G'day Blackie

Tried to email you but not allowed. Maybe because I don't own a Kedron as yet.

Am interested in your V8TD transplant into your Nissan. I have a 2000 GU 3Lt Auto which is only rated at 2500k. Apart from the 4.8 petrol, Nissan have nothing in auto that can tow up to 3500k. Could spend $80K on a 200 series V8TD but would rather keep my Nissan.

Was wondering if you could give me any info on your setup.

My email is wmeiers@westnet.com.au

Cheers

Bill

Hi Bill & Jan

I'm sure Blackie will reply, however I know his is a manual, so already has the 3.2 tonne tow limit. I'm not sure though whether he was able to get his tow capacity upgraded due to engine swap so that would be interesting.

I was also under the impression that the auto 3l Patrol only had the 2.5 T tow limit due to the auto gearbox - not sure how it would handle a lot more grunt then.

I think you will find there could be a few factory turbo diesel 100 series being traded for the 200 series in the next 12 months or more so they could be worth looking out for and prob end up the same or cheaper changeover than a engine swap and you end up with all the benefits of a LandCruiser :thumbsup: :biggrin:

Cheers

And Kimbo says 200 is the way to go :thumbsup: Nissans well :biggrin:

And the 100 went to a new home this afternoon and the owner was rapped
