Patrol out of Europe??

#1

Post by legacyelectric »

Hi Everyone
My little 82 maxi sedan with the new 5 spd is still running Great

Daily driver love the little car

Any way I have a contact who said he has a 2.8l nissan diesel imported from Europe with only 35,000 miles on it. But doesn't know much about it. He was told it came out of a " parol" He said it was like a little suv over there

Does any one know about that engine, will it fit into my 82 sedan,
If it goes bad in the future? :cry:

Thanks

Nissan Patrols often have the RD28 diesel. I doubt they are a bolt in replacement for the LD28, but I really don't know. I wouldn't worry too much about the Maxima outliving its LD28. The reverse is far more likely.
