5 litre cummins

[big zetor]

nissan usa have anounced they are going to put a 5 litre cummins diesel in the titan to replace the petrol v8, this could mean good things for the patrol wich runs the same v8 engine, or maybe even a market for the titan in aus! just sayin

Mr 4x4 was sprouting something a week or so back about how good it was for Australia and that there was hope but as far as I know Nissan Australia haven't even commented on the chance of bring it here.

Mmm
Ide buy one

 

[KraftyPg]

Even if it had electronic switches?

Go to page 2 on the caravan forum there is a link re this but i think the pollution laws may be an issue a d40 will be just as nice towing 2.5 tonne and the weight will be heaps less.

you'd seriously rather a D40 for towing john?

Nissan will never bring it here because they are idiots, obvious choice for a diesel patrol would be the V9x but again Nissan are idiots and think people only want a big thirsty V8.

your so negitive 180 lol

You know what grunt my 22 puts out but stock i would chose a d40 anyday to pull 2.5tonne over a 22 not that i am a d40 fan but the 22 stock with that weight cannot cope 2.8 tonne with a big hill start see ya later clutch.

How many have seen the new V8 Patrol on the road ????...I'd suggest it is a flop

look and see Landcruiser 200 series everywhere

one entering the dealer on the back of a tow truck
and one towing a massive trailer out near dalby

Massive v8 petrol with petrol over $1. 50 a litre - clearly not pitched at the Aus market. They should drop the v6 diesel in it for here.

ive seen quite a few on the road, one the other day towing a massive van too

In tests I've seen /read the Nissan V8 is as good as if not better than the 200 series 4.5TT engine on fuel consumption

dont believe Diesels are cheaper to run /own..broadbrush statement

And to be fair they havent been in the country long, the 200 series has been around for years

Agree Matt,

interesting to see registration data that is often published...anyone know where to find it ?
