Tigers have been on the cards for Australia for a while they don't only use the Mitsu engine they also use a QD30 in the diesel. The main difference between these utes and the GW's is that this mob use a wide variety of bits from different makers where as GW are now modifying more bits for their own use.

I'm fairly sure there is a thread on this forum that outlines the other Nissan parts used in these Tigers and given the bits they are using from Yota and Nissan there is undoubtedly a collection of older models Nav drivers who laugh as such cars driving around using exactly the same bits.

Thats farking ugly. Kinda reminds me of the D22...

The article says they use a yota diesel engine, wonder what one? 2AD from the rav4 or something? might not be to bad a car for the money.

It looks like an old ford courier/ Mazda bravo the a hint of D22 thrown in for bad taste

 

[doc]

Looks like an old-shape Triton.

If you look at other images of you might see more D22 that anything else in that front end.

The current US model actually has the QD32 spec's to EuroII standards, that might be why the aussie version gets the Mitsu I'm not sure what standard they must be to sell here but I think it's beyond EuroII

 

[180degrees]

euro IV I think at the moment, a lot of diesels on our roads are euro V though, mostly the ones with the DPF problems

 

[KraftyPg]

Mine must be euro VI then cause I don't have and haven't had any DPF problems

But then I've also never been scared of DPF's and such technologies and it only ever seems to be those who are scared and freak out when they find one that ever have any issues with them.

 

[180degrees]

I'm not scarred of them, just they are a waste of time.

 

[nathand22]

I give them credit for making a ute that looks like every old ute ever made all in one brand new ute haha!! So far we have D22, bravo, triton, bravo, ..... Hahaha!!

Waste of time, that's a funny way of describing an inanimate object that in most cases doesn't even require human interaction.

According to the reviews there is no Bravo and the current models in the US rely more on Yota and Nissan than they do other models.

6000 Libyan terrorists who stole Tigers and out fitted them with weaponry can't be wrong can they?

 

[180degrees]

no, its a waste of time because for the small number of vehicles they are fitted to the benefits to the environment are quite minimal and they can cause issues on cars that don't do long trips everyday.

 

[KraftyPg]

More than 25 years of fitting them and other similar technologies to diesel engines large and small pretty much suggest that the small number is in fact quite large.

Crap - the tiger looks ugly (almost as ugly as the new colorado). Still, that's what nissan, toyota, ford and mitsubishi can expect if they sell their old tooling -- nasty, chinese chimera versions of their cars!

Probably the best use for them, as a technical.

looks better than the great wall

This is great. Another ute to laugh at as you pass it with its bonnet up, and another vehicle to practice your recovery skills on in the local IGA carpark.
