1997 Nissan Terrano R50 QD32ETi Turbo Diesel — Right-Hand Drive JDM Import with 148,136 km Why This Car Is Special The 1997 Nissan Terrano R50 is one of those vehicles that Americans never got to buy new, and that fact alone explains why demand for clean examples has climbed steadily since the 25-year import rule opened the door.

Japanese buyers received powertrain options that export markets did not, and the QD32ETi turbo diesel was one of them. This engine was valued in the JDM market for its torque output at low RPM and its fuel economy relative to its displacement — qualities that make a heavy, body-on-frame SUV far more usable in everyday driving than a thirsty petrol engine of similar output. The odometer reads 148,136 kilometers, which on a diesel of this type and character is a relatively modest number for a well-maintained example.

The right-hand drive configuration, the Japanese-market Eclipse HDD navigation unit, the overhead compass and temperature display, the door visors, and the original odometer in kilometers all confirm that this vehicle spent its life in Japan before being exported.
