There are no credible/consistent reports of failures of post first series motors. There are big km 3.0tds out there now (doing hard work) with absolutely no worries. A lot of people had their fun knocking the car. No doubt there will still be the knockers even when the nissans have 500 thou on the clock! I forsee this motor now becoming a classic, following the initial problems. Thats how it works sometimes.

Mines a July 2000 build. Just crossed 80K. Had it's service last week.
Absolutely no indication of anything going wrong with anything except usual wear out throw away things.
Have been hearing more and more lately that even out of warranty, Nissan will replace the motor in the GU11. Truckster, don't know what happened with the bloke your talking about. Don't worry about dealers. If they give you a hard time, then go straight to the top of Nissan. They can be screwed.
Bjorn, your spot on mate. This will be a classic motor and why stop at 500K.
Cheers

Is that the guy who said he had done 2 motors and 2 turbo's? There have been so many people with series 2 patrols crying it must be fact not fiction. Wasn't the P-76 called a classic too?

Yeh OK your lookin for a bite so your gettin one, Mines done 80,ks Mines done 120,ks these arent big milage wheres the 400ks and 500 ks, and as for resale there not 5 years old yet? Truckie is right, when, not if, Nissan stop paying take the 18 grand off your resale and see whats left. What a load of CRAP your talkin Bjorn, crawl back in your hole and wait for the next BANG.
