Figured I would chime in here as I am looking for a biodiesel source in Victoria. I have run B99 (nearly 100%) in my rig back home in the states for a while with no issues. It has a Nissan SD33 engine (same as patrols in 80s). Only had to replace some rubber hoses with a suitable material...

Just wondering if anyone has any leads...still trying to replace this fuel filter. Cheers, Casey

Hi All- Wondering if anyone has a spare fuel water sensor they wish to part with? The PO deleted it and just fitted a filter with a built-in drain. I am having trouble finding the replacement filter to match and would like to go back to stock so I can replace the filter. Or any other ideas...

Hi all- Just wondering if anyone knows a place in Melbourne to hire specialty automotive tools (for example a radiator/cap pressure tester)? Back in the america the auto parts shops had them for hire, but none here seem to do that... Thanks heaps, Casey

Awesome info mate! Thanks again.

Thanks again for the responses. Here is an update: Drove her out to the country (about 250 kms from Melbourne) to work on it at a mate's farm. During the drive, the engine kept overheating at every hill and had absolutely no power what-so-ever. And these are little hills on the Hume. So I...

Thanks for the posts. Good to hear it is a reliable engine. I have yet to "seat dyno" it, but it seems to be guzzling fuel and has very little power on hills (even in the power band). Hopefully it isn't the pump. But all-in-all she goes quite well as long as I drive gently. So any other...

Thanks all. I was actually considering the turbo upgrade but want to make sure the motor is up to it (441,000 kms). I may actually have to drop a replacement motor in her down the track and that will be a turbo model for sure. Cheers, Casey

Hi all- Just bought a second-hand 1992 Navara 4x4 with the NA TD27. The engine is tired with 441,000 kms on the clock but it seems to go pretty well. The guy I bought it from knew nothing about engines but one of his mechanic friends said the engine was in good nick. The owner before him had...

Hi all- Glad to see a forum for Navara utes. I just picked up a second-hand 1992 D21 4x4 with the NA TD27 motor. It is a great little work ute with a large tray on the back. Back in the states, I have another 4x4. It is an IH Scout but fitted with the SD33T Nissan Diesel so I am somewhat...
