2001 Nissan Patrol 3.0 litre turbo blowing up

Mid October I was returning to Sydney along the freeway from Newcastle . The patrol was travelling smoothly and suddenly a very large noise and then the engine sounded like a tin can full of nuts and bolts being shaken. The patrol was towed to the Nissan dealer where the mechanic checked the oil level and suggested possible dirty fuel. Both have been ruled out.
I phoned the next day and told them I had heard that this type of engine failure was a common problem with the 3.0 litre turbo.
They said to wait and see what the problem was and they will contact Melbourne to see if they are aware of any problem with this engine. It turned out that N0.2 cylinder has lost compression.
The patrol is just out of extended warranty, 152,300 km, and 2 months before the 5 years end. It has been correctly serviced by Nissan since new. I have had 5th gear, the intercooler and the turbo replaced under warranty plus other minor things.
After reading other examples on this forum I will wait and see what warranty (if any) is offered before I take the next step. I have contacted Fair Trading and they have said if it is a known fault Nissan could be liable. It happened on the 13th of October and from reading other entries this date is significant as othes have had the same date and same problem
