TD42 vs ZD30. Both engines have been around in Nissan Patrol s for many years.
The TD42 was first introduced into a GQ Nissan Patrol in the late 1980’s and it was phased out in 2007 when the Common Rail Diesel ZD30 took over.
The first ZD30 engine went into a GU Y61 Nissan Patrol in April 2000.
The ZD30 had a major design change in 2006 -07 when the Common Rail Diesel ( CRD ) became the motor for the GU Patrol, right up until 2016.
The production of the CRD ZD30 has now finished. End of an era for both engines.
Nissan sure have made very solid a reliable 4WD s over the years. The running gear in the entire Nissan Patrol range is pretty much bullet proof.
So, if you are looking at getting a Nissan Patrol, you have a couple of engines to consider.
TD42 vs ZD30 Which way will you go?
There’s pros and cons for both engines. So, I’m looking forward to discussing this in the live chat.
