Topic: What have you done for your Rig lately.

[RikRong]

I am sending my Scangauge this week for an update, looking forward to getting temps.

Yeah, it's definitely nice.  I think I'm going to load up the TPMS gauges, too, just to have them on there.  I think this would interesting to watch during road trips.

Well today I finally got my X back. Bro in law borrowed it for 2 weeks. Well today I had the chance to remove the front sway bar. Now the X is getting prepped to get the trans pulled to replace the rear main seal and trans to be sent out to get rebuilt. Trying to sort out the leak son the truck before CANVAS this year.

Got her dirty this weekend.

Decided to tackle the 1.5” wheel spacers today... …… Took my time and it turned out great.  Minor trimming, heating and cutting but it was easier than I thought it would be. Nobody would ever know by looking at it. Just went over next-door to a empty parking lot and went over a bunch of curb stops at full lock left and full lock right...No rubbing!

Special thanks to JFanaselle for pointing me to the link.....  http://www.thenewx.org/forum/50-members-xterra/204626-albatrosscafes-flexterra-now-4-10s-11.html#post3430057

Just a tip, make sure to apply anti seize between the spacer and the rotor/hub.  I forgot on one side and ended up having to destroy the spacer getting it off the hub.

Wow, really.....I would NOT have guessed it would be necessary in So Cal.

These were on the truck for a few years and i did make a trip out east and camped/off road on the NC Outer Banks for a few days, there was plenty of salt water puddles out there so that probably didnt help. The drivers side that had anti seize came off super easy.

Never dealt with spacers in my whole automotive modding history and I always wondered, what torque specs are spacers done at? at mfg specs or your own specs? I can only assume, mfg specs and slightly more from spacer to wheel.

I did this,
 Stealership wanted $150 to diagnose the problem

[RBduffer]

Jay, you saved $150!  PBRs all around
Thanks for the Xterra PSA.

I had a buddy come over with his reading gizmo, Because my check engine light came on
again they wanted $150 to diagnose the problem but not fix lots of PBR
I found out my EVAP canister is dirty , so I'm going to try this

I go by the popular opinion that you torque to the same settings as you would wheels. I tighten to apron 100ftlbs.

Jayrat, the parts stores will all read engine codes for free as well.  I have that same code, p0448 i believe on my blue X and Dave has it on his yellow X as well.  He already tried the blowout method + extension and it helped for awhile and the code came back.  The last run to the junkyards we both just bought newer complete canisters from newer street only Xterras to just swap the whole thing, $25.

[JFanaselle]

I removed my Radflo 2.5s, and I'm taking them to be rebuilt today. In the interim, I threw my stock coilovers back on, just so I can move the Xterra around and out of the garage if I need to...

That stance though..... don't be jealous of my rake.

Who is doing your rebuild and how much $?  That stance makes you front tires like a lot bigger than the rear.
