The diesel crankshaft is a popular upgrade for a super Z car engine.

I think that they made a few diesel pickups too, pre-Hardbody.

Wow, I can't remember last time I saw one of those. Yes, the Maxima was available as a diesel for a few years. Agree with Woody that the 720 pickup may have also been available with a diesel.

They definitely made a few 720 diesels. I wish they had carried the diesel over to the hardbody, but they didn't in the US. I think they had a turbo diesel elsewhere.

The 280ZX Turbo exhaust Manifold and Turbo can be a good upgrade to make this into a Turbo Diesel so it can get out of it's own way!

People want these? If anyone wants parts, there is one sitting in my parent's back yard in SW MI. Same color even. It was hit in front but was running when parked many years ago. It was sitting inside until about a year ago. My dad thought he was going to put the engine in some kind of truck, but it isn't going to happen and the whole thing will end up at the scrap yard soon.

Isn't Nissan kind of well known for their diesel engines, at least in small delivery trucks.

In reply to WilD:

Before it goes to the scrap yard I'll at least take the bottom end if nobody else does
