Hi guys I'm new to this forum I'm a 97 4.2 diesel GQ coil cab owner (N/A motor with after market turbo and intercooler) and I've had her bout 7 years now and she hasn't given me any trouble at all that is until recently when I lent her to my cousin who managed to cook it within an hour of driving off with it! So I'm up for a large repair bill 8-10 grand I'm told by my mechanic for a rebuild or a good second hand low K unit out of a later GU Turbo intercooled model for 5 grand? I'd go the second option but when I rang nissan Australia and gave them the engine number (TD42-162782) just to make sure it is what he says it is it does not appear on their data base and am told it's not an australian delivered engine and must be an overseas import so now I'm not sure? I'm led to believe GU turbo diesels have engine numbers ending with a letter? Does any one know how to track down its origin if it is an overseas imported engine and determine what specification it's built to?
