G'day all
Previously I had a Nissan patrol 4 years ago .... ZD30 ..... 2000 ..... Ex BHP truck .... yea I know ... F@$ked up you say?
Not really, had a few glitches of course, but got it very cheap and managed to fix it up myself and had lots of fun, until tough times came and I had to get rid of my lovely truck & bike (Ducati Monster S2R) back in 2009's GFC so I love speed, read carefully, I said speed not "speeding" the fast acceleration from standing still to whatever speed limit is. with all my turbos, V8's & Fast bikes, 18 years of licence and only 1 speed fine ..... on my wife's barina .... don't even know how to explain that 78 on the 60k zone .... :1087:
any ways' got rid of the toys and got myself a XR8 BA, beautiful, love the ride can't have enough of that V8 note, but know, got a GSXR1100, full customised, and I did all the work so I m not letting this one go easy, so 2 very fast vehicles is a bit of a waste, and I miss all the 4wding fun.
wich brings me to the point. see you XR8 and welcome Nissan Patrol :clapping:
here are the questions now:
looking to get a 2007 onwards Patrol ZD30 common rail engine, are they better and easier to live then the old direct injected ?
Variable vane turbo, still on the Common rail ? does it work better now ?
any other known problems ( apart from the dash bubbling ) ?
Option 2 is a 2000 GU 4.2 non turbo, how do they go? any issues ? overheating ?
if anyone interested the BA still for sale
