gday paul
yea i have inquired about the 4.2 td a coupla times and each time the nissan sales guys do push you in the direction of the 3.0 td
tell you its thirsty motor and that the 3.0 has similar power / torque etc
thats when i tell them i have a 3.0 td now and do they still blow holes in the no 4 cyl - they look a bit pale and tend to lose interest in me then - oh
well
unfortumately i only have two choices in a td auto
nissan 3.0 gu td bit under powered to tow off road
well - but a dtronic helps and i guess the later model 3.0 td is pretty much ok
also it is very economical to run
or a toyo 4.2 td with enough power but bl**dy expensive and not all that cheap to run eitherand with a bit of a history with the front IFS cracking and an occassional turbo blowing up and holing a cylinder i know of two that have done this in
brisbane
oh
well there is no perfect off road 4wd vehicle but i think an auto 4.2 td nissan would be
well on the way for me but it aint available
life was not meant to be easy
see you greg
