Found another blown teranno on trademe, so reminds me come back edit this post, so it may remind others.
Owners of any of the following vechile powered by ZD30DDTi Engine may really want to read the rest.

These cars includes Nissan terrano 97-on with 3litre Diesel, Nissan patrol 99-on with 3Ltr Diesel, Nissan Safari Super Spirit 99-2002 with 3ltr Diesel. 3ltr Diesel Navara and Caravan owners may need less concern, but still recommend to learn more.

Anyone(inluding me) owning such a vechile without taking this problem into account, is risking a danger of engine blown or turbo failure. But the owners dont panic because lots of people are currently working and had a lot of progress in preventing this happen. And as long as this problem not happens, this is a good motor.

Please refer to the post in another section for detail.

while there are still lot of these vachile around its gettign to be an old issue.
the main ones to fail are the 2000-2003 in ALL versions of the ZD30.
the variable turbo motors have a few of their own problems. however so far the common rail version does not seam to have the same problems. however their seams to be an issue with fuel comsumption in the common rail ZD30 patrol.

the worse thing of it all is Nissans head in the sand approch to its faults in its vechiles.
