Nissan Navara Diesel/Gas News

Thanks for the post Stephen. We run a similar vehicle (Rodeo not Nissan), and,although instant results appear impressive, it's possible that wear in the long term may be accelerated.
Neither GMH nor RACQ admit to having test results on the technology, and hence cannot offer guidance.
What guarantees/ evidence exist that the technology is benign?
Seriously, I'd book in next week if I felt that future reliability was secure.

Hey it sounds awsome!! I have my Patrol booked in Perth, 6 month waiting list...I'll be in around febuary. I am still wondering what is better for power, diesel/gas or Dtronic? I would guess that both would add extra stress to the engine but then look at the figures the smaller 2.5 Pathfinder pulls out!!and im sure they didnt go about putting in extra strengthend pistons,valves,etc. 20-30% extra power wont kill it. Especially if ya just keep driving normal is just means less squeeze of the right foot to get the same result ...but if ya need the extra oomph when in trouble, its there if ya need it. Im leaning towards the Gas instead of Dtronic 1. Same power and torque.2.cleaner engine/oil.3.less emmisssions.4.greater mileage.5.$3000 gov rebates (WA) so cost about $1000
I emailed the guys at Safari to see if I could still fit a Dtronic after gettin gthe gas system ...Mmmmm40% extra power and torque!!!!! But they advised the Dronic is not compatible with the gas system....= (....still i would like to see them do one and put it on the dyno to see the results...
Anyhow i look forward to osme discussion bout this.

Stephen,

I'm interested in putting gas injection on my "Chevissan". I've emailed DieselGas twice about having this done. So far, they haven't had the decency to even reply.

Prolly to hard for 'em as due the engine make.

Stephen, I've actually visited that site previously, and when I enquired, was given the contact details for the Brisbane agents, who, in turn, were polite and prompt in their response. Unfortunately OE blocked the attachment Brisbane posted, and I've let the idea slide, having wiped their mail this very afternoon.
(Btw, I was quoted $4000 and 6 weeks waiting).

Three points leave me wondering:
(1) Your Navara is 2002 model? Why does Nissan give a toss about a 3 year warranty now?
(2)You were exhausting black smoke prior to conversion: what caused that?
(3)I didn't see any stated guarantee in the link as to maintained or extended engine longevity following conversion. Implications don't count.

Mate,I hope the above doesn't come across as aggressive, because that's not the intent. Our old 2.8L Rodeo averaged 8.7 L/100km over 280000km: current job is lucky to score 10.5, with pretty conservative driving. With an anticipated life of 5-600000km, I'd LOVE to reduce fuel use by 20%.
(And yes, I'll watch gas/diesel progress with interest, and, probably, envy. JH.

Stephen........have my 2002 Navara booked in for conversion in Perth......won't be till new year.........however great to hear how successful you've found it.
1 question.......have you blocked of EGR VALVE...or any opinion on doing so
