Nissan Patrol Reference Document ZD 30 SPECIFIC (MOSTLY) ENGINE PROTECTION
In order to look after your engine there are a few things you can do, it is all pretty simple really, the best way to keep your engine running optimally is to keep an eye on it and use products that can better protect it, a basic list is as follows;
- Snorkel – Probably the most important item for any diesel engine. On a Patrol the air intake comes from inside the left hand (passenger) side guard. As you drive the dust that is stirred up from the front tyre is sucked up into the guard and into the filter thereby blocking it quickly. (more…)

This kit was not designed to fit vehicles with a body lift.
TO START: 1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable. NOTE: Disconnecting the negative battery cable erases pre-programmed electronic memories. Write down all memory settings before disconnecting the negative battery cable. Some radios will require an anti-theft code to be entered after the battery is reconnected. The anti-theft code is typically supplied with your owner’s manual. In the event your vehicles’ anti-theft code cannot be recovered, contact an authorized dealership to obtain your vehicles anti-theft code.

Since the invention of the internal combustion engine, automotive engineers, speed junkies and racecar designers have been searching for ways to boost its power. One way to add power is to build a bigger engine. But bigger engines, which weigh more and cost more to build and maintain, are not always better. Another way to get more power from a normal-sized engine is to make it more efficient. You can very well do this by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. More air lets you add more fuel, and more fuel equals a bigger explosion and greater horsepower. Adding a supercharger is a great way to achieve the forced induction of air.

Removal of air intake plenum:
First of all, the task at hand is really easier than it appears. The only thing is… it takes time. If you know nothing about cars or what things are under the hood, I suggest you take a look at figure 18 and see if this is comprehendible to you. If it is and you have the tools and feel comfortable, please proceed. If not, I suggest you find a qualified mechanic instead of doing it yourself. The plenum itself is actually very easy to unbolt, only 13 bolts & nuts hold it in place. (fig. 19) What makes it complicated is all the other stuff you have to unbolt and move out of the way so your plenum is free to completely flip up and give you full access to the sparkplugs.

A musty/mildew type odor may come from the vents when the air conditioning (A/C) system is operating. It is most noticeable when the A/C is first turned ON. This odor is the result of mold growth in the A/C evaporator/ cooling unit which is caused by condensation, dust, and pollen within the cooling unit. This condition is usually worse during high humidity conditions. “Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating” is available to encapsulate the mold to reduce odors. If the product is properly applied, it can effectively reduce the musty/mildew odor for up to three years. NOTE: See parts information for Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating and Kit part numbers.
