I was curious.. has anyone attempted swapping an diesal L28e from the older Maxima's..(810's)... 1981-1984?

Because they have L28's but are diesal, I figured maybe someone attempted this..

Would there be any advantages to this other than not having to replace the sparkplugs since there are none?

I have never seen one done. The thought has been there for me but not for the 240Z. I was thinking about looking around for a 70s datsun pick-up for that swap.

A good friend of mine wrenches on big rigs and has been bugging me about doing a diesel motor. There are some very neat tricks you can do that will blow the minds of most.

One set-up he has done in a pick-up with a inline 6 diesel had.

Twin Turbo with propane injection and NOS. This sounds like ALOT but its all for pulling power not a race motor. Not that it wont pull a loaded racecar trailer with ease @ over 100 mph all damn day.

IMO diesel motors are for trucks and tractors PLEASE dont try it with a real Z If you feel you must do it please go diesel ZX.

:dead:

suppose if u want to own one of those "cool" zeds that sound like a tractor it might be a good idea.

The only positive would be cheeper gas prices.

Desal is a killer to mother nature..

Kills Z's too
