Calling advise?? New zd30 create motor or td42t conversion

[threedogs]

A chip has nothing to do with it, DP give new car warranty.
they just don't want to pay out, ask them if they would like their name mentioned
on this forum? I'm sure their attitude would change, You have rights in the eyes of the law
use them too their fullest.
Mine is chipped and done 195,000K no problems ever

Dont assume your old injector pump is set correctly.
My father inlaw had 1 reconditioned only because of the old suphur leak problem, reinstalled it and it destroyed the motor.
( it was a toyo so that don't matter Hay!)

If the motor was fiddled with prior to you getting it, and it sound like it may of been "chipped etc", you have alot of home-work to do to prove it's their fault.
Don't like sounding doom and gloom just trying to think what may need looking at first.
Hope it works out for you.

Crate Motor for sure, if its a CRD then your on a winner for that price just make sure your pump is compatible? I have No Idea about that??

THe TD42 is very nice mate but you have a ZD30 car and engine mounts and rego and stuff. And you can do the motor swap yourself. A new motor will design out the problem and your on your way. Happy.

In terms of the Turbo??? I'd have a bloody good think about a Better Turbo to bolt to it rather than fix the junker one mate. A Nice Garret would be sweet. pm NissanNewby for some advice on this.

Yeah it's a hard one to get around, especially since the work was done in Sydney and I'm up at Byron bay! So im just not going to chase them up, put it in the too hard basket! The crate motor seems to be the go, and a new turbo also I already have 3" system and full nads too! Should I send the injector pump off to get checked out? Anyone know what model garret turbo will suit the zd30? Thanks for the help guys great forum

I would keep an eye out for a cheap rusty GQ 4.2 with a decent engine and use it as a donor vehicle. The hardeset bit is getting the engine mounts cut off the GQ chassis and welded onto the GU. You can use the bellhousing off the GQ on your GU box and the GQ exhaust will bolt straight onto GU. Obviously this is with no turbo but they are cheap on ebay.
You can buy a new wiring harness off ebay from a guy in Nambour i think for around $600 so the TD42 will plug straight into the ZD30 harness and everything will work as factory.
Much better investment I think...

I bought it off a guy that had the work done? He had all receipts for the work, and I called them up and checked it was legit, it was done in Sydney and I'm in Byron bay, they said 12 months or 20,000k warranty.. Well it was 13 months and like 23,000ks so not covered! And it would cost to much to get the car back to Sydney! I'm not sure weather to get new create zd30 which would be $6000 and replace turbo for $1400 my injector pump has been recondition when engine was rebuilt 23,000ks ago! I'm not sure weather to trust the zd30 again! Should I spend the extra on 4.2? So much extra work though? Has anyone bought a new create motor from nissan, should it last this time

I be checking with consumer affairs, this is not good enough.
