They are better suited for a stock vehicle off road.
the pole should have these in it 2:

-SD33 / SD33T
-TD42

then i would vote :armsup:

Bogged,

pick any one you think it's best suited for you there's no stopping you from expressing your opnions

Yeah, could be interesting, must be a suitable manual.........

Also, why not have a VH45DE on the list as technically there isn't a VH45DETT........ (except for one sick bastard!!!)..... :twisted:

there would be a lot of cool useful shit on the nissan titan. nealry all nissan stuff interchanges, so there could be some good engine, transmission, axle, brake solutions there..

The reason I asked is they would all be different.

Desert touring where you need economy you would go diesel. Probably TD42T, or depending on budget the Navistar 7.3 (I think)Turbo..

If it was a short course comp car where neddies are all important, but distance isnt, then go another V8 probably similar to Kyles (have u sold that thing yet dude?) VH45DE...

All suit different applications. etc etc

Nothing wrong with the old TB42, though I wouldn't say no to a 4.5 or a supercharger

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2004 4:23 pm**

interesting nobody has voted for the 4.8 yet, considering one magazine quoted 54ltrs to 100klms in softsand in a test they did, it would be shitful for offroad work!!! Then again I dont believe them figures.

also no votes for the 5.6, would be interesting, but again thirsty as shit...

Hey guys

Nissan VK56DE comes in either 5-speed automatic (column and floor shift).

I think this engine is proven its points bec the truck is Nissan Titan, already won couple of awards according to Nissan USA, "2004 Pickup Truck of the Year" - Four Wheeler Magazine and "2004 Tow Vehicle of the Year" - Trailer Boats Magazine it has topped Ford F-150 and Chevrolet 1500. Not bad for a truck that has just relased late 2003... it could tow 9,500 Lbs pretty good for a Nissan Truck

Nissan has done its research, benchmarking favored pickups and edging the bar higher for its Titan. The Titan boasts best in class headroom; best in class torque; best in class interior volume (for the Crew Cab); best 4x4 ground clearance; best 4x4 approach angle; largest in class 4x4 tires. Titan can tow up to 9,500 pounds, putting it at the top of the class alongside the new Ford F-150.

Fuel Economy... For this engine this size... could be interesting...

EPA city driving: 15 mpg
EPA highway driving: 19 mpg
C/D-observed: 15 mpg

*I don't know how it muchs in Litres/100Km so, there youse go...
