  1. Yeah I have been reading a fair bit about the blown pistons. From what I know, the only issues with this one was the intercooler and fuel pump that the previous owner replaced. I have changed the MAF sensor and sorted the turbo fluctuations out. I also did an EGR block and runs way better now, especially in the morning now that its winter. Its done about 300,000km so I'm a bit sceptical about doing major replacements etc since the entire engine is pretty worn and don't want to put more pressure on it with newer parts doing a better job- if that makes sense. No smoke and runs really nice now that I sorted the MAF, just looking to keep it going for as long as I can (fingers crossed no pistons go when towing the boat ?)
  2. Cheers mate. The EGR block seams pretty straight forward. I just can't find how to do a swirl mod and if its necessary. It makes sense to do so regardless and open both airflow channels but can't find any solid diagrams. Also, is it necessary to add an oil catch can to an EGR block?
  3. FYI changed MAF sensor and boost back to normal ? Worth trying to do a swirl mod with a EGR delete? Has any zd30 owner done one?
  4. Thanks guys! Yeah the info online for the ZD30DDT pathfinder is pretty limited online. Heaps of stuff for the Navara or Patrol though. Ill defiantly try the fuel filter this weekend. I changed it a few weeks ago so I it could be that. Has any ZD30 owner done an EGR block?
  5. Hey guys, New to this but keen to learn as my 4x4/outdoor interest grows. I have a 1999 R50 3.0L ZD30DDT DOHC 16v Turbo Diesel and would like to keep it going as long as I can and do it myself. Currently its running a bit rough/turbo gauge is all over the show (will get up to 10psi and then drop to 0psi). Im thinking a boost leak? I can't find anything obvious in any of the hoses and their arn't any obvious oil leaks that I can see either. Could the EGR play a role in this? Been reading a bit and it seams like the thing to do is too block it to increase Diesel engine longivity with possibly a power/milage increase? Seams simple enough, but I'm not 100% on location and can't find any exact photos/diagrams online. Like I said, new to this but keen to learn. Any help is appreciated. Cheers
