Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Paul,

Keep us informed!

So
just heard from the engineering shop.

Since 3 of the 4 cylinders cracked more or less on the same line, and horizontally, they think the block has cracked.
What is your opinion?
I can get a zd30 motor, but it comes from a Hardbody, what will it entitle to fit that to my Patrol and the auto box?

Damn that is sorry to hear.

As far as I know the HB zd30 is a low compression and the Patrol zd30 is high compression, thus not the same motor.

Try contacting Dawid Volskenk.
He might have an engine for you.

Sorry to hear about the dramas

Anybody have a ZD30 lying around, or perhaps a block that is still good?

Paul there is a guy changing his 30l for a 4.2 will find out for you also know about a nother zd30 block .......me thinks the crack in the block is not so new.....imho

Have you not considered doing the same? I.e. Putting in a 4.2

Give Frans a call - he may also have one

Tinus,
Baie dankie vir al jou hulp sover.

Frans
Dankie vir die sub assembly..

Manne die Patrol is een van die dae weer vol lewe
