2007 Patrol Update

Direct from Nissan:

2007 PATROL
The legend evolves...

The latest range of Nissan Patrols now offers cruise control as standard on all models. Plus, if you choose a 2007 Patrol with an all new 3.0 litre turbo diesel, you'll also enjoy the latest generation of common rail technology. This new common rail fuel delivery system offers a number of benefits. It significantly reduces noise and vibration to offer you a quieter, more pleasant driving experience. You'll also find the engine is more responsive across the entire rev range because of its more accessible power and torque characteristics.

Whichever engine you choose, be it the new 118kW 3.0 litre common rail turbo diesel or the powerful 180kW 4.8 litre petrol, you'll find Patrol has all the power you need to meet the toughest demands.

blowing up shortly after

You would think that if the ZD30 was such a pile of effluent as you seem to think it is that you would also have commented on the fact that Nissan now no longer offer the TD42 but you didn't. How quaint! The Nissan Corporation must have just a tiny bit of faith in the ZD30 to offer it as their ONLY diesel option in the Patrol as they have a fair bit a stake in doing that. No doubt there have been some earlier engines blow up prematurely due to wrong dipsticks, misaligned piston crown cooling sprays in the little end of the conrods, etc but the basic engine has been in production for 7 years now. How many of those that have blown up had after-market electronic chips fitted to vary the ECM settings beyond what the manufacturer intended, how many had the wrong grade of oil in them, how many had been overloaded, oveheated, run low on oil through negligence?? No I don't represent Nissan in any way, but you have to have a balanced view mate, embrace technology or you will be left behind, weigh up the benefits against the costs, it's time to move on. I'll bet you don't still have a black and white TV or cook you toast over the wood stove with a wire fork but then again with a handle like Now I'm Number One maybe you just might.

it took a little longer than i thought for someone to take my reply seriously.
well better go plug the black and white tv in and settle down for the night with some freshly made wood oven bread.
no need to take things so seriously mr nissan
cheers

What a Crock

embrace technology or you will be left behind,

Well Sir it just so happens i have Embraced New Technoligy and do infact have the latest Mobile Phone.

So when the Tow Truck doe's turn up to tow the Blown Up 3 Liter Nissan away and if infact i do get left behind on the side of the road i can then phone the tow truck driver to come back and pick me up'now if that is not embraceing new technology my Question to you is What Is ?????????

We, the owners or former owners of engine failed GU's which Nissan walked away from, are entitled to hold a grudge.

Agree mate. They have an engine they need to advise before we take notice.

you can always buy a Toyota lol

iTs a joke!! The Toyota engineers and sales executives in Japan must be rolling on the floor laughing right now!!! 2.5 tonne pushed around by a piddly 4 cylinder with no other reliable option. I was waiting for the all new model, i thought it would be this one but it seems it will be around the same time as the Cruiser in 2008. If they dont have a new 6 cylinder donk in the 2008 model, i will be slipping into a Cruiser. If Toyota had a solid front axle as an option with their new Twin turbo V8 diesel, Nissan can turn the lights off on the patrol assembly line. Nissan have really lost their way, I guess you only have to look at a new Renault to see the way they think!!! Michael

Hey Truckster, you said to give you a yell when I was going to upgrade my lens, so could you give me the info on the bloke you know who sells them? I like the idea of trying them on my camera before buying.

Sorry to Hijack the thread but I didn't want to start a new one just to ask.
