Oh mate that is Soooo Not a silly question... The question should actually be though => Why have Nissan NOT got a twin Turbo V8 diesel into our market yet to compete with the tojos as theirs have been on the market for nearlly 5 years i think and it is a smashing engine WTF!!!
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I have heard average feedback from the Chev as its a big donk and heavy, dont get me wrong its a killer!
It appears that for diesel, a Duramax conversion is the way to go if your going to pay for the conversion to be done. Big Bucks but 300rwkw and Blissssss.
f your happy to stick with Petrol then an LS1 or LS2 and your kicking butt.
