yeh funny you said that, the NISMO sticker came off today! lol

sorta got sick of it lol

might spray the cooler black but i think i like the look of it, might leave it as it. The cooler piping is black, not that you can see it behind the bumper anyway!

never really envisioned it to be a sleeper, but just the way things have turned out, it actually is. Thinking ill paint the mud guards back to black too, they're a bit "look at me".

Anymore suggestions for exterior/appearance mods?

ok time to talk power....

i know its a bit ambiguous, cos not many of you know much about the QR motor, but how much do you rekon ill make?

from the Sentra owners in the US (same motor) they usually make 300whp from 10psi, only tuned with an SAFC.

info:

2.5L 4cyl QR25DE

6800 rev limit

stock cams, stock motor

325hp T3 turbo

7psi

3" exhaust

EMS stinger standalone engine management

98 octane

I'm gonna call 260whp.

Edited by turbo x-trail

when its tuned, yes...

but atm, i cant drive it in boost so itd be a pretty gay/boring video!

ill do a video of a big pull, itll be tuned this time next week so ill post one up...

i cant get one of the dyno tuning cos i wont be there with it :blink:

but ill prob get another dyno run, just so ive got a video of it :D

Anymore suggestions for exterior/appearance mods?

Agree paint the guards black :) maybe super dark window tint on everything except the drivers and passenger side windows... I would have gone with black silicone hose in the engine bay too but thats just me...

Nice job, and hanging to see dyno figures.

Edited by MintR33

Get rid of the red on the mud flaps, 5%-18% window tint, tint the side indicators or get clear ones, black silicon hoses in the engine bay, and ceramic coat the down pipe. It'll look smick! Better then it does now, it thats possible! Lol

been thinking about wheels lately...

tyres arent a problem, i know i want at least 235mm width, and no smaller profile than 40%.

thinking along the lines of 18"s, but need some input on what sorta style wheels to go for...

im really confused, maybe some volk TE37 copies/drifteks/nismo LM GT4. something with large spokes and a fair bit of surface area, simplicity is the call for my car. 5/6 spokes max, no fiddly shit

definitely in black though. i think black suits the look of my car, and id like a bit of dish too, but nothing huge...

anyone got any ideas? (pref. with pics)...

thanks.

yeh its hard to pick wheels for my car.

hes a red example of drifteks on an x-trail...

looks good but i think they would suit soooooo much better if it was lowered.

when the turbo kits done, ill invest in some TE37s or drifteks at the same time as my coilovers.

then ill slam it with the wheels = win (i think anyway...)

Update: Got a call from Hyperdrive today, apparently the EMS is out of date and needs to be sent to the eastern states for a software update.

But before they figured this out, Andrew said they had full ignition signal (which is what I was worried about), plus a working Stinger, but still needed the new software. So it proves you can use a Stinger on an X-Trail! :)

Gonna push the tuning back a few days, once the EMS gets back, its just a case of chucking it on the dyno and tuning it!

Lower, paint flaps and then finish with the new wheels. Should look great.

I have to say this is probably my favorite project on the site and i cant wait to see how much power it puts out.

My only worry being the handling, since my dad owned a 2003 (i think) x-trail, and haven driven it a fair bit, it really cant go around corners. To high and to much roll.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
