i was driving past the ontario mills mall in socal, and saw this wierd looking nissan. no real importance or anything, but figured i'd post up pics, just cuz i took 'em. check it out. i think its from another country or something, cuz the plates looked different, and it had some state/country i couldnt even pronounce on it

Looks like a plate from Mexico I saw a black one a few weeks ago at a Wal-Mart Parking lot at first I thought it was a CR-V because of the size and it was an SUV but I was like wait a minute that was a nissan emblem on the front and the grill isn't very honda like. So I checked it out wondering how to pull the motor out and get the engine and drivetrain out without anyone noticing no such luck though.

and you know this! that's all I was thinking about when I saw it jack the motor and the awd drivetrain spend mad cash getting it to work in a B14

what I have been trying to figure out is the dimensions of the engines in the GT type or Spec R type X-Trails, as they still use the sr20vet engines. (in Japan) I want one of those in my N15 Pulsar! (if it'll fit.... even if I have to "bend" the firewall.. hehe)

Yep that's an X-trail alright. Saw one in Tucson a couple yrs back. I must have seen the previous model b/c this one does look more like a CRV... whereas the one I caught a peek at looked more like a Toyota Highlander. Anywhays, as others have stated, I don't believe the VET made its way into Mexico, so it must be a QR motor.

Yep,Thats the Nissan X-Trail..its also available in the Phil.Islands...my dads gonna buy a silver one coz my mom just bought herself a CR-V.Now,All i have to do is convince him to swap engines with my exalta

niky · Aug 25th, 2003, 12:20 PM

haha... good luck!!! that would be about as hard as the NX2000 conversion!

the X-Trails on the International Market (OUTside japan) sadly only have the QR25DE (no DET).... but they are still frigging' awesome... deformable quarterpanels that look just like metal pieces.... skyline suspension... great road-holding and acceleration....

now if they only came in manual... am trying to convince my mom to get one... so i don't have to share my Exalta anymore...

... we'll just share HER car.

The X-Trail isn't seen much here in the U.S. It's produced in Europe, and is very similar to our Xterra, we make here in Smyrna. From what I have heard, it's the most sold SUV in England, and other parts of Europe and the Middle East.
