Re:
According to the ACCC, it seems the recalls must remain active for at least 5 years from the date of the announcement, as such this recall was closed on the 26th August 2010 and Nissan Australia have no further obligation to fix this fault under this recall.

Re:
If your VIN within the affected range you can contact Nissan Australia and they would have a record of when the recall service was carried out on your vehicle and they will also be able to tell you if it hasn't been done at all.

Re:
Hi Ben,
The manifold and the primary cat converter design remained the same for all T30 models, except from 2006 the T30 models started to have the secondary cat converter under the car.
You best and safest bet is to upgrade the headers and have an inline stainless steel cat fitted, that way you won't have to worry about this issue ever again. I would strongly advise against getting the manifold and ceramic cat converter 2nd hand, as you could potentially face this issue all over again.

If you get a hi flow cat you will get a few more horses out of the old girl.

Re: Recall Catalytic Converter & O2 Sensor Breakage
Have been quoted $320 installed and fitted for an SS hiflow cat. Sounds pretty good. Just gotta sort out the cat in the manifold.
Rebuild is taking a little longer, head is still in the shop and probably ready tomorrow, had to come back to Sydney for work, aiming to get down and get it back together in the back half of this week. Good news is no crack or warps in the head assembly or cams, exhaust valves and seats were screwed though so all need to be replaced, thankfully shop has them for $12 each so $100 for the set!
Get an aftermarket Ajusa head gasket from the engine shop as part of the VRS set (so have to ebay the nissan one) which is supposedly super strong, guys are running big boost on the Ajusa HG with no issues so should be good for my humble Exy...
Going to do water pump, both thermostats, cam+crank sensor, chain tensioner, ARP head bolts I think they are getting me ($50 a set), refill with full synth oil after flushing out the system with some cheap oil, Nissan genuine coolant only from now on. Looks like about $2,200 worth of work all up, hate to think what it'd cost me at a mechanic for all the labour!

. So I have two options: a manifold with an intact catalyst from a wrecker, and may run into the issue again anyway, or an aftermarket exhaust. Does anyone know if the manifold design was changed in later revisions of the X-trail, I may get lucky and get a later one from a wrecker.
