Hello All, am new to the forum and new to the Diesel 4x4 scene and really need some help! I just recently bought a Nissan 2001 model ZD30 manual, African Spec with 110,000kms on it approx 12 months ago. An absolutely fantastic car with amazing off road capabilities. The previous owner just changed the turbo 5000kms ago, for what reason I dont know, however i am having some trouble with the car lately. The maf sensor has blown twice in an year, the intercooler always has oil in it, so i clean it every ,month which is every 1000kms. I blocked off the eg. Another issue is that when driving around normally in town its fine, the moment I go off road or on a long safari, the car suffers, loss of power, feels very sluggish, turbo kicks in very late, very little boost and at a constant speed of 140kph the tempreture shoots up. What could be the issue or issues? Is the engine weak? Faulty sensors? I am also looking to upgrade in terms of more power buy getting a bigger intercooler etc, need help with what to go for and what to upgrade. Any helpwould be highly appeciated. I only use Millers nanotech oil. Thank you all very much!
