Re: XTrail Air Filter
Great stuff John. You're now part of the K&N family
Don't expect to see a sudden change in performance just yet, the ECU needs to adjust itself to the new airflow settings and this would take about 2-3 days.
Give it a good test run on the highway after that.

I also have switched to 95 oct. fuel
I'd seek out 98 octane - Shell Optimax, or the BP 98, (or some Caltex Vortex with special banners. I think you'll find it justifies the extra (probably 10 dearer than standard unleaded whilst 95 octane is about 7c around here). Once the ecu adjusts I reckon the extra fuel economy outweighs the cost.

Re: XTrail Air Filter
Hi MaxiExy,
CAI is on my very near future "Mods to be done"
I have done quite a bit of research on this for our exy and found a couple of very good brands that would fit the exy perfectly
I mentioned one of them on page 7 of this thread, you can find it HERE
The other good brand (which is a bit more expensive) is AEM cold air intake and if you decide to buy it, you gonna need to order the one for Nissan Sentra SpecV (which has exactly the same engine as ours)
You can get the CAI in all sorts of colours (yes, chrome as well)
The only thing that is stopping from me getting right away is the location of it (too low in the mudguard) as you will see on the same page or the next (page 8 I think)
So, for me to get it, I would have to order the By-Pass valve as well (to be on the safe side when going off-road or in heavy rain)
The feedback I've been getting who have done the CAI mod is excellent, in terms of power boost as well as that sexy and powerful roar.
Hope that helps
