NISSAN PATROL - Guide to the ZD30 3.0 Litre Motor

The Nissan Patrol is considered one of Australia’s best four wheel drives. With a factory bulletproof driveline, they have proven themselves as an exceptional off road vehicle. So why is there so much trepidation with GU Nissan Patrol owners when the 3 Litre, Nissan ZD30 is mentioned? It doesn’t matter if you are talking to a hardcore Toyota enthusiast or a Nissan Patrol owner, it is generally excepted that the body and driveline of the Patrols are rock solid, but the engine (the ZD30 in particular) are the weak point.

My slideshow takes you through the common problems, how to prevent them and the 7 preventative fixes you can put in place to prevent your ZD30 engine from going into grenade mode.
