Yo Just oberflew your video. Sisnt know if u mentioned it. Can i get away with that turbo without a tune? Or does i 100% need a tune? (CurrentlY running stock tuebi with boost controler on 0.65bar) Working good ao far.
@Garage23
@Garage23 10 күн бұрын
A tune will always be the best route but our car still isn't tuned and it's running just fine at low boost 10psi. It's only upwards of 15 psi that you can start noticing a lack of fuel so a tune will be neccessary as well as upgrading the fuel system.

Hey, awesome stuff, man! The control arm is really sweet, I remember watching your old videos about it, I got a 1st Gen Armada 4x4 and I've found that a lot of the suspension components are the same on the 2nd Gen's, the vehicles pretty much look the exact same underneath! You could look into marketing the rear control arms to 1st Gen Armada people too, I'm about 100% sure that those are the same part, you can cross reference the part number and also the aftermarket control arms to check for sure! Looks exactly the same. Also I really like the roof rack and the whole build!

@Garage23 16 күн бұрын
Thanks so much! Yeah we are in fact marketing the arms as applicable to 2004 to 2024 Armada, Q56 and QX80. They are all the same. It's quite the cost cutting on Nissans part 😅

From my understanding it's illegal to register a RHD vehicle in Dubai so there are companies that specialize in converting JDM vehicles to LHD. This creates a market for people to import from Dubai rather than Japan if they want a LHD converted import.

I did this conversion over 15 years ago cutting those rear arches didn’t feel right at all but was definitely worth it with the end result. Parts were a lot cheaper back then to I did the oem r34 gtr motor, interior and exterior but kept the rwd and 5 speed transmission. The r34 seats needed a little modification as the floor plan is different dew to the transmission tunnel on the gtr, apart from that most bits are bolt on. Did you get the raised fender supports ?

@Garage23 22 күн бұрын

@Garage23
@Garage23 22 күн бұрын
Starting issues on Armadas always come down to either the smart charginf system, or the brake switch. So i would start with cleaning the switch as in this video as it is the cheapest option, or just replacing it all together. Next would be the smart charging system, to disable this you need to unplug the sensor attached to the negative battery terminal. This will keep the system at 14.5 volts instead of variable. There is a chance the battery is bad so have it tested and replace if needed.

Thanks for the video. Did you go for a reman or a new rack? If so, what brand did you get and where did you get it from? My 06 QX56 is also leaking, but seems to work just fine. However with the 35" tires, it's likely getting a work out combined with the long haul off road stuff I do with it.

What i usually do is drive the car really hard for at least like 10 min then Park it and don't touch it for a few days, i left it alone for a week. This has worked on most exhaust bolts for me. I just used a normal wrench and socket. One of the bolts did break tho.

Hello. I own a u13 Altima (Bluebird) SR18 5MT FWD. The drive shaft on my Altima is broken and I'm having trouble finding a part. I watched this video and it says that the dimensions are similar to the one on the B15 sentra, but is it possible to use the genuine drive shaft from the sentra on an Altima? If you know of any other parts that can be used, please let me know. I would appreciate your advice.

I'm using the B15 axles because the 6speed manual on my VQ35 is the same unit used on the B15 SER, they are the correct width for a U13 but I'm not sure if the the splines are correct for the 5speed SR gearbox. Infiniti G20 axles might be another alterative.
