jhonnieblue Some time ago I know Glen's in Montrose, Chaguanas had the side bars (the chrome looking tubular ones) for $3500 installed if I rember correkly. He might have the bull-bar too. I don't know who has the actual stepping board type though.

I'm hearing a hissing sound (like air escaping) from my shocks when i go over speed humps etc.

Anyone else has this issue........
Or do my shocks need replacing?

If they do need replacing whats the best choice to buy.

Do you hear the hissing noise twice for each time the front and rear wheels go over speed bumps? I want to suspect it's that you are referring to. In which case - that's normal when you go over the humps fairly quickly. That's just the shocks compressing and expanding. I hear it on mines as well.

You may have to check them 4x4 specialty stores - eg. Glenn's in Montrose, Maska in San'do...or maybe even 4x4 Trinidad. Did yours break or something? Or you just have a piece of money to spend? You can upgrade the bulbs to PIAA or something similar.

Hello everyone, I need some assistance in locating a Spiral Cable for my 05 Xtrail. This is the cable behind the steering wheel that controls the horn and airbag system.

I've tried Neal and Massy but for weeks they haven't been able to locate it as well as numerous Motorist outlets with no luck. I was told that it's the same as the one from the P12 Primera.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[b]Christian[\b] I ended up going to 18's around April - May 2009. TSW Jarama silver. 18x8, 40mm offset with 255/45 Kumho KL12 from Mileage Mack. That's about the widest you could probably fit on there! But i corner HARD with them f&$kers though!

Iirc the tyres were around +/- 900 a piece! I chose them because of the directional tread plus the beads are far enough apart to be useful in sticky situations. I eh trussin Roadstone tyres nah, which about every truck blinger have on their vehicle!
They speed balance them one time by MM and I saw them do it. But it shimmied a lot and had them speed balanced elsewhere some time after. It still shimmies a bit at about 120 though. I feel I have the hopping issue? The road noise compared to original is a lot more though! It's very similar to the big truck tyre noise with the big beads rolling on the road. It can get to you at higher speeds. I can't remember what the stock rims offset were though and how the new setup compares - in regard of bearing issues down the line....I researched quite a bit on the offset/width combination in an attempt to remain closest to stock as possible.

There is a section for the X's on nissanforums. You can check there for more info. Most of the guys on there are in Canada though, and they have the qr25 predominantly. I hope that helps.

18" 7.5j
40 offset PCD 114.5
230 50 18

I just put on a set of Nexen 7000, Z rated, 340 treadwear.....can't really perf. drive on TnT roads anymore. had 235 -50-18, 280 Tread wear Toyos b4.

245,45,18's Got Nexens in Debe at 700 ea. balanced & mounted.
Wheel wizard , 701-RIMS. Nice clean place, spacious, not a dirty tyre dump like regular places.

Drove em up the hiway to chagunas.. no probs..seemed fine....online reviews are pretty decent.

Although I am running a GT at 12psi, s/s freeflow catback, sports suspension, i don't do foolish things with it. An Xtrail ain't an S14.

Jacks got Michelin 18s at 1800 ea.
Mileagemack Got Kumhos at 1567 ea.
Tyreclinic got Dunlops at 1200 ea
Michelin Pt Lisas got ...well, Michelin at 3000ea VI.

as of today.

Nissan has sold 50,000 X-Trails in the United Kingdom, X-Trails 's reliability is very good, X-Trails Wasn't Expensive to run. X-Trail certainly has a lot to recommend it, but steer clear of poorly specified early models.

Yea fellas time has come to change the oem tyres on the trail but want to go a little wider.

It has 215/70/15 (yes 15) on it but was thinking of using a 235/60/15 or even a 245/60/15 which will be closer in overall dia to the original tyre

Will the 245 fit without touching on full lock and where can I get same?

What size tyre does the oem 16" come with btw?

2001 Nissan Xtrail, Doing 175000Kms and HAD 20inch rims on it but it messed up suspension (looks good but not worth the damage..lol). So far have changed 2 head gaskets, both thermostats, dug out the catalytic converters, and now in the process of looking for a Full timing chain kit online since my chain rattles on start up (annoying) and N&M is selling the same kit one part at a time which is ridiculous!!!! Have had the vehicle for more than 6yrs and I drive it like I stole it and it works great!! Most parts I get from Bobby's or Seenath's at the bamboo or REV-Tek on St michaels rd in arouca... Just some advice DO NOT USE FRAM FILTERS on xtrail...have seen to many ppl have to change crank cos engine starved for oil...I use Purolator and it works great...
