I believe it's factory one of the 200 odd that snuck in

Nice. We had to get an auto for my wife. Would've loved a TD but all the ones I could find were way too expensive.

I've thought about converting ours but I've got too many projects already.

[QUOTE=ripper;710538]Nice. We had to get an auto for my wife. Would've loved a TD but all the ones I could find were way too expensive.

my mechanic who is also a GQ junkie told his wife Nissan didn't make an auto for the td4.2 , the first time he worked on it his missus seen it and chewed him out he told me not to bring it back unless she was away .
Just reinsured mine at $12 thou but was just looking around and there's one for $17 thou for sale .
Lots of various stories around about the 4.2td auto don't know which if any are correct , seen 200 imports and then 100 imports .
I see what you mean by grey import being second hand imports .

Me too mate :-) Since joining this awesome knowledge base I've learnt numerous ways to keep myself alive too! There's some very knowledgable recovery blokes on here, it's not all nuts & bolts on our beloved Trols. Trips, tricks and all round some good fun can be had too :-) !

That's right MB , although some thought I was mad in what I was trying to do with my auto they still gave me the help I needed and the cautions of what could happen .
