patrol

I'm reaching out to the community for some help. I have a 1977 Nissan Patrol that I'd like to restore. If anyone has a repair manual or any restoration tips, please share. Thanks in advance!

Any precautions to take when washing the undercarriage of my Patrol Y61 as well as in and around the inner wheel arches using a pressure washer? Ive been on quite an adventure this past weekend and there's a lot of dirt accumulated there... Cheers!

So, I know I'm going to get flamed for starting a new thread on this very common topic but I can't seem to find the exact and specific info I need. I'm looking to buy my first 4WD, leaning towards a GU patrol, and needed a little help regarding which model and what to look out for. I'm 22 and...

Recently installed a Domin8r X winch into my 80 series on a winch cradle I fab'd up to sit behind my ARB Non-Winch bar. As the cradle bolts to the bottom of the chassis the winch sits quite low compared to the front of the bar so I have flipped the winch around so it pulls from the top, but...

Hi all, Since I get my P's later on this year, it's coming up to buying my own set of wheels. I've got roughly $6k all up and was wondering what everyones thoughts were. I probably can't have something little. (Sierra or Jimny) considering I'm only 16 and stand at 185cm and weigh in at 113kg...

Looking to purchase a new 4WD, and deciding between an early 100 series cruiser and a GU from around the same year. Budget is $6k-$10k, and it needs to be an auto. Will probably end up with a petrol model due to budget. Would like to know what people think are the main differences, particularly...

G’day guys, I’m curious on which accessories are interchangeable between the different models of the GU Patrol. I have a 98 gu, and pretty much wanted to know if the scrub bars, side steps and a rear bar off newer patrols would fit. I’ve got a bullbar off a 2005 one on mine but that was just a...

Hi there, I've been looking around and seen quite a few 3.0 turbo diesel Gu patrol's in my price range (up to $6,000) and they look in decent shape. One I have found is a '01 with the five-speed manual and a few mods on it (decent 4wd tires, roof-rack, awning, high-lift jack) and 300k on the...

Hello everyone, This is my first post on 4x4 earth but have used it many times in the past for research into the 4x4 world. I'm only new to it all and was wondering can you have a 3-inch exhaust on your 4bie legally (I am also on my Red Ps if that makes a difference). I know many people have...

I am in the market for an Alternator since mine has fried itself after washing giving it a light wash. For a Genuine Nissan one is 2,500 and 969 from Patrol Part. No chance I will be paying that much. So what is the next best reliable brand? Not necessarily after cheap. Would rather pay a...

Hi All, I took my 2007 Nissan Patrol (3.0 Diesel) for its first service (120km) since owning the vehicle. I just took it to the local mechanic in Wynnum (Brisbane) as they seemed to have good reviews, pretty convenient etc. His service seemed very good and alot cheaper than the Nissan dealer...

Hi All, I purchased my 2007 Nissan Patrol (3.0 Diesel) about 6 months ago and today I took it for its first service since owning the vehicle (120km service). The service cost $690 and they did everything required, such as replacing fluids and filters etc. They also mentioned the below 3...

Hi All, I'm not sure if this was the correct place to post this question.. I am going for a quick one night camp this weekend and wanted to experiment with sleeping in my 2007 Nissan Patrol, which still have the back seats. The setup needs to be temporary, so i was thinking along the lines of...

Hi All, I recently purchased at 2007 Patrol and its due for a service at 115km, currently its about 114km. Is it recommended to take it for a service at Nissan or should I try find a 4x4 service centre / mechanic? Cheers, Robbie

Hi All, I purchased a 2007 Nissan Patrol (3.0L diesel) about 2 months ago with 112,000 kms and it drives great! Yesterday we went camping and when I returned, I spray the underside of the car with a sprinkler for about 10mins. No heavy driving, maybe 10kms of gravel road at most. Today I...

Hi All, I recently purchased a 2007 Nissan Patrol GU with 113k on the clock. I think the last service was done at 110k and the next one is due at 115k. Is it worth learning to service my own vehicle every 5k or is it worthwhile taking to to a mechanic, who may be able to find things i wouldn't...

Hello all, I am planning on getting my first 4x4. My girlfriend and I are hoping to camp in it long term. We are from the UK but are landing in Perth this November. The main controller of what we get is the budget. We are looking at 10000 AUD to be the top end of our budget for the car. It...

Wondering if anyone has installed a gang Rocker switch in a Hilux LN106 or 167 and where they did... Decodedto buy this really nice gang switch from eBay to tidy up the dash and give me some USB power but struggling to find a space to install it... Also I don't have an overhead console...
