Assalamoalikum Fellow pakwheelers and Ramzan Mubarak.

for a long time I have always wanted to get a Nissan safari y60 and Alhumdullah, I was able to get one. Sadly not in so "original" condition. It's got a old 1uz init which is giving wiring issues.

As im on a budget, I would like to get some ideas for a swap. I would be needing the complete original 4x4 setup of the patrol as mine has hers removed. If anyone can help me with the complete original td42+gear+wiring, as i haven't found. Decent engine in the twin cities.

Any and all ideas are welcomed.

I would suggest you to go for mitsubishi 2.8TD (4m40) engine swap .

I don't think that's a reliable alternative

4m40 is not reliable and expensive as hell common rail turbo 4d56 over 4m40 anyday

First of all congrats on the new Ride, i would suggest is try to get your 1uz sorted out. Its going to be the cheapest option..

Lastly if you want to revert to original engine best option would be the nissans 4.5 turbo diesel

Stick to your original plan, td42 is the best possible solution. Personally used it, loved it, mine had 200k plus kms on it and still went on strong.
I have a simple question though, why buy an altered vehicle in the first place. Secondly, post some pictures, the amount you paid for it, the amount that you are willing to invest. By looking at it, we can guide you better

@dayrider, I bought it for a fair price I believe through pakwheels. Bit of a hasty decision but what's done is done. Lol
besides I always wanted a lwb low roof. In this case it so happens to be a body change but it works. As all the documentions and the appropriate clearing letters are there.
And its a single digit lhr number.
I was always going to put it half a mil on any such 4x4 project I would have taken. But safaris love, so haha
ill post pics tomorrow, Inshallah.

Congrats and Ramzan Mubarak
Its gonna be fun as long as your willing to count everything as an experience. 1UZ swaps are very common (generally, not patrol) and its wiring issues should be very easy for Rwp electricians. A bit of digging on these forums might lead you to some 1UZ experts. Do some homework from international Patrol/Safari forums to see if 1UZ swap is worth you time and money or you should move to another engine.

If you have not already called, give this a try https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/4x4s-4x4-parts/266596-nissan-patrol-td-42-engine-sale

Do load your pics and keep updating this thread as you sort out your SUV as it will help many others.
Good Luck!

A properly swapped in 1UZ should make your Safari a rocketship. Its going to be slower whether you put in a TD42, a TB45 or RD28. I'm guessing that the chassis motor mounts have been messed with?

If you're looking for a relatively economical solution, you need to have the 1UZ wiring redone and the mechanical liaison properly looked at and corrected if need be.

Safaris have been successfully pounding the rally stages with Toyota 1FZFEs, and a 1UZ has more torque and power than a 1FZ. I wouldn't necessarily shy away from the motor that's presently in your vehicle.

Let the details come forth, and I can guide you. There are shops available that can fix your 1uz, some may cost an arm and a leg but they will get it done

What's the condition of the engine? Get compression test done and scan via OBD tool. Check the ignition system and bring it back to stock. Flush the cooling system as well.

Except td42 all gasoline engines will make a big dent on your pocket...all are fuel guzzler as compare to td42.
as you said you need daily and cross-country runner then stick to diesel engine it's economical and long life...
