Hey all, I'm usually a toyota guy, but I found an LD28 I6 diesel, non turbo, and I know I've heard of these going into pathfinders before. there is one on ebay with one right now. or there was anyway.
questions...
does this motor need a diesel bell housing or will it bolt to a gasser 5 speed from a pathfinder or hardbody pick up?
are the motor mounts the same as the pathfinder motors?
i heard the oil pan doesn't clear the 4x4 front dif. will it clear with an SAS?
is there a way to modify the oil pan??
thanks!!

LD28 diesel in pathfinder or pick up?
Never heard of a LD28 being put into a Pathfinder before.
Seen American's put them in 240Z, 260Z, 280Z's.
Australia never really got that motor, europe got plenty of them.
I know in America the Nissan Maxima got em.
Check out some European sites aswell.
Good luck.

2006 STR Navara with lots of goodies, just need a V6 front diff and a locker.
The RB series engine is based off the L series engine.
The RD28 would be built off the LD28 aswell. They are some simularities but they are different. Bolting pattern would be close, the RB and L series bolt pattern are as close.
The KA24 and Z24 are designed off the L series aswell. A KA24 head will bolt on a L20B and Z24, one oil line doesn't line up though.

Why would one want to put the LD28 slug into a D21 ??
It's a heavy boat anchor with no power at all and won't even fit into the D21 engine bay lengthwise. The LD28 is a straight six while the D21 engine bay is designed to house a inline 4 or a V6. The oil pan would the least of your problems. You would need to hack the firewall, hack the radiator support and mount radiator in the rear of vehicle. Than build a transmission adaptor to mate the slug to the D21 tranny etc.
All this to end up with less power & torque than the stock TD27 in the D21
There are millions of better engine choices out there to fit into the D21

well the reason for the ld28 is I found one that is very affordable. I want to try and use it as I'm dying to get a diesel.
the ld and the rd are the same length, right? so the ld could fit in a pathfinder though, but it's a dog of a motor, eh?
What other options are there for a D21 though? What would you guys recommend and where to find?
