Suspension Commonality with other Nissans


Hi all,

As we all know that the Murano and some other Nissan rims fit our Xtrail.
But does anyone know if our suspension struts shares a comonality / interchangability with other Nissan performance models ?

Wondering if coil-overs from other Nissans would fit our Xtrail.

There are plenty of good xtrail specific coil-overs on the market but I think Kev wants to save a bit money by trying to retro-fit from other Nissan's emoticon

Strange you should mention that Jalal, because when searching for Xtrail coil-overs I do not find any. If you have links it would be a help.

Looking at Tein and G-Reddy, they have plenty of choices for other performance Nissans such as 350Z, 200SX, etc but not Xtrail.

The main reason I am researching coil-overs is that with the possible 100mm adjustment they offer, I should be able to do -50mm for road handling and +50mm for offroad lift and be able to get the best of both emoticon

Re: Suspension Commonality with other Nissans


i.e. everything that fits a sentra?

are you sure those brands make coil-overs that will definitely fit the x-trail?

may i enquire are to your exy's lack of suspension mods?

Yes Cam, these companies or most of them make coilovers for the xtrail but the most commonly used 2 brands that are very popular and received good reports are the Hotbits and Daiyama.

The simple and short answer is that I don't believe in such a mod, or more precisely, I do not think my xtrail needs it emoticon as I said previously, it is a naturally lowered exy that hasn't impacted its off-road drive-ability. emoticon

"if it aint broke, dont fix it"

i like your thinking.

i on the other hand, have the desire for some cool suspension tuning, after dealing with race cars, i can see the x-trail has HEAPS of potential, handling wise. greater spring rates all round, some adjustable dampers and cambers, and some tricky testing, i think our exys will transform.

thats said, i agree, for a big car it handles well from stock...
