Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On the MAF issue. I own two nissan cars, a 98 and a 2000. Both use the same hot film sensor which could be the same as the ZD30's of that error. I've cleaned both with contact cleaner at different times, picking up fuel economy and power on both vehicles. One is petrol, the other a YD22 diesel ...

Of course one guy I know has a ZD30 powered pathfinder/terrano which has given no problems but sounds like a dryer full of spanners when it starts up, even in warm weather. It's that which would turn me off buying one. Too funny, simple fix would be to use a different engine oil :D Tell him to try ...

If the guages are as important for these motors as suggested and we are all "driving them to hard" then what every 3L will be easing of the pedal to do 90km/hr & All but stop towing. ?????
Hi Bingham, no one has said that they are being driven too hard?

In standard form, they are designed to tow ...

Asking again... if you bought a used one that seemed to check out okay, and you installed these gauges, how safe would you be? Could previous abuse mean it's a ticking time bomb or is it more that they are either okay or dead? I would say that the motor would have had to have been through some very ...

You never know, they may have upgraded the electronics?

We will have to wait and see what the changes are, I am sure our mate Nizzbits will let us know when he has the skinny on it

Hey, I enjoy the scenery..... hes just pissed ...

Do you need a special license to carry that many grenades on one vehicle?
Just had CIA on the doorstep :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Well they will be wasting their time if you sent them round my way... I have already araldited the two ash trays onto the side of the block so no grenade here either :P

Geez, bogged has a great picture of a sexy lady as his avatar and you don't say a thing, he shows you a picture of a little hand grenade and you all go ballistic (pun intended)

Ratbag, I almost spurted a mouth full of coffee onto the screen.... Very funny.....

G'day, have a look through this thread http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6524 to see how to make the auto hubs into manual ones. Post 34 describes how to fix them if you want to - stops them making that clicking sound.

well i wanted to rebuild it totally, get everything done and then do everything i can to try and prevent it from happening again ie. boost controller, oil catch can, blocking the egr etc.

i believe the ones for 6k are just bare motor and then need turbo and pump and all the other shizza. i think ...

Clearly we have very different opinions of these terrible engines.
But thats ok,we are allowed to have different opinions.

I was simply giving my advice to the original poster.

But you go right ahead and fit your gauges and valves and buzzers,
and hold your breath everytime you start,rev,flog or ...

I will give you one thing Whitie, you are patient & persistent :armsup: to you.



Disclaimer: this is not intended as criticism, I actually admire your patience as you have been flamed pretty well here for your posts on the subject. Thanks mkpatrol.

It is much easier to flame, ridicule or post a ...

Is there any feed back from somebody that has fitted an EGT gauge and stopped or backed off when it got to hot. I am a perfect candidate to answer this.

After owning my truck for a few years (series III since new), I noticed that my economy was gradually getting worse and I was getting the ...

Mabee your workshop is using shit oil and that is causing so many failures in such a small cluster.



These are not cars that we service,these are nissan customers.

But nice try to spread the blame to us.

Why are zd30 owners in such denial?

Why do zd30 owners blame everyone else for their bad ...

Series II onwards, the motor was updated and just needs the EGT gauge to provide many happy Kms to its owner
yes.... they were all fixed then :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You are a funny man bogged / truckster, remind me again, do you ...

Maybe we should make a ZD30 sticky so all of these posts can go in the one spot. That way maybe it will reduce the amount of times this question is asked (BTW PLEASE SERCH BEFORE ASKING, THIS MEANS YOU ESP22).

Im sure whitiepatrol is getting sick of saying the same thing, day in dayout :D ...

i simple search would show they go "chitty chitty boom boom" Another simple search would show that there is nothing wrong with the series III motor other than the need to install an EGT (must have) and Boost gauge (optional) to make sure the electronics are doing the right thing (which all new high ...

Jarrod, they are fine, just install boost and EGT gauges (which should come with all new high tech diesels ...

Cool, so I've already beaten your odds ay and I do not think that I'm in the minority :armsup:

Get yourself an EGT gauge and it won't blow up at all cause you can keep an eye on what the electronics are doing.

I would guess a rebuild due to mechanichal wear would be past the 500 thou K mark ...

how much kms should i expect out of a 2003 GU III ST 5 speed manual 3.0 lt turbo diesel before i need a rebuild?Any other problem that ma come up most blow up ~70,000-120,000klms... Cool, so I've already beaten your odds ay and I do not think that I'm in the minority :armsup:

so just a random question to see how everyones ' time bomb's ' as people refer to them are going :) Hi burleygu, as you would know, the problems that remain on these motors are due to the ECU being fed bad information from its sensors.

Fitting EGT and boost gauges counteracts this problem, I asked ...

... i wouldnt put another one back in it and im scared every time i have to drive one that its going to blow up... x a thrillion.. Surely you are just being empathetic as I doubt that you have ever owned or had one of these motors under your bonnet.[/quote]

Gooday guys, i just recently got my car dyno tuned in Warragul (vic).And all is good. The guy put the probe in the end of the exaust pipe to get the temp reading. Diesel only 570 at 100 kls and 625 at 100 kls diesel/gas. Any input would be great , even what brands to look out for , costs etc ...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't all turbo's oil fed??? Can't say i've ever seen or heard of anything different... AFAIK, you are right, but some also have additional cooling via water - some people refer to them as water cooled turbos but they also have the oil feed to the bearings.

These type ...
