Help - Engine Parts
Hi all
I need some help please. My 1996 Y60 4.2 Nissan Patrol is no longer a 1996. After 420.000 km and loss of compression and starting to use oil I decided to do an engine overhaul via one of my buddies (ex Nissan). He discovered that my car is (grey) import from the UK.
The Patrols of that era sold in SA did all come with a 4.5 or 4.8 engine, so I am probably the only 4.2 petrol Nissan Patrol in the country.
We can not find engine parts such as pistons, bearing etc for this engine.
Nissan SA has informed us that they can import them for us but a price tag of R30.000 is a bit much for my pocket
Has anybody go any suggestions or contacts???
Kind Regards
Johan Dalhuijsen

Re: Help - Engine Parts
Johan, they are smoking their socks.
All the Petrol Y60's in SA have the 4.2 (TB42) engine. Mine had one too, but I have replaced it with a TB45, using the carburettor, inlet manifold and distributor from the 4.2. As a result, I did not need to modify the car in any way, except for having to fit an electric fuel pump. You can probably get a running 4.5 engine for around R15-20k, and do the same if you want. I can supply drawings for the adapter plate I made to fit between the cylinder head and intake manifold. Engine mounts, gearbox, clutch and exhaust manifold fit as is.
If you do want to re-build the TB42:
Bearings (both main and big-end) are the same as the TB45 and TD42. I have just re-built my TB45, and finding bearings was no problem. Pistons and gaskets also weren't a problem, although piston rings were a bit tricky, but these are different from the TB42.
Get hold of Pat at German Field Services, she supplied all the parts for my re-build.

En ek neem aan om td42 in te sit is meer gekompliseer?Peter Connan wrote: ↑20 Jun 2018 17:03 Johan, they are smoking their socks.

Re: Help - Engine Parts
Dis nie baie moeilik nie. Maar dit is redelik duur. Dit het my 3 jaar gelede net oor die R100k gekos. Ek is seker dit het ook nie intussen goedkoper geword nie.
Watse brandstofverbruik kry jou nou (vir watse tipe ryery) en het jy al die ding na Ant toe gevat vir 'n ordentlikke tuneup?

Re: Help - Engine Parts
4.3km/l in die dorp, maar die kar kry nie regtig kans om warm te word nie. My vrou se werk is 2km van ons huis af dan gaan haal sy kinders by die skool, nog so 3-4km se ry..
Het nog nie weer brandstof gebruik op oop pad getoets nie maar as ek reg onthou het ek laas jaar oppad rivertrip toe 5.7km/l gekry..(met dakrak en redrlik swaar gelaai)
Wens ek kon die kar by kry, maar hys bietjie ver van my af...

Re: Help - Engine Parts
As jy die kar so min gebruik gaan dit jou 'n dekade of meer kos om 'n TD42 conversion af te betaal.

Re: Help - Engine Parts
Nee ek weet.
Wonder maar net vir interressntheid wat alles gedoen moet word op n kar om van petrol na diesel oor te skakel.
Kon nog nie veel inligting hieroor opspoor nie.

Re: Help - Engine Parts
Daar is bitter baie wat gedoen moet word, natuurlik afhangende van die kar en watter motor jy wil in druk. Daar is 'n baie relevante reeks YouTube videos van Aussies wat nou 'n 80 series petrol vat en 'n 80 series diesel motor in druk. Mens sal dink dis redelik straightforward (want dis dieselfde maak, redelik eenvoudige meganiese en elektroniese komponente, ens),.dit is nie...
-Alles van die diesel sisteem vanaf waar die diesel ingegooi word tot waar die motor dit kry, moet verander word.
-Ongelooflik baie bedrading van die kar moet verander word, so die hele dash moet uitkom.
-Engine mounts, transmission mounts, struts, braces. 'n Spul van daai goed moet jy weg grind en op ander plekke vaswerk.
Daar is seker nog 100 goed wat mens moet doen, ek is die laaste persoon om te vra
4wd 24/7 is die kanaal wat hieride twee video opgelaai het. Hulle hou bietjie van goed dramatiseer en is deesdae meer 'n advertensie vir produkte, maar hulle kry die boodskap in 'n opwindende manier deur. Daar is duisende meer aktuele video's oor diesel swaps, maar hieride is redelik relevant.
Eerste video:
Tweede video:
Water Peter sê is reg, jy gaan bitter baie betaal en definitief voordele trek, maar uit 'n finansiële oogpunt uit is dit baie moeilik om gelyk te trek. Baie slimmer om net 'n diesel voertuig te koop in die eerste plek...
Behalwe as ons praat van M57 swaps dan worry ons nie oor koste implikasies nie
