Super TestCar reviews - Nissan - Pathfinder - Ti 5-dr wagonNissan modelsEngine14 Feb 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON PATHFINDER'S longitudinally mounted powerplant is a 3.3-litre single overhead camshaft 12-valve V6 codenamed VG33E, which delivers 125kW of power at 4800rpm and 266Nm of torque at 2800rpm. Its claimed 0-100km/h time is 11.3 seconds, while 18.4 seconds are required to reach the quarter mile (400m). The engine is optimally matched to the standard four-speed auto transmission using Nissan's DUET control system, which momentarily retards ignition timing before shifting to minimise shift shock. The fuel tank capacity is 80 litres and claimed city/highway fuel consumption figures are 14.0 and 10.0 L/100km respectively.
