Hey Tony,
Alot of people do the TD42 conversion, its just more finding a complete motor at the right price,
Diesel chip in the zd30 gives some power, but be sure to have NADS fitted.

Chip, exhaust, and NADS and possibly custom intercooler will make it quicker. Mines got decent power now without a load ill be good to see what it's like when we buy a van.

you need to tell us what year your car is but to start a bigger exhaust block the egr and depending on what model you have maybe more stuff but the exhaust and egr will give you sufficient power increase

Tony,
Just installing a 4.2 wont give you more power, and towing 1.2 tonne with the 3 Litre is a doddle.
As others have said, chip and exhaust will give you good driveability gains.
I have had just a chip for years, on the early DI's and that was great, I have had CRD's with and without exhaust done, and they have been great.
Everyone says the combination of both will give you really good gains, but I can't speak from experience ..... yet.

Nissan anti detenation system. Basically a series of mods that help reduce the rate of failure with the 3.0l motor. It includes EGT + Boost gauges, dawes valve catch can and EGR block. If you search here you'll find more than a bit of information.
