Negative. It is cast aluminum on all modern Nissans(from what I've seen).

Easy check to tell if something is aluminum or iron is to get a magnet. The magnet will stick to iron, not to aluminum.

^ i was gonna perform that check, but it's too hot outside and I'm lazy...

another dead giveaway is the lack of rust...

so for sure it's al.?

It's cast aluminum, so it has that rough look to it, but it is aluminum.
