Zdaddy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Hello all. I was wondering if someone could teach me a little more about Nissan's Trucks and SUV's. I'm a Z guy(name gives it away) and many of you already know of VGPowered.com, the site I created dedicated to the VG engine. I made a page all about the Z31...(still work in progress, Just need to finish talking about its different engines), I'm looking to make a page like this for all the vehicles that Nissan dropped a VG into. http://www.vgpowered.com/index.php/Sport-C...Nissan-Z31.html For example, what years did Nissan equip the VG30I into Pathfinders? How about trucks? I know this is about pathfinders but I bet some of you know just as much about Hardbodies and Frontiers...how about Xterra? Is a hardbody a frontier? Whats the difference. I'm so ignorant in this area, but its important in regards to the VG. I provide full credit to people that want to publish articles and how-tos. Note that I linked NPORA in the links section Whatever I get from here, I will make sure to note that if it is used.

Pathfinder: 87-89 VG30i 2 door only very rare, but some did have a Z24i. 90-92 VG30E 4 and 2 doors(altho 2 doors are rare) 93-95 VG30E all 4 doors. updated bumpers and in 94 they got a new dash. 96-2000 VG33E 4 doors unibody Hardbody: 86.5-89 VG30I and Z24i 90-95 VG30E and KA24E 96-97 KA24E Xterra: 2000-04 VG33E and VG33ER Frontier: 98-04 VG33E,VG33ER, KA24E this is all from memory so dont quote me, but it should be pretty accurate. hope that helps *EDIT* I thought I put it down, but I must have missed it, 2 door VG30E paths are from 90-92, not just 90.

89_trailboss Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 oh ya, thats for north american nissans. in other countrys you can get a carbed z24 in both HB's and WD21's as well as diesels. but seeing how your looking for VG info I left most of the other stuff out.

Zdaddy Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 So the hardbody, for two years (96, 97) didnt come with a VG? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I know of one 92 Nissan Navara (Hardbody?) Factory fitted VG30E in New Zealand This is an auction so pics might not be there for long. Dunno If that helps but It RARE here Only difference to that list (this is from New Zealand) is you can still get 2drs...up to 94 as I've got one, but it's got a TD27T. I haven't seen a VG30E 2dr after 92 here. Edited March 6, 2008 by TerranoNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that sounds kinda cool..."Info courtesy of NPORA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 In the US the cut-off year for 2-doors is 1990. 99% of the 90-95's are 4-doors. Canada got 2-doors through 1992. They were making 4-door HB pickups in some countries WAY before the Crew Cab Frontiers came out in the us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Agreed, I saw a 4-door Hardbody in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Not sure of the engine, but I can tell you this much though, if they offered that in here in the US back then, I'd be driving one rather than my Pathfinder for sure. The same 4 seat setup of the rig plus a truck bed, well alright. Yes, I know there are Frontier options available, that's a different price range and I like the older styling by far.

Zdaddy Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks you guys. Info has been transfered over to here http://www.vgpowered.com/index.php/Vehicle-Lineup/ Its still a work in progress. If you guys have anything to add or correct, dont hesitate by posting here or on VGP's forum. I cited Npora for the contribution Eventually, I would like a small representative picture for each vehicle above the name of the vehicle listed. And I would like a page dedicated for each vehicle or chassis. I'm already working on the Z31 page because thats right up my alley It all kinda flows out. If anyone here wants to start a Pathfinder or whatever page, contact me. Remember, authors and contributors are always given credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
