Wouldn't it need to be the same age or younger than the vehicle itself ruling out tD42's that were originally fitter to GQ's?

Interesting, this same question was just posted in another thread, I understood that the engine had to have been installed in the car, ie. the TD was stopped in 2006 as the ADRs eliminated them for pluton compliance, I understood that a TD could be fitted upto a 2006 but not beyond.Quote:

I will ask the question for you mate and see about a price from him for supply only.
This is exactly what I was told when I began inquiring around for a 4.2 conversion. Which pretty much meant I hit a brick wall, with my GU.Quote:

Thats my understanding of those rules.
I am also under the impression that cars the were opted with a motor, ie td42t you can change it from zd, rd, tb to the td without needing and engineers cert.
Man that sucks :(. What about a rebuilt ZD30 with full NADS done at the time of the motor install. Might be cheaper alternative than a conversion, as long as that keeps the grenade pin in for the rest of it's life.
well, its been a while since i looked at this thread, but i have GREAT news. Got a text off MudrunnerTD this morning saying he had found a ZD30 motor for $600. Turns out its 15 minutes from my place, i know of the bloke, and got his number off a mate gave him a call and hes going to deliver it later today. i dont wanna get ahead of myself but i could even be driving down to the october meetup!!!
Dazz, if you werent already taken mate i would make you my wife right here and now! absolute legend.
Thats great news Nic. Hope it all goes well
that's awesome mate. what year zd? didn't really matter if it lasts a few years and goes again. gives you time to save for a td if that's the route you want to take eventually.
awesome news. I'm sure BA will get over jealous if you made darren your wife though haha.
Pretty well what i said too Mat. he was quoted $4k for a ZD30 so this is a Bargain. If it lasts a Year at least he is driving the car. Let it blow and then go the TD42 with the money he saves. At least he is driving. Win! Cheap! Running.Quote:

Great news Nic, might not be a TD but at least a cheap way of getting it back on the road.
Is the car still at your or did you end up taking it 2 your dads?
