You blokes have got it all wrong, Nissan is going micro with major power for better handling and performance in new Datsuns ..http://www.gizmag.com/nissan-zeod-rc-engine/30611/

Put one of those on each wheel for true 4wd. Probably go ok too. Upside no need for diffs  :cup: :cup:

I've seen it in the flesh and it is an impressive vehicle. The front bar hides the butt ugly lines only a mother could love.

Speaking of butt ugly, you should see the Infiniti QX80 they're about to release.  :-[

Yeah, but you could keep the V8 bit.

It does look the goods. Surprising what a bit of jewellery can do.......

Haha.....gold

Have to say though it looks very impressive, seems to be slowly gaining momentum out there, maybe peoples opinions are coming around to a V8 petrol in a bloody big wagon....time will tell I guess...

Be interesting to know the amount of $$$$ to get it to look like this......including veh id guess $100k prob...???

I would want a massive discount on the purchase price for how long many of these would have been sitting around in holding yards due to the lack of sales.

$20-30k in that fit out! I wonder if ARB overestimated the popularity of the y62? Lots of time and money invested in a truck that barely registers a couple of sales a week.....then the majority of those don't fit any extras to tow the horse float......doesn't sound like they are gonna milk much from it

On the flip side there are great deals to be had on new trolls, they are pretty good units apart from the ugly front

They sell a few Nissans over there, but the Saudis don't do bull bars much..

Just back from yankie land and saw none over there ( did see a few Infinity's )

Maybe Sth Africa ??

They won't put a diesel in this but they put one in the Xtrail. WTF are they thinking.

Big call if you could get it that cheap the 35k in savings as compared to the Diesel 200 series buys a hell of a lot of petrol

On car sales 2013-2014 year range, 0-5000kms for just on 60000. One is even advertising that it is just under 30k off retail lol.
I do know that paying cash will save you even more, so mid to high 50 is not a hard thing to achieve.
Its a lot of car for the money.

Is WogsRSu stil on here? 

Just read through this thread and what was he talking about back in 2012? 

I have a series 9 which came out in 2013 and there is still no firm info on any motor upgrades for future models.

Just curious to know what he was alluding to.

Cheers

I would buy one if Nissan wasn't selling ones that are already 3 years old - and no certainty about the future of the vehicle in the market (parts etc).

The engine is beautiful and its a lot of car for the money.

Nissan is talking of rejigging the lineup with the QX80 arriving soon.  If they price them realistically, commit to the vehicle long term and start bringing in fresh models (with all the updates from the last model refresh in 2014) I would seriously look at one to replace my Pajero.  Who cares about no diesel, the Petrol engine is a gem and I don't tow a big van. 

Their plan B could be as soon as they sell the last of the 2000+ models they imported back in 2012 they might just walk away from the Y62 in the Oz market - it will leave a lot of people with an orphan vehicle.  There are no other vehicles that share parts with the Y62 in the Nissan catalogue (apart from the QX80 when they bring it here, but even that won't sell in big numbers).
