Well I like the Xtrail better than the forrester but i could live with the Liberty.

If i were u id go the xtrail, it has a similar 4WD system as the GTR except it is a lower version of it. It is bigger than the forrester.

The forrester is more powerful that the Xtrail obviosly because its turbo charged. It makes around 155KW and somewhere around 300NM of torque.

The Xtrail's 16 valve 4 cylinder 2.5ltr DOHC makes more torque "245 NM" than an NA rb25 and makes 132 KWs which really isnt much less than the forrester. What would this thing be like turbo charged????. The xtrail TI comes with all the luxury & Safety features. Crash test result = 4 out of 5. The ABS system can apply and release the brakes up to 20 times per second.

Leather is optional but " KIDS + Leather = Pain in the ass to keep clean." The Xtrail TI man goes for $35,990 and the auto is $37,990.I dont know how that compares to the forrester.

Well my post was leaning to the xtrail alot but im a NISSAN fan so..

I found some links that might help :

This one is a review of the Forrester, Xtrail , Honda CR-V and the Toyota Rav4 Cruiser. The Xtrail did very well. Its the article called " SWISH ALPS - DRIVE'S SOFT-ROADER COMPARISON"

xtrail,forrester,rav4,cr-v

I love the XTRAIL

Skyline_Boy

B-Man, i would LOVE a gloria!!!

well call me :D

seriously I know the cefiro's are old but the insurance is very cheap 60% of the r 32's premium.

you really do need a 4 door car with a family thats why I'm selling my sr 32. my brother in law got an x trail very nice but could you live with the lack of power .

my wife drives the r32 fine and the cefiro.

Once they get used to it they wont go to a stock car again :D

also consider the prado and pajero

or a merc yes I'm serious e or c class

cheers

yea the power is low in the x trail.

You could get yourself a nice r31 skyline GTS2

But what did u want in the car and what is your price range?? Power, Space, Economy??

The falcons are good cars, their engines can go millions of Kms " i think thats why theyre used as taxis.

ok - just to clear it up - IM NOT BUYING A FALCON!!!!

EVER! :P

Skyline_Boy - price range? hmm... up to 50ish i guess, i hadn't really thought about it.

I really liked the XTrail, i'd be getting leather tho, even with kids. :P But the damn Liberty GT is SO sexy!! my goodness!

Altho, I might be bringing Bec around on the idea of a Stagea 260RS! Which would be a perfect compromise for us!

oh and shell, Bec hates fords! :)

A4 Turbo quattro wagon would be the go if you can't persuade Bec to go for the Stagea.

Problem is, finding a Turbo quattro wagon - I'm sure they are around, but if they are then the owners sure as hell aren't willing to sell them... I'd buy one too if I could find one!

Must admit, I'd equally go a new Liberty GT wagon, but they won't be coming over in a manual for quite a few months yet, so you may have to wait unless you'd be happy with an auto (and also depending on when you're planning to get married and/or get rid of the GT-R).

Congrats, too, BTW.

    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
