Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems Nissan VE30 DE

The exhaust manifold gasket burns out regularly, and it is not so easy to replace
Even when removing, the exhaust manifold studs constantly break off.
A number of owners were faced with replacing the pump and hydraulic lifters at 150 km
Diesel noise during engine operation indicates the manifestation of the so-called VTC problem
But the main problem of the motor is the difficulty of finding spare parts or a suitable donor.
