Hi, looking at a '95 2litre primera diesel, non turbo, does anyone know what they're like and what sort of fuel consumption they get? Or anywhere can find out (apart from the NPOC... )
Cheers
Cheers

Yom said:Not on the older models. Even a modern turbo diesel will chew just as much fuel as a similarly sized petrol if driven hard.
MA12:) said:yes Nex but diesels have that low down lazy torque, straight up to top gear and no need to change gear again till your destination.

Most small nissan diesels in passenger cars seem to be belts. I think thats because they sourced the european diesels from the european manufacturers. Domestic Japanese models don't have a diesel engine at all unless its a truck or utility vehicle (and I don't know any nissan diesel from japan which has a timing belt - but there are a few petrols from the early 90's which use a belt instead of a chain. CA, RB (except RB30 varients) and VG come to mind.NeX said:ooh are they? i thought nissan stayed away from belts and only did chains...
that is very useful to know
