T30 XTRAIL LIFT KIT, TYRES, BRAKES, AND WHEEL BEARINGS

[@andreeffi]

Hello! very cool! I'm from Russia and also have an x-trail t30! I also raised the suspension, but I did it with spacers for the shock absorbers! your x-trail looks great!

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Nice one 🍻 how does it go offroad have you taken it many places yet I no Russia seems to have some cool 4wding places

[@user-ob7xx9yv7g]

Great job mate!

[@stiffpants]

Nice job mate! I also used King Springs in my T30 and put in new KYB shocks while at it (in March this year). For a nearly 20 year old softroader it now feels fresh and firm and rides a bit higher. Let me know if you have any issues with CV axles - I haven't yet. Also, as an FYI there is a company in Victoria called Boo's Bash Plates that sells one for this model if you want - simple install, just need to drill out a couple of bolt holes a bit to install rivnuts.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Cheers dude cv angles on mine are still pretty decent so shouldn't have to many issues I wouldn't of thought I'm actually selling it soon just doing the head gasket on it now so it's 100% sweet and then putting it up on the market

[@Shanes_Shed]

First comment😂 that's one heavy duty looking spring compressor

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

She's a beauty probably my favourite bit of special tooling I own, feels a dam lot safer using that then the 2 old school clamps

[@BelizeRealEstate-ok2ur]

Great job on the suspension and brakes! I think I've got a very small head gasket leak, there's occasional small bubbles in the coolant and the hydrocarbon test showed exhaust gas in the coolant, and it loses about a cup every hundred miles or so. I'm thinking of doing the head gasket myself, any tips or things to watch for? And about how many hours do you estimate it took?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

It took me around 12 hrs I leak the intake manifold behind supported by the support bracket which I found made it easier to install later one Nothing really jumps out at me advice wise itnwas a relatively straight forward job but just a bit time consuming

[@nathanbartlett1336]

Great video man, thank you. I own an X-Trail in Japan which has served me well. Starting to get smoe rust issues underside from all the salt roads in winter. Anything I should look out for to keep it running well, or should I consider hunting a new one?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Nice dude we don't have to worry about rust as much over here luckily but I no the rear strut towers like to rust away so that's definitely the biggest point to check. You should see it when you remove the plastic cover to get the the top bolts for the strut

[@nathanbartlett1336]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery Thanks mate. Will take a look.

[@davidxicop]

Hi Man, where did you buy the front U shape bumper? I have a t30 model and I want to custom it, by the way , excellent work , greatings

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey David it's just the factory alloy nudge bar from Nissan, there was heaps of them on market place for like $100 if you search nissan xtrail nudge bar and then your looking for one off a 2001-2007 xtrail

[@Mark-ec5oj]

Great video; you're very handy. What size tyres have you used here?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Thanks Mark 225/75/15 pos 20 offset with the rim

[@dcdc358]

13:00 spilt rubber dust boots? I have not seen any of these so far, only for CV-boots. Please tell me when you found some. Also really nice rust-free car. Mine started his weight-reduction years ago (salty winter roads unfortunately)

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey dc there's heaps online if you search shock absorber dust cover And I'm pretty lucky with rust here in aus only thing to be worried about is the salt water which is nothing a little rinse underneath won't fix after being on the beach Never seen snow in real life haha I really need to

[@dcdc358]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery As i said ... find some split ones that can be installed without taking the whole strut apart again. (going from 13:00 backwards to 11:45 ). My guess is as these things are always just advisories when doing the inspection (TÜV, MOT, etc), there is no demand for easily repair-kits.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

@dcdc358 going back a fair bit now but it was a thing when I was into my little suzuki vitaras back in the day used be able to by them slide them over and it was like a zip sort of setup that cable tied off at the bottom Super handy bloody can't find them to save my life now though

[@AdamNorris-fl4cc]

Hey mate do you think you will do a video of the blown head ?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Adam unfortunately I had to get it done asap when my landrover broke down at the same time so I didn't record it as recording doubles the time it takes for me to get the job done unfortunately Would of been a good video

[@hunterjensen4359]

Hey man! Hope this finds you. Do you think this tire size would fit if you hadn’t done the new springs? I’m considering upgrading tire size but would like to keep suspension stock.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey hunter I think it would be fine I test fit these before the lift and I think the only time it would rub with when aired down on the beach But even then it would of just rubbed on the mud flaps

[@hunterjensen4359]

@@OUTBACKDiscoveryokay thanks for the information! Really appreciate it.

[@hunterjensen4359]

One more question if you don’t mind, you mentioned that your rims are a pos 20 offset. Do you get much poke? It’s hard to tell from the video. Where im located all that is available is pos 12.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

@hunterjensen4359 morning Pos 20 kept the wheels flush with the fenders just.. Pos 12 will get you put the rim slightly outside the fenders not by much but by enough to flick dirt up your car whenever you go on a dirty road * which is what I was trying to avoid

[@anandasharma1041]

Please, where do you get all your parts for your t30 from? I am from Nepal and have a hard time finding parts for my xyee a t30 2007 diesel. Your reply will be appreciated. Thank you

[@anandasharma1041]

Will your parts people ship to Nepal?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey Ananda I bought all of my parts off ebay pretty much do you have many options for ebay over there ?

[@anandasharma1041]

Thanks a ton for your response.... no luck with ebay here.... 😕

[@enriq51]

Hello, what price did you pay for the springs?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hello I bought the whole lift kit off ebay for $650

[@rubenarmandomunozlopez3891]

Hi! What reference of springs did you use?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hello 50kg front 200kg rear pretty sure

[@sundeepsunil5686]

what is going on with this build?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey sundeep I took a bit of a break from youtube to sort out the house we are renovating and get settled into my job more The car has been sold since but have plenty of video footage saved for it just need to put in the time to edit them

[@arishmohamed9590]

HELLO, $650 ONLY FOR SPRING ? PLEASE ALSO HOW MANY INCHES YOU LIFTED AND PLEASE PUT THE LINK FOR THE EBAY

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

650 was the whole lift kit struts and coils Can't seem to find the link currently will have another look tomorrow

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Also sorry it raised the front 40mm and rear 45mm once it all settled

[@arishmohamed9590]

Thank you so much, can we put the tyre 245 70 R16, its may any rubbing

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

245 70 16 would require some manipulation of panels I think considering there just under a 31inch tall tyre I'm running 225/75/15 which is just over 28 inches tall and I get very minor scrubbing when aired down 4wding It also effected fuel economy going up from 9.4ltrs per 100km to 11.6ltr per 100km just buy going that extra inch taller then factory

[@maxtower]

hey can u share us the lift kit ?

[@trevoror8668]

Why do all that and not put new top hats on they are as cheap as chips and you will know you never have to do all that again when the hat bearing collapses

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Wasn't able to get the top hats for 2 days and had the registration inspection the days after installing all of this stuff Was on a bit of a tight time schedule but yes good point and definitely valid, if the top hats were worn I would of cancled inspection and waited for parts but they were fine so ran them I had also at this point spent around 3.2k on parts for this car not including all my labour and was budgeting for a possible faulty oil cooler and failed head gasket which both ended up needing to be done but managed to sneak it through the inspection centre and get it registered first 🤣 Was supposed to be a cheap little build for a work car and cost me 5.7k in the end including registration haha
