Wouldn't suprise me, assuming the QR isn't too weak.

Right, but if NISMO gets the supercharger kit for the SE-R built, what
would keep them from migrating to a QR25DER on production X-Trails?

Right; another excellent point.  P11s in the US are lucky; all of ours
have SR20DEs now.  We could have a P11 with the QG18DE, which non-US
models had before we had B15s with same.  *That's* underpowered!

I sincerely doubt that a Sunny will ever have a QR unless they bring
back AWD and intake comrpessors, too.  I do forget about non-US Nissans;
I apologize.  The Silvia probably will keep an SR motor for a while, to
be sure.
