Re:
Hi Scott,
We have previously discussed the '07+ Sentra Spec V QR25DE engine in THIS thread and just by looking at the photos of the Sentra engine compared to the T31 one, it seems that the layout and components are identical, which also means that the throttle body spacer for the Sentra and other performance components might fit the petrol T31 exy.
Someone has to take the first step to try it out, like we previously have done with the T30 throttle body spacer and later found-out it fits and works.
This could be your first challenge when you get an xtrail.

Re:
You should be researching mods that won't stuff up your new car warranty
You seem to be researching mods more than looking for the car itself. hahahaha

Re:
Scott,
What's the point of re-inventing the wheel when there is already an existing '07+ Sentra Spec V spacer available for you to try when you get your car? I don't see a point in asking anyone to re-manufacture it when it is already there and available to test? The cost of it is not that high either to use as a trial. It will cost you far greater in shipping a TB than buying an existing Sentra spacer and trying it out.
Congrats on the newborns mate!

Re:
Well mate, had you researched and read the T30 throttle body spacer you would have realized that it does have the swirl effect bore, that is the whole point of the spacer in the first place and it works perfectly fine in the T30.
I find it strange that you're buying parts and modifying them before actually buying the car itself. Since the manufacturer is so interested in copying other existing designs, maybe he should look at the Sentra throttle body (in the US) and the existing spacer (in the US) that is available to make a decision if this venture will be worth it.

Re: T31 Throttle Body Spacer
I guess it does sound strange. But, I live in an area where many items are unavailable. So, while I'm in the States, I try to pick up things to keep me busy while I am on my days off from working offshore.
I sincerely plan to purchase a used X-Trail T31. I hope it doesn't offend anyone that I am asking about these mods in advance of my actual purchase.
The P2R 3/4" spacer which is available now for the T31 has a smooth bore, I believe. That's why I am kind of leary about trying it, as I read somewhere maybe in the Nissan Forums about how it was better to keep the fuel vaporized or something like that.
Anyways, if anybody knows the actual Nissan parts number for the throttle body, I sure would appreciate it. I found one for a 2008 Altima sedan 2.5L for $72. and $15 shipping at a used parts warehouse in Houston.
Again, I am glad to be able to participate in this and other forums to learn more about engines, suspensions, etc.
