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

Eclipse head unit, coustic amp, pioneer sub

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...

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
