Welcome! andreratao_dk, Nice Terrano.
I would say any diesel head is welcome. I have 2 VW diesels but, I am interested in others too, even owned a 1979 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup that had an Oldsmobile 5.7L V8 Diesel until recently. I am a Nissan Fan too though!
The picture of your Terrano reminds me.
I've always wanted to get my hands on a TD27T (Turboed and Intercooled TD27) from a Terrano and swap it into an
86-97 Nissan Hard Body (D21) 4x4 Pickup. I spoke to a place in Atlanta in 2005 that imports JDM Parts, at the time I was quoted a Front cut with transmission, transfer case, engine, wiring, etc was ~$2,000.00. I looked into it a bunch, parts availability in the US is good because Nissan Forklifts came with the TD27s. Back then I didn't quite have the $, Space, or time to do a swap. Even had a pickup with a bad V6 at the time too.
D21 Trucks are still available brand new in Mexico, Kind of like you can still buy brand new MKI Golfs from VW of South Africa. The Mexican D21's are available as 4 Door Crew Cabs.
Now I am thinking maybe instead of tracking down an MkI Caddy and putting a TD or mTDI in it, maybe I should get a TD27T imported and scrounge a D21 Crew Cab Frame, bed and Cab from Mexico and build myself a truck.
It's either that or a 77-87 Chevy Crew Cab with a 4BT, Probably easier but, not as different as teh Nissan would be.
I am off to dig up my notes from 3 years ago.
Welcome to the forums!
