Has anyone ever converted or attempted to convert their pathy to a Diesel or Biodiesel to use PVO? I get 14 MPG and I'm tired of paying up the **s for gas. I figured it might be time to buy a new car but them I thought why not just invest in a new engine. Anyone have any ideas? I saw an episode of Pimp your ride where they converted some old American car with a turbo charged bio diesel engine that had over 825 HP and still got 25mpg. I am not looking for that kind of power but a little more than what I have stock and better gas mileage. Any ideas?
Also, do you get bad mileage with diesel engines on the street? I heard the greatest benefit is on the freeway.
I used to drive a converted Chevy 6.2 diesel with duel tanks mainly on the highway and I could go weeks between fills.

The problem is finding a Nissan diesel and then finding parts for it. They're not sold in the US, you'll have to order every part you need from Japan or Canada or Australia or something.
Other than that, you could try to find any diesel engine and tranny and put it in yourself. It'll be innovative but expensive. I highly doubt you'll recoup the costs through fuel savings any time soon. You'd be better off to sell the Pathy and buy a VW Rabbit.
AYE get the rabbit!!!

Hey Everybody! I just registered tonite after reading tons of useful stuff on this valuable forum. I hope that I can make some helpful contributions as well. Many of you are very knowledgeable about your Pathys so I wonder if anyone can answer this:
Will 2001 Frontier wheels fit on a 96 Pathy providing they are both 15" and have the same bolt pattern?
