New Nissasn 4.2 Diesel

I forgot, there is a rumour of Direct Injection.. but they are holdng the cards close to their Chest for some reason.

HI Robo, you are correct, the mag did not get to the stands today, my guess is that they have held it off till the release of the new patrol on either tomorrow or friday im told by my local Nissan dealer. The updated model has all new interior that goes all through the range of patrols and the upgraded motor (diesel) of course. Possibly Nissan did not want the details to get out b4 the release.

Hi Robo.
My Gu is nearing 4 yo, done 245000 ks no major problems,, i'm happy with motor and would rather get another 4.2 than the 3 litre.I'm hoping for just the intercooler without the direct injection. The current 4,2 doesn't have a computer and thats the way i like it. Direct injection will bring with it the dreaded computer, the 3 litre has its computer under the seat, handy if you happen to go through water any deeper than 5oomm.. Cheers Michael

>>>> handy if you happen to go through water any deeper than 5oomm..


of you do your warranty is cactus anyway! Ask the people getting new $2-3000 air cond pulleys and bearings etc... (GU 3.0ltrs only)

Hi Robo, i had my Patrol in for service on monday at Purnell Nissan @ Liverpool , outside of Sydney, they told me definately by Friday, so i concluded thats y the Mag was late, who knows.. Any way all will be revealed probaby 2moro with the 4x4 magazine. I'm happy about the lack of direct injection, the worst thing they could do is put the same pump as the 3.0D patrol on. They are failing with shonky fuel as there is no other lubrication ather than the diesel fuel itself. Nissan is not even replacing them under warranty as they say that fuel quality is beyond their control. $6000 for a new fuel pump. I'll keep with the old mechanical job that is tried and proven.. Regards Michael.

Lets be honest, I dont think any dealers "know"....

My local dealer Peninnsular Nissan, told me Direct Inj thats why its been held back on their release, as they couldnt get emissions correct.

Intercooler is in same place as the 3.0, over motor, and Everything else is the same, just new colours....

Dont be shocked if its just a TD42T with Intercooler, and Non Direct Inj... Direct Inj would be the next MAJOR upgrade!!!!!

Said it before and said it here before, you want to find out all the FACTUAL problems with the 3.0, join the patrol4wd group on yahoogroups, adn search the archives...
