Nice choice of motor, to put in :)

In regards to what you want to do, there was someone on here before trying to compile a list to do what you want to do. Maybe a serach of the archives might help find that person. Either way good luck with what you end up doing. While I was not a victim of the ZD30, my parents were.

Cheers Stefan

can you read mypost and tell me if you had similar issues???

cheers....

Gday,
From the storries Ive read on here in relation to some Nissan engines, I reckon you'll have trouble getting it down to 10 rather than trouble finding them.

LOL
Cheers

Why don't you keep it all in one thread, it makes it very hard to follow by keep starting new ones.

Hi there Captain Chaos, when you say gen 3 I presume you are referring to the Holden V8 motor ?? or do you mean series 3 motor from the patrol ?? If referring to the gen 3 from a Holden then make sure it is the gen 3 from a VY or VZ not from a VT or VX. VT/VX had serious issues with piston slap and using as much oil as fuel. VY/VZ rectified this problem in regards to oil usage, no further issues. Still get a bit of piston slap but no where near the VT/VX issues and I haven't heard of the gen 3's form the VY/VZ's having any issues with oil usage. This is coming from some body who has worked for Holden for the last 16 years as a mechanic. Good luck with it all and hope you solve any issues with Nissan.

Tried the same with the current affair shows when they request a story from the public. Did not even get a reply! These media driven shows do not have the balls to take on a big gun. It would mean a loss of income for their employer so they'll just keep kicking the small business owner and the other soft targets and then sensationalise the minor incident. Good luck any way and hope you succeed and count me in.

Captain Chaos

You got me if you need me.

As for the replacement motor, the new common rail would be the only one I would even begin to contemplate, the earlier engines be they Sr I II III IV are just the same system as yours and you will be buying another ticket in the same lottery.

Cheers Colin.

Captain Chaos

Anybody can contact me. I just posted a long reply earlier today and am working my way backwards through the posts that I'm interested in.
