Hi There..Hello from the Land Below the Wind..
siritPathy replied to siritPathy's topic in New People Start Here!
Hi guys, I was out of luck, am RM5000 short to buy the Safari, and RM1000 short of either engines..so I am back to square one. I have been thinking (silently and aloud) the pathy has been with me for 2 years and never gave up on me, at least the engine. So I did some researching on the net and I come out with two solutions: 1. Service the motor with original Nissan parts - new oil, new oil & air filters. 2. Service the carb - a simple DIY servicing, spraying the carb with a carb cleaner. RESULT: 1. Improved acceleration. 2. Improved fuel economy - was RM50 weekly (daily commute to work), now down to RM15.00. a 50% improvement... ..and I am sooo happy... :-)) I am thinking of improving the performance of the Z24 motor without compromising its fuel economy...perhaps a few more HP...and ideas? Thanks... -

Hi DavefromOZ, The TD27 Turbo is priced the same as the non-turbo QD32 at MYR 4,500 (AUD1400). I heard that QD32 are stronger engines, widely used for 4X4 enthusiasts. The only problem is the engine transplant - the cost. I am still contemplating whether to do a transplant or sell the truck and get a Nissan diesel. ==> http://www.mudah.my/Nissan+Safari+4+2-9838107.htm -

Hi Precise1, The TD27 Turbo is priced similar to the non-turbo QD32 at MYR4,500 (USD 1475). From infos that I gathered, installing the td27 turbo is more expensive because you need to replace your existing exhaust piping to a larger size (Well, I am not sure of this myself). I have been thinking, if the cost of an engine transplant is too high, it might just be worthed to sell the truck and buy a diesel - Nissan Safari/Patrol 4.2 ==> http://www.mudah.my/Nissan+Safari+4+2-9838107.htm -

If you convert fuel prices to USD, surely it will be cheaper but our wages here are also low. I love the z24 but mods here are difficult to come by. If I could only improve its performance and fuel economy then probably I will stick to it. I went back to the shop today and took these pictures... -

I haven't made the conversion but it might be just possible to do it by early July, waiting for the correct amount of money to come in.. -

Well, our diesel is priced at MYR 1.80 (USD 0.59) -
Hi all, am very glad to be here. At least I am with friends who are familiar with the Pathfinder. I bought mine (commonly known here as Nissan Terrano - WD21) 2 years ago. Specs:- Engine: Z24 carb, trans: manual, 5-speed. It was indeed a happy driving for the past 2 years but recently, there was a sudden hike of petrol prices, the previously cheap RON 95 soared to RM 1.95 a litre (USD 0.65), it is no longer economical to drive the truck. I am planning to replace the engine with the popular (at least here) Nissan TD27 Turbo or the Nissan QD32 Turbo. At least diesel price are still low. I have gone "window shopping" and the TD27 Turbo JDM (Used) is currently priced at RM4,500 (USD 1,472.00) and the QD32 Turbo (used) is at RM6,500 (USD 2126.00). I will post pictures of my progress.
