Nissan Xtrail Owners: Questions and stuff

**zeagle** · August 5th, 2005 01:22 AM

Welcome CaloyMD! Are you a doctor? I put 31psi on my Xty for comfort. 29 psi is to low. I think Nissan just wants to make the ride soft.

caloyMD: Yes there is a difference but I don't think its very significant. We have 16" rims, that is also a factor in ride comfort.

Yah im a psychiatrist, hehe. Dunno why, but people tend to become wary when I let them know that, hehe. Promise, no psychoanalyzing!
Thanks for letting me know about the tire pressure. I'll do that 1st thing tomorrow.
I'm a bit unsure about the color we picked (I chose the car, my wife chose the color); In bright light it's a nice blue, but under certain lighting conditions it seems almost... lavender? Urgh.
I keep hoping no problems will crop up.

Hehehe... Nice to meet you doc. I'm sure our fellow Xty owners here will be able to answer your queries.

Keep us updated caloy with your Xtrail. Don't forget to Rev it past 6000RPM once in a while, sounds good

and it goes..

caloymd: nice choice of color ! maganda nga yun e hehe kakaiba at konti!! yup i think 6-7km/l is good enogh heheheh sakin mo ata kinompare haha last week nung nag karga ako got 5.7km/l so guys .. be happy with your milage hahahaha

funrun?? game ! this sunday pwede ako at next week hehehe ok sana kung this sunday hehe para masubukan na agad at mag gas pa ang xtrail ko hahahha

kmo: ok lang naman halos every week ako nagchecheck, tutal nasanay na din ako as matagtag na tsikot hehehe.

Si bossing johnnyd na bahala magorganise ng fun run

order of seniority diba hehehe

**caloymd** · August 5th, 2005 02:00 AM

Kmo: haha, yes yung sayo nga nabasa ko! Ang mahal na ng gas, was hoping to get better mileage. In some reviews I read, 9-10km/L, even with the AC on! Thought it was because it was in canada or europe kaya walang AC masyado, but yung iba specified naka-AC daw. Kainis, I've been trying to hold back on the gas para sana tumipid, hehe. Siguro hataw ka palagi!
Ok ba i-rev to 6000rpm? Pano ba break-in rules? meron ba?
Dunno if the "upgrades" are worth it. I just wanted the 250x to bring to anilao for diving or up north to Sagada, so the engine was my main concern. Kung ano-ano pala kasama, dunno if I'll ever find them handy.

**kmo** · August 5th, 2005 02:04 AM

caloymd: i think yung bagong xtrail is for me mas de appealing than the previous 250x hehe dapat sinubukan mo nlng kumuha ng lumang body pa alam ko meron pa e silver at orange ata nakita ko dati sa shaw na showroom ! yun walng mga dagdag na like baby fender mirror, rear fog, hyper roof rail engine cover yan ata yung nagpamahal e sympre dagdag so paiti presyo dagdag hehe

hehe ako suko na ako sa patipiran na yan hehe nakakapagod mgdrive ng mabagal e hehe ano ba kinakarga mo? gamit ko kasi blaze e baka kaya rin mas matakaw ! ang mahal fulltank ko 1800 hehehehe

ok pang anilao yan ! si zeagle yan ang ruta lagi e anilao alabang makati kng san san pa umaaby xtrail nya kaya 21k na tinakbo less than a yaer hehehhe sinulit e haha

ok na ihataw hataw yan i think.. de na ata uso mga break in preiod e kasi mga tao galing sa planta sa sta rosa hinahataw rin nila e ..

caloy: Since madalas kang mag long drive, install ka ng sounds

me, johnnyd, and zeagle have aftermarket systems installed, and I tell you in a long drive sulit!

To be sure wait after 1000kms before pushing it.

Yes it is possible to achive 10km/li even with the A/C on. I had 12km/li on our tagaytay trip, but with streches with my A/C off.

Kmo, tama ka dun, mas gusto ko yung grill nung older version. Medyo napabigla yung bili ko, di ako nagtingin masyado ng ibang unit. Nag-testdrive lang ako, dun nagsimula. Within one week pumayag na wife ko bumili at ibenta na accord namin na luma, kelangan kasi ng automatic.
Medyo weird nga baby fender mirror, haven't found a use for it. Yung climate control di naman nagagamit, laging lowest setting sa manual control ako. Yung folding side view mirrors, lagi ko nakakalimutan i-fold (sabagay, di ko alam kung upgrade yun). Rear fog lights, was glad to read in previous posts naging useful siya sa malakas na ulan, bec di ko maisip nung una para saan pa 'yun. Yung roof rails, useful daw sa "dark provincial roads", malalaman ko pag-akyat sa sagada siguro, hehe. Parang mahirap i-try sa city driving, hehe.
