I have a Diesel SWB, the turbo is after market, they are out there but hard to find good ones. Paid $7500 for mine with 250K on it and the old guy who owned it put new bearings and head when he got the turbo fitted. He was only running 6psi, said it had to much power. Now I run 20psi no worries.

Ok no worries. So there is definately 100 percent no such thing as a Turbo diesel Factory SWB? Only aftermarket???

Also, what is the newest year model i can get for an SWB diesel?
I know the GQs went to 1997 but did the SWBs go out to that date as well? and did the diesels go out to that date too?

Im really after one thats got all the options etc etc on it and is really straight and good paint and good nick. Would love some lift in it if possible, if not its not a concern.....

Screwy,
There was no Nissan Aust delivered GQ SWB TD42T's. But there are grey imports. Most are fitted with autos. Kiwi's have a heap of them.

Its that or I am just thinking of TD42 Autos and really have a bad memory.

no your correct, there was japanese domestic market swb safaris that had a factory fitted td42 turbo, both in manual and auto. they are available in australia as grey imports, the only major difference is that the electrics are 24v.

ok fair enough all good.

So as far as an SWB Diesel goes. Can anyone answer the question of year models. Did the SWB come out right up to 1997 with all options or did the SWB stop being made before the wagon finished?

Jeff,

according to redbook, 1995 was the last year the swb was offered in the GQ lineup.

Plenty of factory 4.2T Jap imports over here in swb.
I think the shorties went up to 97 in Japan, but the last were the Safari Spirit which were the 2.8T

In Australia they went to late 1994, very early 1995 (never seen a 1995 tho?)

In other countries they went right through and even have GU shorties!
hands and mums dont count!!!

If you're after one with all of the accessories and options, wouldn't you be better off looking at a SWB Maverick???

ill Be honest now that im looking at them alot more and seeing how rare they are i cant afford to be picky.

Id settle for a TB42 on gas duel fuel that has good paint and is straight. lift is fine, would prefer power windows and locks etc....

But would prefer a TD42.....

i think im up shit creek. Worst thing is i have the cash sitting here to buy one right now and cant find one.

It really needs to be NSW so i havent got issues with road worthys and blue slips but i agree with you Bogged.

Most shortys have had a hard life....
Though if i was going to buy a Wagon id get a GU not a GQ.....

If you can get a straight one, its easy to put central locking and power windows in it and worth spending a bit of money on. The TB42's are much cheaper and easy to convert to diesel, you can buy TD 42's for $3500 fully rebuilt. Have a look on EBAY. Heaps of parts for Patrols just type in Nissan Patrol and see what comes up.
Happy hunting Andrew.

Chuck the money into a bank account and sit on it until the right one comes up. If your luck is like mine, you'll rush out and buy something you're not 100% happy with, only to find the PERFECT car come up for sale 2 weeks later.

Be patient young grasshopper....... ;)
