I heard the Nissan X-Trail GT comes with an SR20VET with variable valve lift as well as timing. I don’t know if this was in North America too or only in Japan though :? ---

And I highly doubt they have it in Mexico. Therefore it’s not North American. Ours has the QR25DE ---

I got SR20VET on some link. The V is supposed to indicate that it has variable valve lift, as well as timing. The SR20DET has only variable valve timing. The new engine is supposedly made in 2001+ for the X-Trail GT only, and in Japan only i guess. When I find that link again I’ll let you know. ---

thats great… the SR20VET is sold only in the X-trail with 276 hp in japan because japan had the Xtrea and they wanted a more sporty version of it. Here the Xtrail has the QR25DE like axlerod said. so no there is no SR20DET or variation of SR20DET in north america. ---

Autobacs made a sort of production car using the SR20VET, I don’t think it’s X-Trail only.
