DaGrootX racing mint 400 behind the scenes and race footage.
Behind the scenes race prep for the 2023 mint 400.
We raced class 7 and made it 70 miles before calling it. Turned out to be a bad radiator cap that plagued us from the start. Coolant system wasn’t holding pressure. We battled through a belt coming off and 20 miles of no power steering. The truck did well.
The Nissan xterra race truck is truly awesome to drive. More mods and improvements needed but she rips!

Xterra Race carnage. What did we break.
Переглядів 264Рік тому
We raced the xterra race truck at the California 300 in Barstow California. We made it 15 miles before we slid off a mountain and got stuck in a precarious spot. We broke an axle and this is the aftermath once we got home.

California 300 race recap. Xterra race truck class 2000. Racer number 2077. We got through tech, left the start line and got 15 miles under our belt before I ran out of talent and went off a hill. Tried to drive down to the bottom and go back to a lower trail and broke an axle when we got stuck. All in all I’m proud of my team for helping me get her off the starting line. Everything after that ...

We signed up to race the California 300 race in Barstow California. We will be starting in class 200 with some other big trucks. The xterra race truck needed some final touches to get it through tech inspection so I spent a bunch of time with some good buddies race prepping the race truck.

The xterra race truck was let loose when we took her out to test at the OLAF adventure festivus at the 2022 king of the hammers. We did a bunch of testing and feeling her out to see where the gremlins were. All in all the xterra ran great. There are a few minor problems we need to address but no show stoppers. After a day and a half of driving we took the xterra to a nice little jump section an...

Race Xterra exhaust upgrade. flowmaster??
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 роки тому
The extremely loud xterra race truck needed to tone down the excessily loud exhaust so I installed some single chamber flowmaster/summit racing race mufflers in addition. To the black widow “neighbor haters” that were on already. The mufflers did quiet it down but I have a feeling it’s still too roudy. We will see since we are weeks away from taking her out to the desert for second testing sess...

Xterra Race truck transmission and intake. Making progress
Переглядів 7733 роки тому
The Xterra race truck is getting a new transmission. After the initial test session the automatic trans was constantly going to to fail safe so I decided to install a manual trans. I found a low mileage manual transmission for the Xterra and got a killer stage there clutch and flywheel from Jim wolf. I also installed my Ump intake under the dash and plan out the tube routing.

The new Z1 OFF-ROAD speed cleats are the best thing since shower beers. No more kids slipping out of the truck bed when the factory tie down anchors loosen up. No more teeth jarring rattles. When you install the new Z1 speed cleats on your Nissan Frontier you immediately gain 3” per cleat!! Dang that’s a lot of inches. These things store easily and don’t take up much needed room in your frontie...

you seem like an idiot
That poor dog was watching the welding without eye protection 🤣
Clicked the link didn’t take me to the website. Says its a domain for other sites. I hope these are still available
Have you moved or are you permanently closed? I looked you up and Google said closed permanently!
What exhaust do you have on it? I really like it and want to do something similar
Is this truck Titan swapped?
Where did you get the front bumper?
Sick truck
I cant seem to locate your websites are you still producing these items for the Frontier and Xterra ?
your truck is a garage queen so why even install a chimney when you know damn well thats not going in water and a cold air intake, all that for what?
Vq40?
Do you have a app that tells you what the tune does
The website isn’t working. Are they still in business?
I drive a Frontier Desert Runner with the stock VQ40 and a nice little muffler on it, no trumpet sounds, mine has more of a stock 1990’s 4.3 chevy non-turbo sound. edit: ik it sounds kinda weird, but the truck sounds good and performs good too!
Any Phoenix, AZ enthusiast here?
When are you going to update us for the upcoming race?
Who made your fenders? I'd like to get a set. I finally got hit by d o t for Not having wide enough thunder flares. I can put some cheap garbage on, but over time it will end up getting replaced anyways.
That Nisstec banner is a collector's item now. 😔
Do they still offer this tune for the 4.0L?
Slick ride man. Love the car alarm set-off
very impressive - thanks
does it feel stiffer than stock with the swap? im considering doing it to mine but I look for comfort on bad roads
There is a user on TheNewX forum who makes a plug and play wire harness pigtail that does the locker mod. It takes all of 30 seconds to install, and the same amount of time to remove it if you want to put it back to stock config for any reason. I have one installed on my 2010 Xterra OR. The locker mod and being able to use the locker in 2wd or 4hi is an absolute game changer.
Does anyone Performanc Tune the New Nissans 3.8 L?
Have you thought of getting the AE headers? I'm thinking of that. Also, I'm wondering about engine swap. 4.0 to the newer 3.8. Wondering if it's a plug-in play or if there's a lot of differences with mounting. I have about 240k miles on my '06 Pathfinder.
What is to stop the gas from leaking in-between the metal and the plastic tank. the only seal is the gasket on the top
Also, how would I go about taking mine to get tuned after a new intake? I've never had a vehicle tuned. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do exhaust upgrade or not yet.
Why did you say the intake tube wouldn't last? Is it the quality? How long will it last? I'm trying to decide between K&N or aFe for my 2019 Frontier 4.0
Hey, What all did you do to the VQ40? and where can I get the wide body fenders front and back?
Hey, can you please tell me how you liked 255/85/16
Loved them!! Super hard to find though.
How do u swap to titan mirrors? That’s awesome. Do u loose the light or is there a titan year mirrors with lights ?
Have you Dynoed it for HP numbers?
Yea I'm curious too, I'm towing a 6x12 with a micro sprint car behind my xterra and it's having some trouble keeping up on the highway, would like to improve that a bit before i have to buy a different vehicle.
so question am i the only one that noticed your belt wasnt put on right its back toward the engine one rib thats why your belt is worn that bad
Yeah. That got replaced and fixed. Good heads up.
Dude, you are living your dream, awesome! Balls of steel! Keep digging!
We have to talk soon about the race
I’m ready!!
Keep chugging away brother. Did you find out the cause of overheating?
What kit of suspention used this truck?
It’s a nisstec titan swap with radflo 2.5s
What year is your armada?
2011
Those are cool door panel inserts. Are those handmade or did you get them from somewhere? Love the channel BTW
Thanks man! They are super handy!! You can get them from nissteclift.com.
I am late to this mod! Just want to make clear, I have a 4WD Xterra, I can do this mod and have my rear diff lock? I don't need no special gear/diff part added?
Yep. And now I believe someone on thenewx.org is actually making an adapter harness..
Same gain as an oil change or a fresh coat of wax....
Ok what about swapping the rear Xterra differential for a titan? Is it as easy as you make a front swap. 😅
I have a 04 xterra, if it’s going to be a pavement princess, and I swap to a 5.6. Do I need to swap the frt/rear diff?
No. But the swap won’t work on a 04 either way.
I like your video because you started with "im happy!." You know how many people never do that?? Makes a huge difference. Blessings and sweet setup bro
Is that an LSD? Cause the RWD is an open diff….
In one of the burnouts the locker wasn’t engaged. After I engaged the locker it’s all locked up.
@@Dagrootx I get that, but you didn’t really answer my question so it just electronically locks with that button VDC?🤷🏾♂️🤔
Any thoughts on doing the poor man’s air box drilled holes and K&N filter mod?
What do you recommend for easily adding power to the vq40? I’m always looking for new ways to do it for my pathfinder cuz it is not a commonly modified engine
Tuning is by far the best bet. You can squeeze a solid 20-30 horse with a hood tube.
@@Dagrootx what’s the price range on an uprev tune for the vq40?
@@PYROtheNomad prob around 3-4 hundred
@@Dagrootx that is way cheaper than I thought. That seems like a much better value than getting a bully dog or a superchips
Happy new Year Danny!! and Family!!
That's crazy! Good luck this year!
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing! Have you been leaving the cap on or off?
