Rezz - i have driven the Aus spec X-trail and it definately didnt have a snail on the engine. Is the Xtrail GT and turbo'd version and does Oz have it? Or will we get it?

Honestly dAVE, I don`t have a clue about the Aussie market and whether or not it goes on sale in Oz is anyones guess?

All I know is that there is a X-Trail 2.0GT here in Japan with a SR20VET (check it out here - it`s the one furtherest on the left) that goes head-to-head with the Mitubishi Airtrek Turbo R (top one in Black)

X-Trail has some issues with body roll but it sticks pretty well. There's a vague feeling in the steering when dead ahead but once it's lent over in a corner it handles well for what it is. The QR25 is a bit harsh but 132 kw from 2.5L is pretty good.

I can't see them ever selling the turbo here as it would have it's own small niche and probably not be justifiable in the small Aussie market. Nissan Oz probably would market it with "GT" badges on the side anyway. :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
