I may have a chip it chip setup for sale for $800
getting more power is easy, just chip it.
however getting it to last, and in the case of the zd30 not blow up, that can be a different story.

only if they know that youve had one on. most can just be unplugged and removed. the steinbauer has a wire going down and tapping into a wire on ur accelerator pedal

G'day tweak'e, I'm just curious; seeing as the ZD30 is non common rail, what do you reckon it is about chipping them that contributes to premature failure? Is it excessive combustion temps/ EGT's from over fuelling leading to melted pistons etc. or just more power causing increased wear on components?
zd30 is well known for grenading pistons. the navara being lower powered than the patrol is probably why we don't see as many failures in the navara compared to the patrol.
adding extra fuel means more heat to the pistons. thats why i would do anything you can to keep them cool. intercooling would be top of my list.
edit: don't forget with a diesel you only pour in more fuel when you put the boot into it. so a lot will depend on how you drive it.

The ZD30 in the patrol has different turbo, different ECU and due to weight probably more time under load.
The 3.0 TDi Patrol was woeful in terms of life expectancy - hence being called a grenade.
I personally don't know a Navara that has died of the same thing, where I know personally of more than 20 Patrols that have burned pistons, some owners being hit more than once, and one owner had the problem 3 times.

Just out of interest, did you have a performance chip in that vehicle?
In all the patrols it was 3 and/or 4 that went. I only seen 1 that did cylinder 1 and 1 that did 2 & 3. I can't comment on 3rd party reports. Does nissan keep records of failures that you know of or can you see numbers of short blocks and turbos shipped ??

i can look through our dealer history not Nissan. mines done 1 and 3 ive still gotta strip the bottom end we have seen all 4 crack. yes we saw alot more patrols but we have had a few navaras as well. No chip fitted, egr block and custom dump and exhaust. i didnt have egt because i was to lazy.
