Oh yeah! Just checked the thread again, was around 230.

Unrelated, does anyone know if the Xtrail licence plate lights are the same size as ours?

Im looking at a wireless reverse camera, replaces one light with the camera and an LED light for the plate. Says it fits Xtrail and Quashquai (or however that stupid name is spelt).

Ok, well after what feels like forever, and is probably 6 or 7 months, I have finally got wheels on my car!cheers.gif

Details: Wheels - SSR Type F 19x8.5 +22 in Matte Black and very light! (JDMConcept)

Tyres- Continental Extreme Contact DW 225/40 19 (tirerack)

This is the same wheel specs as Bbenny's Enkei GTC01's. Thanks mate for putting up with my PMs about wheels all the time!

Very happy with the outcome - the fit is just right, I think it looks great. Pics taken really quick, with bad Camera. The car is Lowered with Eibach springs. Only criticism is that the rear looks a little high in the pics (car is on downward slope), but in reality I can just fit 2 fingers between the tyre and arch. The overall height is ok for me due to the driveway- lower I'd be scraping. Really, the photos don't do it justice. Nick- You'll have to take some good ones for me!

On with the PHOTOS!thumbsup.gif

Put the Angle grinder away Craig!rolleyes.gif

The car was parked downhill, so it didn't do it any favours. I think I need that clearance though, the Mrs has to go over epic speedhumps at work!

nice!

i have one too :)

Alex, the wheels look fantastic mate. good choice

Any idea what sort of power increase it gave you after installation?

Did the note or volume of exhaust change?

Edited by Ross

i can tell you that mine made zero change to anything. possibly due to the fact its still in my garage lol

i would imagine as its a de-cat pipe (and youll be installing the cat after this pipe *wink*) that the note would be more raspy and possibly higher pitched. but it will depend on your existing exhaust and if you have an aftermarket dump pipe

Finally got my new headlights in; when I got them there was an amber LED array that lit up with the driving lights/squid rings; was pretty sure this breached ADRs so Brad lent me a hand rewiring them up to the blinker; had to wire in the old blinker globe to up the resistance on the circuit to slow down the blinks too. A little hodge-podge, but the end result looks good imho. Hopefully the seals hold up :rofl:

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
