Sorry half asleep when i wrote that! If you have one of those thin fridge magnet cards and you apply it to the body and it doesnt stick too well, But a thick magnet sticks. How could you tell how thick the bog is?

A thin fridge magnet should always stick, unless you're on the front of a GT-R. No magnet - knock on the panel. If metal, it'll sound like a tin drum. If full of mud, the sound will be flat and dead. Also, compare the sound you get side to side. You'll also want to look for pin holes (craters), and sand-scratch swelling. A soft orange-peel petina is nice to see. If it looks like glass, it's probably been polished to hide either a coarse spray job, sinking, dirt, or runs.

    • Would be easier to just run the RB25DET gearbox, all you would need to do is have the tail shaft / prop shaft shortened. S15 uses the rear ABS diff sensor for the dash speedo, so you can skip using the gearbox speed sensor.
    • Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?
    • You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.
    • any further information on this? also interested in putting a zf6 in behind a rb30!
    • 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.
