Hey guys, thinking of moving on from my car now, it's been almost 2 years now since buying the car, started life in NSW, has had two owners before me who had looked after the car religiously.

Nissan X-Trail 8/2002 build Ti-L model

2.5L QR25DE

5sp Manual

4wd

150k kms, motor is still strong, does not consume oil, water, no smoke, no blow-by, starts fine etc, no signs of abnormal wear.

still returning 11-12L/100km, can get below 10l/100 on highway trips, never had a tank over 12.5L/100kms...

always serviced with synthetic oils, specifically penrite SIN, always run on 98 octane fuel.

All fluids and filters have been replaced recently, car will have new g/box, transfer and rear diff oil soon.

Car has been turbocharged for just over 50,000kms now, not a single peep of complaint from gearbox, motor or diffs, had been very reliable

Only selling to make way for a new project.

Factory options:

Leather seats

Massive sunroof

cruise control

climate control

Mods:

Garrett GT2860rs 0.86 a/r turbo, 10psi

braided fuel, water and oil lines.

Godspeed manifold

custom 3" exhaust and 3.5" cat by Kermit

Tial MVS gate and screamer

FMIC, 2.5" piping

GFB BOV

WRX 440cc injectors

Walbro 255lph fuel pump

EMS stinger ECU road tuned by me, original tune by Andrew @ Hypredrive

LC-1 wideband controller wired in to the EMS

X-treme HD clutch

X-treme lightweight chromoly flywheel

18" X 8.5" koya drifteks

Achilles 235/50 tyres, 90% tread

Eyelids

Lowered 65mm on Kmac springs

oil pressure, boost and battery voltage gauges

Battery relocation including vented box, circuit breaker.

Car makes about 280hp at the front wheels and 250hp at all four on 10 psi boost. Car is getting a dyno run sometime soon.

Still has room to go, these motors are pretty much bulletproof below 300whp...

The mods are not currently legal, but all that's involved in getting it engineered is a noise test (car will only need another small muffler to pass this) and an emissions test, which it should pass confidently. Everything else is legal once signed off by an engineer. In 2 years of owning the car, I've never been pulled over, the car doesn't attract much attention at all. Car has never been crashed and has rarely been taken offroad.

Asking $18,000 obo or swaps for a V35 skyline coupe, preferably 350gt and manual. (show me what you've got and I may consider)

Located in Perth, WA (northern suburbs)

Just testing the waters atm, no rush to sell yet.

yeah had a few offers for swap. 2006 v8 jeep 60,000kms, but I can't stand american cars...

I really want a clean v35 (preferably manual sedan - 3.5 of course) to cruise in... Looks like I may need a trip interstate though, i see ~10 v35s in vic ans nsw, all in my price range on carsales... Sweet FA in WA.

Car is not far off being legal, only needs a noise and 5 gas test, everything else is legal including battery box, intake, intercooler (mesh in front), guages and wheels/tyres.

still for sale. $17,000 - looking to fix up a few little things here and there, passenger-side rear door has some damage, trip to wreckers is needed for new mouldings/plastics...

    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
