No id say go buy one then you will never buy another
I've had impure thoughts ..
That I bought a Nissan Patrool 3.0TD
Will I need ask for forgiveness ( Repent )
On that Note I am still thinking about Nissan GQ Diffs on the Rear of Rangie with factory diff locks.
No id say go buy one then you will never buy another
So True Chris;
Just thoughts at this stage Althou have a mate whom after spending close to 10k on his grenade engine is now selling his patrool , quite ironic really because the whole time we travelled to cape york kept taking the **** out of the disco tdi saying how poxy they are bla bla bla... Patrol King of the road bla bla bla.
A mate of mine sold his Tdi Defender and bought a stock as TD42 GU
He reckons its a gutless heap of poo compared to the 2.5 Tdi
He reckons the Tdi would run rings around the big pile of jap crap
No he is not impressed with performance and ride , but he loves the elbow and leg room in the cab
DO
Many's the time that pick up my gf and her 2 girls plus bits and pieces and say "I should have bought the Patrol" - It was a very nicely kept GU TD42T "Walkabout", but was about 8 grand more than I wanted to spend...but, oh, the room!

I know my Tdi D1 is faster taking off than the work 4.2 turbo intercooled patrol ute. I was only taking off with about half throttle into a 100 zone and the patrol was flat chat and i was pulling away. The 3 inch exhaust changes them a lot and makes them a closer match to the D1.
IF I wanted a bigger vehicle, then a TD42T 04 or so age Patrol would be in the driveway.
BUT, they are characterless and I would die of boredom driving it.
SO, I'm keeping the Rangie/s and watching the patrols rust away around me..and the 3.0l ones melt pistons...
Still, shorty only paid $5k for his, a good buy it was too for an accessorised 4.2diesel LWB.
If you HAVE to get one, get a 4.2 diesel one. You can't break them with a big stick, as long as you keep the bodies from falling apart
