A front cut x-trail GT goes for around 15k. There was a partially damaged one for 8.5k I saw running around in Japan but needed new bottom end bearings.

Besides, the SR20VET that comes in the GTs doesn't really drop in to my X-trail at all, Its a huuuuuge job... They've got different transfer cases and gearboxes, plus they only came out in a CVT automatic and I don't want that at all.

On top of that, the QR25DE 5sp doesn't bolt up to the SR motor, so a custom bellhousing would be needed ($$$), and there's not a chance in hell of finding a clutch that fits the QR, and input shaft of the SR...

I know for a fact that the SR > non-GT x-trail conversion has never been tried, its almost physically impossible.

But yeh, it'd be amazing if it would work! :D

Thanks for the encouragement ;)

there was a guy around the northern beaches in syd that had a turbo xtrail, thing had a sr20 in it but im pretty sure it was a manual, might have been one of those jap ones, will be a sleeper big time, the 2.5 in them standard isnt exactly a slouch for what it is.

yeh i know theres a guy in sydney with a GT pulls IIRC 211wkw, on 13psi i think. Doubtful it was manual, but i could be wrong.

The QR does pretty good... exhaust and intake, and its up with most bigger cars (commos, falcons etc). Sentras in the US are quick cars, heaps of the done up ones care competing with WRXs and EVOs.

Exhaust tomorro, will post bulk pics.

haha hey man!

yeh she came up well!

got it rebuilt few weeks ago just for kicks.

its had a full once over, it looks pretty dardy now aye, bin on the car for a few days now, spools up good!

sweet as man,

yeah the t3 i had for it was fine, just ended up being oil return line kinked, i thought the oil seal went on it, but yeah rebuilding bottom end, but shit has come up in life, so planning on selling rolling shelling ready for paint, getting a r32 and chucking rb30 bottomend on it when its rebuilt, so was just passing through and spotted your thread.

take it easy best of luck,

peace.

  • 3 weeks later...

Just wanna give you guys a bit of a sneak peak of the progress.

I gave up trying to do the exhaust myself, so its getting sent off to carline mufflers next friday for the dump and front pipe, the rest is an easy job that i can actually do myself.

Cooler piping's done, oil return is done, vacuum lines and breathers, pretty much everything except the exhaust.

heres some pics:

And yes, before anyone asks, the bumper does fit on with that intercooler piping...

lol i rekon i'd last about 300m on the road before a yellow sticker if i had no exhaust haha

and after all, im not blessed with 6 cyls of heaven sounding RB note, ive got more of an SR sorta sound. So i gotta tone it down a little :)

Yeh its on the road, not tune yet so i just cant go into boost that far yet. starts making boost at about 2.5-3k and prob full boost by 3.5k maybe? not sure...

next vid is an in car one for sure lol

dunno man, prob early in the new year.

i lost my license and get it back on christmas eve. going on holidays after then so soon after i get back.

but the cars all finished minus the tune on the 27th @ hyperdrive.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
