Mate that is a new one on me. Nissan are not likely to do it as it is a requirement for emission control standards that Nissan have to comply with.
Then again, if you've had trouble with the EGR, blocking the pipe ends the problem. Maybe a service guy just slipped it in to resolve the problem once and for all?

Being pressed metal, it may be factory. Just remember, the autos have a DPF. Not saying it is, but possible.
As a comparison, in the 80's a run of 5.0l VK Brock Commodores had no egr and it applied to Manuals only. Unsure of the reason, but this may be similar.

My auto has both. The DPF removes the black soot and the EGR prevents NOx (the CAT removes NOx).
if the bloke that did the chip didnt fit it i wont ask the dealer incase of the trouble it may cause.the dealer i bought the car of was usles so i took it to another dealer ,they could not find any fault but replaced some fuel censer in some hope it might of been that.it wasnt but at least he did somthing .last week it went into limp mode and i could not reset it the dealer fixed the dpf and i hope it has fixed it .i sold my patrol for the d40 and have spent a fair bit of money putting lift;long rang tank; winch tray .ect been interstate 2 times in it one simpson crossing one time to qld and the engine light has come on both times so i havent lost confidence in the car yet but if this keeps going on the patrol will back. cheers warren
you sure its a plate and not just a gasket ?
if its a blocking plate, probably nissan fitted it to diagnose the faults. its an easy way to work out egr related problems.
