Hey Jess,

Sorry i missed you Saturday night a villies!! =( i came by, but it was too late and everyone had left or was leaving

Car is good, just trying to finalise all the upgrades/service/mods im looking to do to it.

Crank collar looks like its going to be WAY too expensive, so its looking like N1 pump + improved pickup (the boostworx mod i was talking about) + sump baffel + Cam Cover Baffle Plate and i already have catch can(s)

then im also looking at suspension upgrade, boost controller, cam gears and 100,000km service. so just a little bit of work on the car =)

dont you just love tax time?? =D

Aww you came past!! Would of been nice to see you again! ;)

Really crank collar is to expensive :) Good stuff on the other mods..haha your going to run two catch cans? ;)

OoOoO What suspension you thinking? There are some really nice boost controllers in for sale section right now and not badly priced either I love the Blitz one

haha yes I do!!!

Crank Collar mean removing engine from the car so the crank can be taken out and machined, hence lotsa $$$ (well, lots more $). and i think there is at least 1 (possibly 2) catch cans in the car already

where are these boost controllers that you speak of? i'm looking at the profec b spec II

suspension is just minor upgrades, caster, rear camber and front and rear sway bars

after all that is done, i think i'll be happy enough withthe condition of the car to look at taking it out to a few track days

hmmm bummer!

Oh little one you must use the force of the "search button" in for sale section private parts "boost controllers" and they all come up -there is a profec b there for cheap but has a busted solonoid ;)

CRD was selling them $375 delivered in there trade section! :)Greddy Profec B

You will feel the difference! haha should see how much negative camber I run on the front..awesome for trackdays not so good for street use ;) but dont matter cause basically a track car only now

OMG YAY!! will be nice to see you on the track!

brrrr i'm so cold :)

i got a call from 1 of the midwives, to see how i'm doing haha

there making an appointment for me so i can go talk to them

Yeah, I wish it would warm up, even a little.

Good luck with your appointments and all. You'll now find out how everyone is an expert in birth and being a parent. Have fun filtering thru all the bs. ;) If in doubt, talk to the real moms, like Kell.

thanks ;)

haha it probably won't be fun talking about it but aleast i'll get it out

ahh you know we're not Amercia right?? Mom is Mum here in Australia ;)

oh, you mean second hand stuff.... no ways, prefer to buy new and isn't $375 a bit on the expensive side? =P

YES -ve camber FTMFW!!!!! I figured that i should really do the crazy driving on the track and keep it safe/off the roads, i just didn't want to do it till i knew a lot more about the condition of the car

this just in!

my car just randomly stalled... twice? stopped at the lights... revs dropped and stalled, started it and did the same thing?

i had aready been driving my car for about 15 minutes previous to this no worries.

only difference is i didnt warm it up before i drove it. i normally warm it up for about 2-3 minutes. could that be the problem?

this has happened b4, and i thought it was a fuel issue so i changed the fuel filter.

any ideas?

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
