I'm witness of that.

As some of you have read before, I've experienced a floodage drive-trough during rain season.

I were driving at Queretaro City loop & when I arrived to the exit, I saw all kind of cars & even larger trucks that turned crazy & were making manouvers to avoid the floodage, entering the loop by an exit.

I saw a urban bus & calculate the height of the water, with the bus' wheel, turned head & told my mother (wich I drove there) let's see what the X-Ty is made of.... it were ~70cms (always under the bonnet/hood/cofre ) & my FWD X-Ty crosses the water body without any complain, launching water like crazy, but it goes out like if nothing happends,

As Jalal told, you'll be surprised what an X-Ty can do.

Everybody, be EXTREMELY careful about trying to cross floodwaters in any vehicle. If you misjudge the depth and there's any current at all, you and your vehicle can easily be swept away. Let's save the river running for canoes and kayaks. It's tough to paddle a truck.

Yep, you're right, take a lot of car.

Fortunatelly I took the X-Trail, if I took Sentra or Scenic, it would be another story.

I also agree with this statement and would like to assure everyone that we got out and checked the depth of every puddle and mud whole before attempting to cross it in our off-road adventure.

Better be safe than sorry

Jalal & all the X-Ty folks, look what I found at another forum, it's a Sentra/Sunny B14 (like mine) with the pedals that we want from a 350Z:



If its possible to fit them in a B14, I'm shure they can be mounted in a X-Ty

Thorongil, nice looking set-up!

Jalal, awesome off-roading pictures!

Manuelga, Nice Sleuth work!

aussietrail

Thanks for the photo Manuel.

Mine is Automatic, so the pedal set-up will be different. I haven't had the chance to check the Aussie 350Z pedals yet, but hopefully I'll do that soon.

Here are some recent photos of our XTy

Viper,

I bought a set of 4, 16" alloy wheels that are exactly like yours. I just could not pass on them when they where selling so cheap by another xtrailer. They came off a 2004 model.

So, I did a quick calculation between my chrome alloy wheels expensive dream and this cheap/bargain reality and made my decision to stick with OEM alloys.

I now have to sell my 15" alloy wheels to buy 16" tyres (and a spare rim)

Picking the alloy wheels up tomorrow (well, actually today, as it's 1:15am here now)

Good to hear Jalal, Congrats on the new rims, they will look very nice on your XTy, It's dissapointing they will not have the "Bling" you were after, but you can always upgrade later

Hey do me a favor when you pick them up, please measure the backspacing(offset) and the rim width for me. For the offset, place a tape measure against the inside mounting surface and measure to the redge of the rim. For the width, an inside lip to inside lip will do. I just need to know

Thanks

Yeah I know, no bling this time, maybe I'll come across another good deal that would be very hard to pass and if I'm lucky it'll be "bling" ones These rims sure look nice on black xtrails, so am happy.

Sure thing about the measurements.

I had even did a hack photo-chop job on those "Bling" rims on your XTy at one time, but I was embarrassed to post it because it was such a shoddy job. Seeing as you are getting other ones, I'll post it now if you don't mind.... I'm such a

Tell me if you want it down...

aussietrail

Excellent art work there Viper!

I changed my mind and cancelling the pick-up of the other wheels today and getting the bling ones instead LOL just kidding

No, I don't mint at all, keep it here, so others can visualise this type of rims on a black exy.

I always wondered how they gonna look like on mine, now I know. Thanks.

Hi Viper,

Picked-up my new 16" rims this morning and they look awesome (not a single scratch on them) have a look





Anyway, I didn't have to take any measurement, as they're clearly labelled on the inside of the rims





So the offset is 40 and rim width is 6 and 1/2 JJ

Hope this helps

Am gonna have to start shopping for tyres now.
