Whats up Jordan i just ordered a titan swap kit for my frontier got radflo coilovers! Only problem is the lead time could be a month or two before i even get it.😢😢
@@thedude828-ed2nn unfortunately, with the smaller group of customers that modify Nissans, I just don't think it benefits the companies to keep a lot of things in stock so they just make them to order. You'll enjoy it though.
I may be biased because im a frontier owner and used to have a Xterra but man your truck looks the best out there in my opinion i know the jeeps are very capable and have a solid front axle but yours looks awesome!!
This was one of the best step-by-step explanations videos I've seen on youtube for installing an ARB cover for the Xterra. Thanks for doing the work and putting this together.
A couple people have told me this. But I can't reproduce the problem. It works on my computer and I tried it at work and on a friends computer and it seems to work ok. I don't know how to fix it.
Hi. Can you answer if you want. It doesn’t pertain to video. I had engine replaced in my 06 frontier with a low mileage used. No transmission issues. A few days after, a line clip came off and I lost a lot of fluid. The replacement was done at a dealership. They refuse to accept responsibility. They are claiming I had transmission issues before that happened. On the test drive, they said it slipped really bad. They checked atf and added 2 qts. To me, they should have checked fluid level after especially if some atf is lost during swap. Isn’t 2 qts a lot? Anyway I also purchased a parts and labor warranty they aren’t honoring. Just bad all around. Going to sue in small claims. Just too much money not to. Thanks for your input
Lots of variables here. You may lose some ATF fluid when pulling an engine but 2 quarts seems like a lot to lose doing that. In terms of total volume, the automatics in these vehicles hold 10.9 qts so it's possible that you may not have noticed any slipping if it was minor and your not attuned to what that feels like but it was probably slipping for sure if it was 2 qts low. The line coming off would depend on what line or where it was. If it's not one they had to disconnect to pull the motor then sure, it's their fault, but there are transmission lines that you wouldn't have to disconnect to pull the motor. Overfilling may cause a lot of pressure to build as the fluid heats and expands but I can't say for sure that was what caused it. If you've got a lot of miles on the car and it's the original transmission it is possible to be low on fluid if it's never been serviced properly.
Hard to say. Haven't looked at prices of M205s recently and you'd be wasting your money buying used lower control arms. They're not that expensive to buy from someone like Rockauto. Furthermore, regions can greatly affect the cost of a junkyard M205. For example, Alaska which has fewer junkyards would charge a premium and the same may go for Florida which receives higher volumes of 2WD trucks than somewhere with harsher weather like Colorado. Also, if you don't have a Pro4x or Off Road trim Xterra with an automatic transmission, you will probably have to regear your Xterra since the majority (possibly all) M205s have 3.36 or 2.94 gears and not all Xterra did
This was most common in 2005-2006 model years with a few reports in 2007 and even less in 2008. It was believed to be completely remedied by 2009. Mine is a 2008 and the Frontier has all the same components. It's a cheap repair so I went ahead and spent the $50 instead of taking the chance of it happening and ruining the transmission.
@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports I just recently purchased my frontier with 139k on it. Believe i have the same oem radiator. Only the sway bars and auto trans gasket replaced according the car fax. Seems to run fine. Anything i should be looking at maintenance wise?
@@phambruhh7003 Look at your motor mounts. That's a common problem with these trucks. They go bad. Not a terrible DIY job. I replaced mine with polyurethane ones but mine were preventative. They hadn't gone bad yet. If it was off roaded, check the rear axle bearings and seals. The rear diff breather is way too low and can suffer from water intrusion if it's been in deep water. If not, it's no big deal. If you plan to wheel it, look up the rear diff breather extension. The major thing was the SMOD. Otherwise they're pretty damn reliable. Easily 300k miles with regular maintenance.
I don't know if anyone specifically but from what I understand, the case is just stronger. Probably won't make much difference if your not mashing the throttle every chance you get. And as long as you don't live in arctic temperatures. But I can't say for certain. I went with the 3 rib design
Screw the jeep crowd i had a 07 Xterra and that thing was a great vehicle but unfortunately it got totalled not by me though. I got a frontier sv i wanted a pro 4x but i had to have a longer bed for work. So i had to get arb air locker for the rear im planing on getting another one for the front diff soon. Anyway people love to trash Nissan but they are hella reliable and easy to work on they can keep their jeeps im a believer in this platform.
In the Jeep crowds defense, it was really only one drunk redneck girl. But yeah she's been dead reliable. The only things I've had problems with are the things I've caused by pushing her with upgrades and hard trails
Love the Xterra i got a frontier i want to titan swap. Anyway awesome rig just subbed!! And most of all thank you for your service to our great country!!!💪🇺🇲🇺🇲
Pretty sure I'd be getting the short end of that deal! Besides I've got enough trouble trying to clear my hood with this intake. All the new ones are even taller
After 6 Jeeps and dealing with the crap electronics thanks Chrysler on all Jeeps ! No more Jeeps ! I like my Xterra much better, just as capable and 10 times more reliable than any Jeep and Xterra's are just cooler !
Ended up taking it to someone to tune the carb. He went down two sizes on the primary jet, used a different metering rod (can't remember which one, and went with a hotter plug. I just had to replace the ignition switch too.
You saved my life. That frickin valve gave me a meltdown until I found your video. I turned the valve the 45 degrees but it wouldn't budge so I never knew if I was in the right area. I did manage to feel it was in the right area and used a mini tool to pop off. PITA for sure! Thank you!
@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports crazy I replaced the part and deleted and scanned it same code p0447 I'm stumped thinking about removing charcoal canister do u know wat sensor is next to this one
@@user-ff9ij1zg8f Hmmm? Well, the code is for a general code for the PCM reading an EVAP system malfunction so it could be a few things if that didn't fix it Faulty or loose fuel cap Faulty purge control solenoid Charcoal canister clogged or broken Fuel vapor hoses cracked or broken Vacuum lines cracked or broken Faulty pressure sensor Faulty flow sensor
Cool, super beautiful and awesome Mr Jordan, oh by the way sir I to lift a little bit my 2006 Nissan Xterra off-road, if you don’t mind May ask you about the details, thank you for sharing the ideas about the transmission cooler wow super cool and awesome boss thank you
@@arzibanez3924 if your asking about my lift, take a look at my walk around video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iMOsJvUNmOY.htmlsi=nzksyk2r2YFzLm05 You can also look at my build thread on Thenewx.org. www.thenewx.org/threads/the-material-girl-2008-titan-swapped-or.60927/ If your looking to find info on lifting your rig, look at All Dogs Off-road, Z1 Motorsports, or Nisstec Lifts. They're all Nissan oriented parts dealers
@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports actually there is 2" spacer on the coil spring coz my pathy modified with 2" lift kit but my issue right now the stock UCA when drive over into those bump it hits to coil spring frame or whatever called is.
Well you can only use the Titan or Armada UCA if you do the Titan swap. You can't use the UCA without the corresponding LCA. And your 2" spacer will not for coilovers used in a Titan swap. It will only work with factory coils
I have an X20 Gen 2 and all I did was take out the old transmitter and luckily the Amazon transmitter had the same color wiring. So I took the old one out and put the new one in. And worked.
Very cool car. I didn't hear him say much about the front suspension and steering. Stock steering box? Borgenson conversion? Rack and pinion conversion? The hydroboost was a good idea. I have a C5 Z06 which is an amazing autocross car in stock form but I also have a '73 4 speed car that I'm building because the old stuff is just a blast to drive. It won't cut better numbers than the Z06 will but it is just more raw and fun to toss around. One suggestion on your interviews, slow down a bit and don't interrupt the speaker. Listen to what they say, then respond. Otherwise, a good video.
Thanks for asking. I installed a Steeroids power rack-n-pinion setup in place of the OEM box. Enjoy the more direct control w/o all the extra appendages of the original. I also added a small hydraulic oil cooler on the return side of the pwr steering pump, for those hot summer days. I agree that the older tech is more challenging to keep up with the newer platforms but hands down, it is a fan favorite to see the vintage car performing at levels that reminds the C5 and newer cars where their roots come from. I truly enjoy competing with my friends in the circuit and exercising the capabilities of the upgrades.
Custom Alcan leafs with 4" lift and 400lbs over stock. PRG extended shackles. Bilstein 5100 rear shocks. Check out the walk around video on my channel!
Im guessing your talking a VK56 swap which is often mistakenly called a Titan swap. I have not done that but it's gonna depend alot on what type of engine you get (salvage, rebuilt, new) and how much work you can do yourself. If you Google Off Road Gorilla, they have done it and can give you a lot of info as well as build you a wiring harness that you'll need.
Thanks for relating your experience with a "FULL TITAN Swap" I've watched enough videos to realize that the Infinity Qx80 CV shafts were NOT designed for the riggers of wheeling with heavy tires. Your diff swap is the best solution I've seen short of the solid axle swap or buying a jeep and fixing Chrysler's design flaws
And Solid axle swaps are very difficult in these vehicles. There's no cheap way to do it with the way the frame is designed. You can't slap leaf springs on like you could on the older generation Xs
