There is a very active X-Trail forum area in the Motor Trader Malaysia Forum located at http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=115

Someone there should know the answer to your query.

Hi there,

Extremely happy 2005 X-Trail 2.5 owner here. Bought it new, third Nissan in the household, very satisfied

Pros: When I was shopping around back in 2005, the X-Trail was clearly a winner when it came to seating space + cargo capacity over all the local japanese rivals for that price. It was also the most powerful, and to me, the best looking.

Cons: Apart from the center-mounted speedometer :hmpf:, the only other complaint is the engine vibration that I get when the car is stationary with the gear lever in "D" and the A/C on. Yet when it is running, the engine is very smooth and barely audible. Anyone else with this problem? I've had this issue since new, but service technicians kept telling me that its normal, and I never had the time to double-check with another X-Trail.

But all-in-all, great car!

it's not natural jdmr31. Nothing should be vibrating so bad till it bugs you. It should be quiet. Am a 2004 owner since new till now. Never have that problem you mentioned on vibration.

haaa yes, i never had that probs.. may be smthing wrong with ur foundation.. may guess only..

psyche07 and ned22am, thanks for your replies :)

Just curious, which model do you guys have, the 2.0 or the 2.5?

 

[psyche07]

Mine is a 2.5. Maybe it's your mounting or something?

Hmmm ... Great to hear some X-trail owners here ... I am actually considering seriously of getting a near new (either 06, 07 or 08) 2.5. Since you guys probably know more about it than I barely could google much info about it, care to tell what year exactly is the new facelift for the 2.5? I have seen some late '07 (2.5) model, the interior is different on the chilled can storage. By the way, the one's with the spot-lights built within the roof-rack is super cool.

Sorry for dumb questions.

Eyong
just get 2.0 and swap everything with Xtrail GT

by the way.. the Xtrail GT Halfcut cost RM13k to 15k complete front and back

 

[eyong]

Oh ... I get you now ... uses the SR20DET engine ... That could be quite potent. Not sure if I am up for all the mods (and another full-cut - been trying to get rid of my other half-cut for ages now and it had taked an entire room full of car junks) again since dealing with my own's RB26 is a handful enough ... Hahaha ...

And in fact, planning to keep it quite stock, apart from the 34-GTR rim I have spare, e-manage and maybe bits and pieces ... The suv is meant for the missy instead ...

 

[cmng]

Eyong
it not SR20DET but SR20VET

280whp on a puny GT2560 turbo
imagine it on a GT30 Turbo.. it kick many car ass

 

[eyong]

Hahaha ... You are probably right. Yeah, would be a sight to see when a "regular" looking suv kicked some serious arses ... Hahaha


Anyway, am still looking for some info on the x-trail ...

http://www.nissan.com.my my friend. Feel free to post more questions if you still cannot find the info that you want, and I'm sure most of the X-Trail owners here would be pleased to answer them :)
