The best engine was the y60 Rb30et
The most reliable was the pre 1993 TD42
The most fuel efficient was the RD28T
The most powerful was the TB42
The worst engine was the post 1993 TD42 as it was a redesigned casting that although made it more efficient and rev higher the down side was it was weaker.

I thought the year was vague as some early blacktops were the same as the earlier silvertops?

Silver top/ black top denotes whether it was assembled by Nissan Motor Co or its heavy commercial division UD trucks. who assembled the patrols for military use.

the year is not vague.

it was 1993, but depending on what engine stocks was located at what assembly plants around depended on what patrol got what engine.

Some pre 93 got the lighter engine as they arrived from japan and some post 93 still got the earlier block until that stock was used up.
