Well, apart from the mods that are mentioned on my xtrail web site:

http://jalalski.tripod.com/

I have also recently done the following:

* Upgraded the cluster dials from black to white (i.e. picked-up the dials from a Ti Xrail at the wreckers)

* Added a set of genuine nissan Ti tweeters (also from the wreckers)

* Changed the side blinkers to white.

* Replaced the tailgate garnish with a chrome one (instead of the colour-coded one that was there)

* Replaced the front grille with a chrome one (instead of the colour-coded one that was there)

On my wish list of things to do:

* Upgrade to 16" alloy wheels (hopefully to be sourced from the wreckers as well)

I currently have a set of 15" alloys on mine.

* Get the centre multi-purpose console, which I've been hunting down for a while now.

* Get the back door handle (same as bove, still hunting)

* Get the roof mounted DVD system (aftermarket)

Hi Guys,

My latest mod is somewhat very exciting and it involves chaging the exhaust system from the cat. back with high flow sports muffler and double tail-pipes on the sides.

I have decided to go with 2 resonators to keep the noise level down and that was the perfect choice, as it is quiet as a mouse.

For all pics and a review, see the report I posted on the Aussie Forum HERE

Wow!

Got my oil catch can on Ebay for $16.00 including shipping. The Nismo whelss you can get are the ones intended for the 350Z (Fairlady) or the Altima/Maxima. The Skyline wheels are too wide.

TjC · Nov 9th, 2005, 01:25 AM

the catch can is ment for the XT??

or are they universal?

How many Inches are they??? oh yes can u confirm that the Xty shares brakes with the altima???

Terranismo · Nov 9th, 2005, 01:38 PM

The catch can is universal. It went on with no problems whatsoever.

The Skyline wheels are 8 inches (at least) of width.

The Murano discs seem (again SEEM) to be a direct bolt-on to the X. I'm planning on later upgrading to Brembo Murano blanks with Pagid or EBC pads.

If so please let us know if they Fit....as I find the Xtys braking power appalling...Cos I am thinking of either Fitting Silvia S15 brakes or the R32's brakes

Terranismo · Nov 13th, 2005, 10:46 PM

R32 brakes would be overkill, especially if you don't install a manual proportioning valve to regulae brake pressure to the rear wheels. I actually find the front brakes quite strong, but the rear brakes leave a lot to be desired.

I took a good look at a Murano the other day and it seems the front rotors will fit without any issues, but the rears won't as they use a floating caliper instead of the disc/drums the X has.

A friend of mine has a Murano so I'll ask him if he can fit 15 inch wheels on his truck. I need to know this, since I already have some 15 inch steel wheels to mount when I go drag racing again.
