OK you guys, everyone's been on here giving us Nissan owners a hard time, and I don't expect anything less, but could someone tell me, If the 3.0 turbo patrols keep blowing up, what is it that causes this ?

I remember when the early 80 series 4.2 turbo diesels had a bad rep, but it was only a matter of dropping the sump and replacing the shells (bearings) on the crankshaft to avoid the problem. Toyota were gracious enough to recognise the problem, and it would be nice if Nissan started to be a little bit better in the public relations dept.

Can some one who's had a 3.0 T/D patrol go KABANG, tell me what part of the engine gives out, so we others can look at the possibilty of rectifying the problem before it becomes a dasaster.

Don't tell me to sell it, or burn it, just pro-active information please.

On an earlier thread, someone mentioned a government owned 3.0 patrol going bang, and other people stated that it had probably been given a thrashing without being warmed up, and this does make sense. I have heard of this happening at Western Power here in W.A.

Come on people, lets get some facts together and see if there is a common denominator.

Cheers,

Muzz
