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?

I did hear the same thing Plassy but was skeptical of the statement as well.Originally Posted by Plasnart
I'd be floored if Mr Nissan re-released the TD42TI, even in a 45 or 48, I just can't see it happening but IMO it would be the single best decision they'd made in years & im tipping would see sale go through the roof as well.

i dont think you will see the 4.2 back again because of the emmision issues the next new model is a petrol v8
but it would be nice to have a 4.2 if you could afford them

It don't bother me if they don't bring it back I already have one ;-) LOL I heard that they still make them in other country's.. But for them to use the excuse that they don't pass euro emissions is a load of crap!!! Toyota Seem to have no problems with they're turbo 6s and V8s.. Its simply a money thing and that's it..

GU ST-L 4.2 turbo diesel Because reliability counts!!!!!
Front Elocker and a Heep more cool stuff :-)
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!!
Bring it on, Nissan have dropped the ball on this one and allowed Toyota to grab a Dominant Market share beyond their worth.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up
The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

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..
