Nuthin is ever the same once I own it !!
Whatever they throw at us will be direct injection. I'd be happy with a proven engine like they have in their highway rigs: http://www.udtrucks.com/product/lightguts.htm. Bling - high HP - engines which aren't dependable are pretty much useless if not dangerous for many of us. That is why we all loved the TD 4.2: bloody slow but also bloody dependable.
Yes and all the complications like high tech fuel pumps in the tank which cost the earth and injectors which cost as much as a twin carb. Then the electronics............stop! I`M SOUNDING OLD
TD 42 is like a simple Landrover engine .........only better built and oil tight. I don`t see as Nissan need to compete directly with Toyota. Patrol is usually half the price of Landcruiser unless that changes.

i do hope nissan never compete with toyota, i like the old td42 as it it a proven workhorse,nissan has taken a step backwards with the 3.0 td and the only option now that is any good is the thirsty 4.8Clarkie wrote:Toyota have the new 200 cruiser due out soon,Twin hair dryers on v8 diesel 650nm @ 1600rpm and a bit over 200Kw
nissan well need to pull out a good one to compete...

THE GRASS MAY BE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT YOU STILL GOTTA MOW IT.
Yes the ZD30 is the worst motor Nissan ever put out, while the RD28T was underpowered, it still managed to boogy the GU along with its Electronic injection pump and inter cooler, chip it and get a few more KW's out of her. the ZD30 is just too problematic, even without a chip they blow up, so putting a chip into her is just a waste of time.dirtyGQ wrote:i do hope Nissan never compete with Toyota, i like the old td42 as it it a proven workhorse,Nissan has taken a step backwards with the 3.0 td and the only option now that is any good is the thirsty 4.8
I hope that Nissan look at improving on their engines, a 4 cylinder Diesel just don't cut it pushing a GU along, its too heavy, you need a 6 cylinder at least, straight 6 would be better to as its easier to turbo.
TB48 is a good engine despite its fuel hungry nature, its built off the same block as teh TB42, just improved with DOHC and a few tweaks. would love to chi it and see how it goes. Heard a few horror stories about the TB48 and LPG, hope they aren't true, i would like to see Nissan put out a Dual Fuel or Straight Gas version of the TB48, would make it a big seller,
AA's for Quitters
theres a brand new(built 2003) TD42 engine on TM at the moment for just over $10k NZ, not sure if thats a good price or not.its a nonturbo model.
