Parts and accessories for Euro market Roamer / D-series

In addition to EU compliant parts. Gavril also looked to sate that European taste for fine soot in the form of a 2.5L OHV turbo diesel i4 licensed from Bruckell, available in both the big Roamer and D series trucks.



These 'TD' variants are very slow, but do get ok highway mileage and work fine offroad. Their performance is similar to real life models like such as the RD28/ZD30 Y61 Patrol or the 1HZ 105 series Landcruiser. It truly replicates the Aussie driving experience of being a P plater with an old diesel Nissan and taking 4 upshifts and ~20 seconds to get to 60(kmh).​

Parts included:

-The turbo diesel 2.5L 4cyl from the Soliad Lansdale. Converted from a transverse application into a longitudinal one. Available in both intercooled and non-intercooled variants and with all tuning parts intact. The airbox relocated to be compatible with the stock snorkel, as well as bunch of mesh changes to allow the engine to technically function in this new orientation. The engine is quite heavy and jbeam changes are made to reflect this.

-A 2.5 TD specific 5-speed manual gearbox with a higher clutch lift point, and a higher stall torque converter for the automatic.


-Diesel gauges (also available in imperial units) and 'TD' Badging for both Roamer and the D truck.

-EU mandated rear fog lights, mounted on the bumper for the Roamer, and integrated into the left taillight for the D truck.


-Amber taillights and EU compliant turn signal / Side markers for all Roamer and D truck lights.


-Metric petrol engine gauges reading up to 240km/h with a metric odometer


-New front bumper mouldings for both facelift / pre facelift D trucks to accept EU plates


-Special EU spec taillights for the cab chassis variant of the D truck


-A special facelift bumper for the Roamer with fog light and reverse light integrated + license plate mount

Notes
-When used with an automatic gearbox, the 2.5 TD suffers from poor launches.

This is an issue with the vanilla diesel Lansdale as well, and can't be completely resolved with a higher stall torque converter. It seems to be an issue with turbo lag + high engine inertia + TQ settings? But atm I'm not really sure why it happens.

-Parts for the cargo box uplift + other industrial variants are not included

These simply go beyond my scope of interest, and will take much more modelling to be made technically EU legal than I'm willing to do.
