garrycol Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The 5 speed LT85 and LT230 goes behind a 3.9 Isuzu without any issues. The O/d on the back of an LT95 with the 3.9 Isuzu does not last though. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 So what bhp is the Nissan 4.2 quite like the sound of them, been watching a nissan patrol club in NZ that run mainly the 4.2 version and they sound great, would love one on the 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslandroverman Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Nissan sixes are hardy engines, but have pretty sedate outputs for their size, whilst initial purchase costs are generally high - £1000 will buy a bare engine, perhaps another £1000 or more for the ancillaries- and there are better options available now. You could fit an M57 BMW engine for the £1000 you'd need to buy a bare Nissan 4.2, whilst it'll rev better, better power and torque figures, and no need to make up a conversion either.

Nice, I remember years ago when me and my bro was in our two S2a's at Kirton Lindsey a guy came on in a 90 fitted with an FD 30 or something saw the engine but we didn't ask anything there was nothing it couldn't do think it got where RR's / V8 90's couldn't go and it sounded great and ever since then I always wanted one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just googled it think it was an SD33 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslandroverman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 The LD28 and SD33 were both fairly common conversions back in the 90's, I came close to buying a IIA One Ton with one fitted a few years ago, but couldn't raise the funds in time. It was an excellent truck, disappointed I didn't get it, so bought a 101 instead. You don't see so many of them about now (occasionally pop up on ebay) whilst the TD42 (the 4.2 from later patrols) is a good engine, better than its Toyota equivalent- but bloody expensive, whilst it's somewhat telling that there are commercially available conversions for fitting the 3 litre BMW engine in place of the original.
