Hi, im new to this site, can any one help a woman out, i have a D21 1 ton pick up diesal 4wd truck as there know in the uk, reg 1998 with 2494cc engine, whether its a 2.4cc.or 2.5cc who knows, can any one tell me what type of engine it may have and the corect cc for me. Would be most greatful if any one could help.

It would be consisered a 2.5 litre. Is it turbo?

We don't get those diesels over here in the states, unfortunately. God knows we would love to if they were available tho!

to N4W!

Cheers for that 2.5cc, no it hasnt got a turbo.
Its the best thing i have ever driven in my life. In the uk i have only seen the d21 2wd, you dont see many of them about. But since doing my research on the net, im so glad to find a site that i can share my passion with.
Do you know possibly the engine model mine might have at all?

The engine should be a SD series. All the Datsun 720 diesels had the sd22 I think. I'm going to assume you've got a SD25 Nissan diesel. Diesel hardbody's never made it to the states.

Wow the d21 diesal never made it to the states.
Everyone over in the uk teased me for driving a crap car, they say ooh its so basic, me i dont care wot they say i love it.
Thanx hey for helping me also about my question, everyone is been a help, i like to now about engines, as its my passion i study loads about my 4x4.
Would any people out in the u.s.a like to of seen a nissan hb d21 diesal 4x4 like mine?

Yes!! Post some pics.

Yes, we would love to see pics.

Hi all, ive hopefully managed and i hope it works, ive just completed my web page of my nissan d-21 pictures so you can take a look.
If you go to www.freewebs.com/hardbodyd21. You will find pictures of my Diesal 4x4 D21. See wot you guys think and let me no.

I for one am jealous, very jealous. Very nice truck, should run for a long time. I wish we had that here.


If you take a picture of the engine we can help identify it.

And if you could do me a favor of taking a picture of the rear axle, leaf springs, and front suspension?

I am working to put 3/4ton suspension under mine.

Again, awesome truck!

Thanks its a lovely truck, i love it loads, yes i will take the pictures and post them on my site, i will let you know when ive done it. Im glad you like it.

Short box diesel, Really nice truck. They also quit making hardbodys in 97 here. When was the last year for AUS?

they used the SD22 & SD25 in the 720's
take a look on the firewall or the inner structure for a metal tag, it should have all the vitals.. engine size etc..

Hi all, Will have to have a look and get back to you on that, ive taken some more photos of what was requested, if you go into the site go to photo gallery, there you will find the outside and underneath my truck, engine as well. Get back to me if anybody wants to see more and woll take more photos

Cool, looks like a c200 rear end. As for the engine I'm not sure. It looks like its naturally aspirated and not a turbo, is that correct?

No its not a turbo, just a straight forward 2.5 Diesal engine, will put more photos on the web later, i had a chance to take a photo, when i was having my front brakes sorted, they were sqweeling like hell, there ok now
