Just bought Nissan 2.8 diesel turbo

What's up ? Dust-Devil, you having a bad day ??
I think Jim M1 was just telling us he bought a 2.8 diesel nissan, and as we all know they are slow and sluggish, And he has done some little Mods that have made a marked improvement on the perfomance,

I think he has the right to pass on that info without, getting any sarcastic remarks, Hope your day improves,? Rgs dazren

Well there you go Dazren, even you should be able to deduce what the 'and????'

He wanted to know about Diff lockers and if you weren't so occupied with being the forum Nazi you might like to tell him all about them

Sorry dust devil, You may call this ''' AND ????? Info on diff lockers, however i still see it as sarcasm, and you are correct, i know very little about diff lockers but apparently you do, so where is your knowledgable assistance to Jim M1

Dude.

Sarcasm about what may I ask,and while your explaining that, how about elucidating your theory on my knowledge of diff lockers.

Jim M1 himself is the first to mention diff lockers in this thread and his requirement for info on them. I was just indicating that requirement to you.

Am I missing something?
I can't see any reference to diff locks in the original post!

Thank You

Thank you

Hi ur not wrong about the induction noise, it sounds like its going to suck the world through the snorkel. I have a question? any body know how much boost the 2.8 GQ can take befor everything falls out? It has a after market intercooler fitted.

+1 have a GQ 2.8. everyone hates them but I like mine. Economy is good and its a 4wd not a race car so I expect to be slow. Jim, if your in Sydney would be good to get a bit more info on what you have done and where you got it done.
Thanks

Hi jase. yes I am in Sydney. I'm a mechanic I did all the little mods myself. Yes thay are a bit sluggish but a little bit of boost makes a big differents. It just has to be done right, diesels are very touchy it is all about the Exshust temps. Get it right & you will get good fuel economy when cruising and power when u need it. My GQ has done 462000km when I got it.. So I pulled the sump off check the bearings thay look good clean the oil pick up it had slug build up i also removed the turbo oil feed line put air through not happy so I changed it with a braided hoes just for peace of mind so far happy as.

Keep working/experimenting like this, and your going to have us 2.8 owners at your doorstep for some business.

Thanks SDG. I will, I'm willing to brake one to find out its limits. I don't want to but when you want more and more power something has to give. I would like it to hold about 12-16 pounds of boost and be reliable. Slowly I will found out.
