I have read in this forum and others about the ZD30 Grenade problem. Now I have a 2001 (although built in OCT 2000) GU with the ZD30. It has over 300,000 K's on it. I have only had it for 3 months and average about 1000k's per month.
Should I be worried? Or has the time bomb failed to go off (so to speak).
Good question really. I am much in the same boat. Mine has done 200,000km's. I have read the preventative mods document but am still unsure. Although I know the MAF sensor is the issue, how do you know if it has been changed or not. I was thinking I would do the three main preventative options of a Snorkle, Turbo timer, and I guess change out the MAF sensor just in case...still a little unsure though. And confused.
I have a snorkel, but don't know if any of the other mods (as per reference document) have been done. Being ex-nsw police vehicle I doubt if the egr has been blocked (don't think it's legal.
Time to block the EGR, fit a catch can, egt gauge, boost gauge, clean the MAF, clean the inlet manifold, do away with the butterfly, run it on 200 to one two stroke and hope for the best!!Originally Posted by the godfather
SORRY. but it's not too late. This is part of the NADS required to preserve your ZD30 and help prevent it from GRENADING!!

I suggest you do the full NADS at your earliest oportunity.
I'd be doing the full NADs, ASAP. Also spend some more time researching on how to preserve your ZD30, 300.000 clicks is a lot for that motor and I would be very surprised if it hadn't been re-built.
Most blow number 3 piston by 200.000ks.

Easy to check, pull the EGR off and have a gander, yer only gunna use it offroad anyway, so what's the diff. wink wink.
NISSAN anti detonation system.
Aaaah! I should have picked that up. Bit tired, brains in dumb arse mode.
