Nissan Xterra with a VK56 V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

This 2008 Nissan Xterra is powered by a 5.6 L VK56DE V8 featuring JBA shorty headers and modified Z1 Off-Road exhaust. Behind the V8 is a C3 Performance Adapters transmission adapter connected to a six-speed manual transmission. A Magna TX91A two-speed transfer case sends power to Nissan Titan axles using an AAM 8.25-inch front center section and a 9.5-inch rear center section. Both axles have 3.92 ratios. The Xterra uses a Nissan Titan front suspension featuring Z1 Off-Road X-Pro TSG (Titan Swap Geometry) front coilovers, Z1 Off-Road forged upper control arms, and Haiku lower control arms. The rear suspension uses X-Pro rear shocks, Z1 Off-Road medium-duty leaf springs, and Z1 Off-Road adjustable rear shackles. Braking is handled by a Paragon Performance and Concept Z Performance big brake kit featuring six-piston calipers and two-piece rotors. The most striking modification is probably the 2025 Nissan Frontier front clip and Citrus Strike paint. A set of NISMO Axis 17×8.5-inch (+20mm offset) beadlock wheels wearing Hankook Dynapro MT2 35×12.5-inch tires tires completes the unique look.
