The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Sinista32]

Dad somehow dropped the oil out of his x-trail and the engine is dead.

So im going to change it for him.

So... x trail forums for info and advice.... yay, advice from oldies in 4wds.

RB26/30 ?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

I did think about it but the xtrail is east west 4cyl, so no room.

sr20 4wd might fit.

But i think il just change it over for a second hand qr or whatever it is.

Sr20det will blow the box and driveshafts etc.

There was a guy on here who was pushing 220awkw from his X-trail LOL

[D.I.Y. Mik]

The Japanese only gt version had an sr20vet, 208kw.

Better than the det with variable cam or something.

Mum said time for a new car, so no fixing the x trail.

Dads going to sell it to pickles or something.

Anyone here have a consult module I can borrow need to cycle through my ABS as I have a spongy brake pedal. I've bench bled the master cylinder. Pressure bled the system with zero bubbles coming out after the fourth attempt.

[Sinista32]

wouldn't normally recommend but

Find a good place, accelerate to 100+ and then jump on brakes

makes abs work and shifts fluid

Can also put 2 wheels on dirt and brake hard, ABS will work but slightly more dangerous

Last suggestion - Ring John at Trojans on Monday after 9.30am

[B-rice]

thanks Richard that method certainly works it's quite hard now lol. Ill do it once more thenpressure bleed it again since there should be air in the lines now from the ABS. Thanks mate

[Sinista32]

No worries - had same issue.

It's not something Nissan recommend but it's nigh on impossible to get the kit that allows cycling through for the ABS units.

It's not just the standard consult.

The faster the speed and more aggressive the stops the better the result . You will even get a lock up when the cars almost come to a halt

With 2 yres in the dirt is a good way to test your abs actually works. About 80kms, put the left side of the vehicle on the dirt and pull up quickly.

The 2 tyres on the bitchamen will shudder forward and the 2 on the dirt slide a bit. It's just the surfaces that help the testing.

Should feel a shudder in the brake peddle

Went down to belco for some things, on the Ratfink, on the way home i caught the edge of my shoe on the chainguard and bent it.

Im sure its alloy as i put a thumbprint in it trying to straighten it out. No luck, its rippled now.

Its a pretty nuts bike, its so long, i have to dismount for gutters or it will bottom out on the front sprocket. Its so low i have to be careful with the pedals or they bottom out around corners.

Its with sorrow to say that the method was short-term.Guess something else could be wrong now but I can say it's safer to stop it than before. I'll take it to Trojan tommorrow and see how it goes. Am I meant to come to a complete stop? If so might have to put shitty stockies and try again?

[Sinista32]

pretty close to a complete stop to get ABS to engage properly

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you

back to the drawing board

[B-rice]

I think I'm just a bit a afraid I'll flatspot my Michelins so I'll do with another set of tyres

[RosieR34]

Speechless. That Nismo GT3 GTR was in a whole other league on those last 2 laps. What a crazy finish. So happy right now. GO NISSAN!

[dontyellpl0x]

Was a great race. Considering none of them are pro drivers it was an amazing effort!

[Got a Pulsar]

Yeah That Datto smashed 'em good.

3.5 minutes to go, first place and done.

[RosieR34]

Took 1st and 2nd in about 100m of road haha.

Isn't the Japanese driver a pro driver? Didn't think he was a GT Academy driver.

Theres two classes for the GT3 Outright category. GT3 Class A ProAm - Pro and Amateur drivers, and GT3 Class A Am - Amateur drivers.

Nismo GTR was the latter

[RosieR34]

So, confused... What's a better win? AA or A? Tv was acting as if AA won the whole day? Confused. First time watching 12 hour

[dontyellpl0x]

AA is more impressive. So called "Amateurs" beating the Pros
