Stretch has asked me to ask people's thoughts about the 2.8 turbo diesel.
He says its a 6 cyl ( I couldn't answer him).
I assume its a real early GU.
How's the performance of them.
Things to be weary of.
Are they better than the early ZD grenades.
Any thought and info would be helpful.
My lappy is down at the moment to search thoroughly.
I tried on the phone but kept saying no matches.

Yes they are a 6 cylinder.
I read people have head issues but again hit and miss like the 3ltrs.
Is it better??? Dunno.
I ready there a top little revy motor but no good for towing.
Cheers

The RD28 is a 6 cylinder Turbo Diesel that Nissan ran in the GQ and early GU and was superseded by the ZD30. It's a good strong engine that will take a modification well.
If he is looking at a GU then he is looking at a late model RD28 at the end of the development life so a good engine.
A little Nader powered as a Tow rig but will handle most things well.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

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.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

They have about 95-105 kW. Apparently really awesome in low range almost unstoppable. And they sound absolutely fantastic with a 3 inch exhaust like a truck
