anyone knows where 2 get those Bolt on turbo kits or supercharger that suit this car? as in universal ones.....and for springs Is it advisable to cut the springs or just compress them? cos aftermarket parts for this car is hard 2 find...so far only managed 2 find shock asorber upgrades for my car...for engine-wise thats not the case....only thing that this car shares is the $wd system frm the skyline....anyone care 2 comment?

the QR25 is notoriously difficult to turbocharge. It has major harmonics issues at high revs, and the yanks have found it will throw bearings quickly if turbo or supercharged.

throw bearings? as in what? i don't understand...sorry....

well the thing is that i cannot find any lowering springs for my car at all sadly...to get rid of that irritating body roll....I've only installed new Koni shocks to help reduce it but the mian thing is that the springs and the ride height is too tall

[sergei_dekker85]

Hard? Hmm will changing the shocks help?

[sergei_dekker85]

heck I don't mind having less comfort....i'd prefer 2 get rid of that irritating body roll....that way i feel safer when i corner at high speeds in thi s thing

[sergei_dekker85]

and here's the prob....Koni only offers shocks to my car...not springs...

[sergei_dekker85]

well the thing is that i cannot find them...thats the prob

[sergei_dekker85]

ok a few mroe qn if u guys dun mind......My tire size is 215/65 R16....I'm planning 2 change to 17 inch Rims or 18 inch....which is the correct size reccomended for 17 and 18 respectively? and will wider tyres help in cornering stability? if so then wads the size u guys reccomend me W/O affecting the speedo accuracy cos i know that a wrong offset for my currecnt tyre will result in the loss of accuracy in the speedo

consider looking for a new sway bar for your nissan. a bigger diameter (stiffer) sway bar will cut down roll and you'll still be able to keep all the suspension travel of the normal springs, assuming you want that.

[sergei_dekker85]

sawy bars? isnt that hard 2 find? cos none of them are universal fit for all nissan cars...and i don't think they have ANY for SUVs

[chocobo2]

Isn't the xtrail based on the altima platform? if so, i think there's a bunch of stuff for it.

[sergei_dekker85]

yeah...found quite a No. of mods for the engine and the suspension as well...saving up for it now as i speak

dude no offense but I'm just lowering it Abit....not ALOT.....just 2 reduce the body roll thats all...improve handling abit....heck i dun intend 2 take it onto the track...i still need this baby 2 go off road abit...and 4 the turbo I'm not getting an Outgrageously BIG one....a very small oen just 2 boost the torque at very low RPMS....my engine lacks low end torque...cos max torque comes at 4000RPM....quite high eh? not really suitable for off roading and towing heavy loads....
