is there any chance of nissan bringing back the 4.2TD, my understanding is that it disapreaed due to emmissions regulations, surely they could find another way around that, do nissan make a 4.2TD for other markets?

Wouldn't that be sweet a leaner, greener, meaner crdtd42t be brutal
that would be blooming marvelarse, as long as they brount it back in a live axle version and not that IFS thing!!!!!Quote:

I agree, Toyota has run a CRD 4.2 TD for 7 or 8 years and have no trouble selling them. Their latest V8 twin turbo is very sought after. I cant believe that Nissan have not put a new head and fuel system on the TD42 block, cant be that hard Surely!!Quote:

Seeing that Toyota would be Nissan's main competitor for the Patrol, you would think Nissan would offer engine options to match if not raise the bar and put Toyota on the back foot.
Not comparing vehicles but if Nissan can build a winner every-time they design cars such as each each GT-R model you would hope they aim for the same dominating success for other models such as the Patrol.
Nissan still sell TD42 Patrols in countries like New Guinea, Africa, Russia, etc..
