What parts you having trouble sourcing?

So far i have changed steering ends and stabilizer bar links.

The X-trails uses the same steering ends as the 4WD Frontier Outer ends.

Both parts were bought at The Motorist OEM ting.

Oh also those K&N filters do more harm than good eh, yes they are high flow but they allow plenty dirt to get through and mess up your MAF sensor.

I tossed that crap out and gone back to OEM paper filters

Pioneer are you talking about the cone K&N or the drop in ? Or both?

pioneer · Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:13 pm Post subject:

Drop in

Pioneer - You`re right abt the K&N filters , but as long as you keep them oiled properly , it should be ok for everyday driving. I dont use them though .. Neutral

I think the Air Filter is interchangeable with the B15(anyone confirm). I use sakura paper filters , with no problems so far , changed once in the last year.

Tinitman, Jeff - Cant help you guys with the interior stuff, that`ll best be sourced from a crashed vehicle. Will keep an eye out. Wink

Yeh i use Sakura with no problem

Cheaper to buy a $40 filter every so often than to eventually have to buy a new MAF sensor because of some dotish filter

A-1818 is the Sakura filter. QG13-18/LD20-II/SR18-20/QR20/RB20-25/WRX

Oil Filter- Fram 6607 or Bosch KO69

fuel filter is in the tank, same B15/Wingroad filter, but different than the Almera.

The Alternator belt for the Engine is a 6PK2247.

Front wheel bearings are the same as the A33 and P12, a big massive Sealed bearing. While there are two types of Rear wheel bearings for the vehicle. Some come with a press type rear wheel bearing, while others come with complete rear hub.

Yeh i put 17" rims...no "big" rim really...seeing it came with stock 16"

TintMan · Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:38 pm Post subject:

for some strange reason when you put aftermarket rims on a vehicle ..some part of the front suspension goes esp the stearing end s

Prior to my exy i had a Maxima A33 from Massy .. as soon as i got it i some 18 s after some years i had to change the ends .... main culprit - rims

i was realy thinking about putting some rims on the exy but i enjoying the ride too much to change the rimsssss.....

I see alot of Exys with alot of big rims on them .. i feel in some years to come there will be a big demand for suspension parts

pioneer · Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:44 pm Post subject:

Yeh i only changed the rims cuz i was in a lil "situation" and two rims got damaged

And one original rim was $3000...so i say firetruck dat

Original rims ftw...cherish them...don't ever change or sell them Neutral

And yeh those idiots who putting 20's...so sad to be them in a few months time

TintMan · Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:48 pm Post subject:

hey Pioneer you still have the other 2 original rims ????

pioneer · Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 11:15 pm Post subject:

lol nope...one day i came home and all 4 were gone

pops gave dem away...along with new goodyear tyres Neutral

LOL that hard boy .....pops sprang the rims for nothing ......
