Hi everyone, just bought a 1992 LWB High Roof manual 4.2 diesel
It's a great machine, I bought it after towing my boat before Christmas with my Isuzu Bighorn (Blew the Bighorn up and needed another vehicle to get away on holiday).
One thing that surprises me reading these forums is the number of people adding turbos to their non-turbo deisel 4.2s. Even though mine has no turbo it still has heaps of grunt and more than enough to keep me happy. It doesn't have the fast acceleration that the Bighorn had (turbo 3.1L) but it's not far away. My father-in-law has a VX Landcruiser 4.2 turbo diesel and my Nissan will hold it off (although his has done 500k and mine's only at 150k)
One thing I need to sort out is getting some flared guards as it's running 32 x 11.5 tyres on off set rims and the tyres are 75mm wider than the body at present.
It just feels like a real 4 x 4. Having owned a string of hilux's and teh Bighorn, none of them came close to feeling as solid as this Nissan. I love it!
