2001 Nissan Pathfinder Z30 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Nothing at all!

A true 4WD with the comfort, performance and fuel economy of a executive sedan.

I own a Tristram trailer boat which ways 3 tons (which is a lot for most of the competition) which I often bring on our family holidays, and the power and torque produced by the engine is sensational.

The only problem I think the car has is the noise produced by the turbo, it sounds like a high pitched siren.

I to have this model pathfinder and noticed also that after towing my boat on a long trip, the high pitched siren of the turbo appeared.

After another year went by the turbo sound became annoying so I got a new turbo under warranty. The good thing about waiting a year or so is that Nissan acknowledged this fault in the turbo and redesigned the unit.

This means that the new turbo is quiet as, even under load. I have given the new turbo a thrashing and its still quiet.

I was so pleased that they fixed it, as I am back to loving my car again. The really go well.

I too own a z30 Pathfinder, purchased new in August 2001. It has now covered 125000 km. They are a great vehicle to drive. The diff was repaired at about 25000km, the air flow meter was replaced and continually needs servicing. The air bag light wouldn't go out and was repaired. It now has some sort of flat spot under certain acceleration situations, but I'm still very impressed with this vehicle, power, handling, ride etc.

I have a 2001 Z30 Pathfinder with 225,000KM on the clock. Had it since new. At 175,000KM it blew a whole in piston number 3. Apparently all the Z30 motors will do this at about the 175K mark. Motor rebuild cost $10,000.00.

I am reluctant to buy another Nissan diesel.
