personally, i would go for a 2.7 every time. The engine it was designed and built for. Rather than one 'shoe-horned' in out of another vehicle, with all this issues it can bring.
but others may disagree

the 3.0 tdi zd originated in the y61 patrol around 2000MY.
when its good its very good, but when it isnt.... to be fair by time terrano gained it as an option the main issues had been ironed out. having had one in a troll, and funded nissan's research lol i'm more than happy with the 2.7 in the terrano which is my second. ok zd makes more power, but the 2.7 can keep up by use of the loud pedal. need to remember that that bit of economy might not be achieved as might play with it more plus open heart surgery is more complicated and the booked time for say head gasket is 13 hours versus 7 on 2.7 which will add up if a garage is doing work etc. even the thermostat is a pig as its located at bottom of engine compared to at top on 2.7....
