Thanks for the info guys! You're all awesome!!!
The engine I am researching is the turbo diesel
model off the R50 JDM Terrano G3m-R, which is the
QD32ETI. That's the turbo model produced for the
Japanese market. The non-turbo model was an
industrial application only, for forklifts, etc.
The numbers are similar to the VG33E and the
diesel does have a flatter torque band but I'm not
sure how the turbo would affect that.
I was also doing some further research and their is a
turbo kit by AXT which on paper increases output by
a supposed 50%. If that theory holds true I'd be stoked!
The big issue is money, of course...

Shout out to all those at NPORA all over
the world!
I noticed there's no section for Central
Canada so I came to the Western side.
Winnipeg does technically fall on the west
side of Canada (our country's middle is about
an hour east of Winnipeg) so I'm saying what
up from the west

i will damn well give it my best shot
It ain't easy in that much snow!
But it's lot of fun!Iron Locust, that pic looks great. Reminds me of winter
here in Canada

Stick with your 17's a look into Toyo Open Country tires

Cause not everyone is into offroading, some of us wanna roll in 22's 24's
But isn't a 4x4 made for being functional on and off the road? Having 22's
looks good, I'll give you that. But the 4x4 capability is shot with bling wheels
-
the lug pattern for the 2005 and up is 6x4.5 (6 x 114.3)
There are only two set of steel rims that will fit. The Nissan 16x6 steel rim that comes on the EX frontier and a chrysler 16x7 steel wheels.
This is not my truck but here is Pathy with the chrysler rims.
Needs a lift and bigger rubbers! Looks badass though

I've been researching sites around the globe about
this and haven't had much luck yet. It's in regards
to swapping my R50's stock VG33E for the JDM
diesel engine (Neo-Di QD32) and I just hope to get
some info about:
1) If the swap is possible, and
2) If it is a worthwhile idea and/or modification.
I started this thread in the diesel engine section
(http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19985)
but thought maybe it'll get better coverage in the R50
section...
Still pricing it out and looking at possible mods but any
advice or info would be uber-valuable!
-
I agree with XLPOR (Dean) on this one. The stock ride height on the
R50 definitely leaves the off-road-going individual wanting more. Having
an extra few inches of clearance comes in handy just about anywhere.
I have yet to install a locker and haven't had any problems when I hit
the trails... yet, that is. I think having both would be a deadly combo.
I plan on installing a locker down the road but if I had to choose, the
lift is it

Manitoba neither... same old bullsh*t
What an altogether pointless election.
Btw Trainman, that pic of Stockwell
is hilarious! He's such a douchenozzle.

How's this for an idea: keep the red but Durabak it?
-
Whoa, I just joined and I'm pretty surprised that there's so many Winnipegers here!
tekazgtr1984, did you buy new flares too or just the fenders? Mine is an LE so it doesn't have flares and I wouldn't mind adding them.
Yo, nope, just the OEM flares. They're plastic so no need to replace them.
The fenders I will pick up new though because it'll cost less anyway.
Welcome to NPORA btw
-
Thanks Harvey
Unfortunately, there is little information on the engine itself, much less
anything concerning a swap on this side of the globe... everywhere
else had the diesel option so I might be SOL here...
However, the tranny, rear and front diffs are exactly the same
If only I could get my hands on a JDM R50...

West Coast baby!!!

Not to be a huge post-hog or anything, but any word on if Marcel is
alright, or back in business for that matter?
Been doing my research on armor for my rig, and I dunno what
other options there are for high quality stuff...
-
I gotta say the sand is nice, but on your rig, the red is just badass!
That is so rare and it sticks out in a really good way
-
$126 off Amazon? That's kick-ass! Thanks for the
info
-
Welcome... err, welcome back
Good to hear you're a Pathy fan through and through
Be sure to show us your new rig!
-
Cool! Maybe we can get together and take a cup of coffee like we do in Sweden lol it sounds kinda queer...
Not at all. We Canucks drink Coffee all the time... Luckily we've got Timmy's everywhere so it's easy to get a large double-double pretty much anytime
But I'd say we go for beers instead
Welcome to the club!
-
Audio set-up aside, that 2-door is slick! Clean as a bean and the
two-tone paint is very nice. As for the audio, that is unreal man!
I gotta say kudos to you
Next should be a lift kit and tires anyhoo
-
Thats all you had? You're lucky.. check out these pics from my trip to the body shop...
Whoa, that's some serious rust dood... My condolences to your Pathy.
That looks like it was a lot of work to get all that body work done.
Thanks for making feel a little bit better in this 'rusty' situation
Good to know I'm not the only one...
-
Nice, thanks for the advice.
From what I've researched on the JDM Terrano,
the Neo-Di 3.2L is pretty much a direct swap save
for a few minor details. It's just hard to find any
actual info on doing the swap; everything I've read
is just theory
-
here we go.....
Usual features..
Whoa, that is badass! I'm bloody impressed you're rockin' 33's...
What's the lift on your rig? Kudos to you my friend
-
Went to Japan a few years back for school, and noticed how many rigs have diesel engines... it's nuts!
The R50 Terrano from 1996-2004 always had a diesel option which is unfair because we never had
that option here ever... it seems the Japanese keep all their autmotive goodies to themselves...
ahem, Skyline GT-R, Silvia...
But I digress. I've been interested in a diesel swap on my '98 since I picked it up. Has anyone come
across this swap in North America?

Castrol Syntec 5W30... Works wonderfully!
