Thread: patrol 5 speed onto isuzu

Pretty sure LRO has a Nissan box, not sure if it's from a Patrol.

couldn't see anything on there web site

Hi
I do have a nissan 5sp box behind the isuzu. I think it is from a patrol, but from one from the 80,s MQ or something like that.

Hi LRO, I think MQ box is the same as the GQ, did you do the job your self, how dose it go is it better than than a lt 380

dose it have a custom bellhousing, and how is it mated to the transfer

cheers mark

A mate did this in the late 80s or early 90s, an ex army Series 3 but he put Stage 1 panels, so it looked quite neat. It was painted bright yellow and said the Big Banana on the vents on the front, I don't know what happened to it as he sold it not long after finishing it.

Hi Lambrover

It was allready set up like that when i bought it. I will try and take some photos and post them up. I will be passing though Townsville in the June School Holidays on the way to the cape if you want to have a look let me know. As for how it goes it is good, but i can not seem to get passed 110km/h. this is more to do with the engine not reving high

Andrew at LRA was getting the adaptors made, patrol 5 speed to LT230

About 5 years back i was sure someone was making a patrol 5 speed kit for petrol rangerovers. You had to shift the transfercase back about 6 inches to make it all fit.
Can't remember who it was though.
