 SUSPENSION UPGRADES
Just purchased new TI C-Trail and was wondering if anyone had fitted suspension upgrades to their X-Trails?
Cheers

Re: SUSPENSION UPGRADES
If Nissan Australia would only see the chrome modifcation on my car! Oops, I better block nissan australian from being able to access my web site.
Were they at least prepared to look at the engineering designs, tests..etc before rejecting the idea?

Have had a discussion with Nissan Australia earlier today and they have advised that they cannot approve any modifications to the Xtrail Suspension or other components and we do so ant own risk.
Agre that is probably true
but

Modifications can void warranty on Vehicle regardless a which part fails if any.
I actually thought that to void a warranty the modification would have to be the cause for the failure or claim.
Putting a new seat in doesnt mean your engine is no longer covered.
Upgrading suspension, or raising it can affect otherthings like cv's and the like, but not void an entire warranty. I mean look at how many new patrols ect have mods and still get warranty work done.
I think you have been given the wrong advise and probably by the wrong person, who shouldnt make such claims.
I just found this example. Its not nissan by subi australia

Questions Answers
How will modifications affect my warranty? If you have a concern that can be attributed to a modification, then that concern will not be warranted as it is no longer a result of manufacturing defect. Therefore, to answer your question the total vehicle warranty is not void, but be aware changes in some system may effect others systems adversely.

So while I am not saying that a change of suspension height will be ok, I know TJM were trying to do a lift as well - not sure if they finished it or abandoned it - may be worth checking
I just think that you have been given the wrong advice
There is a bit more here

Doesnt help find the right person though, but maybe worth checking your actual warranty booklook.
