So... Anyone got an xtrail or dualis?

Yeah, I've got an X-Trail, though it's a 2003 STR model if that makes a difference. What do you need?

I thought Bbenny had the best fitment, and spoolin. PN-mad looks like he has similar fitment now, so just go with that. :thumbsup:

Looks tough imho!

I believe Spoolin is 9.5 x 19" +22 offset now. Reckoned they needed a roll on the rears; nothing on the front.

Photos look EPIC!:worship:

Makes for one seriously angry Stag! :thumbsup:

Awesome! Are the rear license plate lights the same as the Stag? Or at least the same size?

The lights themselves, or the holders that the lights go in? The lights are just little spade LEDs, I replaced mine on sunday!

I think he was meaning the whole fitting. Possibly something to do with a reverse cam.

Sorry to say, in my case no. The Stag housing has 100mm screw spacing with a flat plastic cover. My X-Trail has screw spacings of 55mm with an old fashioned bulbous looking cover hidden under the tailgate handle.

Mine is an early model though. I think the more current ones could be the same. Can you drop by a Nissan place to have a look?

Spot on, looking at a wireless reverse cam that replaces one of the light holders: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130432830364&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

You might be right. I'll drop past Main North Nissan and check the new ones. That would make sense if it was for X-Trail and Dualis, maybe that's the newer model X-Trail.

I'll check it out and let you know.

Talk about going the extra mile, lol. I spotted a new X-Trail just now and measured the light surround. It is about 70mm long & about the same width as ours, maybe a little narrower. So although it isn't quite the same size, you may be able to make up something to hold it in there, since it is pretty well hidden on our cars anyway. I'm thinking thin aluminium sheet with cut out for new light/camera gizmo & holes to screw it into the Stag mount points for original light.

Cheers mate.:thumbsup:

Nah, not fussed TBH.:nyaanyaa: Maybe a set of PM skirts. Maybe.

One day...

Next is brakes.pinch.gif

also needs more low :P

lol nah kidding, looks good mate! im guessing with those wheels you CAN get big brakes under them?

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
