheels that will swap over to our rig's, Usual issue tends to be the center bore is slightly too small or wayyyyyyyy too small.  If I got a set rims close to free, I would have them turned since it's a very very small amount that would need to be overcome. 

 

I know that last statement will be controversial with some folks about modifying wheel's, but I am a dare devil kidding... I just am comfortable with the risk/reward. 

 

I like the standard aluminum wheels that are on big rig's, and dually truck's I am looking into seeing if A set of 4 factory / OEM front wheels from a Ford, Dodge or Chevy Might work.  Would be cool to get something a bit more stylish and lighter the factory wheels I don't so much mind the looks of them when you add the factory chrome skin but the 17" tire size isn't OEM for really anyone else and made getting some low-dough second-hand snow tires last winter a challenge VS something in the 18", 20" I see tons of all day long. 

 

Is the 2012 GPS software Garmin or NAVTEQ?

 

Anyone know if the Titan's share aftermarket parts?

 Titan weather tech floor mats or IN CHANNEL Vent shades?  The OEM vent shades look great minus the button mounts on them, but I am a bit OCD about wanting things to look "Smoof."

 

 TITAN Headlights? Do they fit the NV?  I really like the aftermarket Headlight options I am seeing for them. 

 

lol we are like the outcast Titan/ Armada Family member's .. you know the one everyone even Grandma avoid's at family event's haha

I have a 2016 NV3500 SV.  It has a cabin filter slot behind the glove box.  Currently there is no filter in it.  I found from another post that a Nissan GT-R cabin filter fits!  How about that!

[radin2son]

At the 60k service, the service advisor added changing the cabin filter. He assumed all NVs had them. I didn’t pick up on this because cargo vans didn’t have them.

The micro filter part number is 99M1-VP005. The part was $37.67. Labor was $46.95.

Air cleaner filter (under the hood) Titan 5.6 or Frontier 4.0L filters fit as well as any aftermarket for same. Drop in filter K&N, aFe, etc., fit and same aftermarket CAI
