Ok Dean - look one thing I would say above all else is take the problem seriously , don't muck around , that car of that year is probably the most prone of all 4wd wagons to engine fail.
About that time the reports became overwhleming and Nissans first reponse was to give owners a dip stick with the oil level marked up higher so that the crank would take more oil (more splash on pistons).
From there it went downhill and today if you search around you will find much information under the heading "Anti grenading".
Its a very stressed engine with a complex control system that works really
well when it works but a number of issues can cause ECU to get false info and over boost in an expensive flash.
Get it and the points others have raised here a
check out and
check all hoses for both leaks and particulate clogging ASAP.
I'd like to leave you with a least one positive comment and so one in our group is lovingly looked after and recently clicked over 500,000km.
