UPDATE: Sorry about the questions to verify yourselves guys when you sign up. We are just getting loads of spammers, robots and people from overseas signing up creating adverts and chucking links to bad sites, etc.

We decided to create question and answers that only Aussies would "SHOULD" know unless of course you research the answers online but as we all know, spammers are lazy!

If you are having problems answering the registration question or any general problems with registering, modifying profiles or anything just please contact us (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/contact-us.html) and we will reply promptly!

[AB]

Also, if your a newbie please introduce yourself in our introductions section (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?2-Introductions) so we can meet you and help you with any questions.

Hi Andy,

It is years since I had a Nissan Patrol ... was a 3 litre on gas/petrol. Am now buying another GQ 4.2l gas/petrol. Many ks.... but hey these vehicles never say die ... and the bodies last "forever". However, I will need some spares and advice ... so here I am.

[AB]

Welcome Bernard, good to see you back in a Patrol.

Feel free to ask any questions you have mate.

We also have a wanted section at the bottom of the main page so post the parts you need there and see what happens.

Enjoy!

[patch697]

G/day Bernard & welcome..... Mate start a thread in the Introductions section of the forum & tell the members a bit about yourself. Its a good way to get to know us all.

Glad to here your back in a Patrol mate.

Cheers
Paul

[Gaz]

Thanks for the welcome Andy. I've had my (sometimes) beloved 89 GQ for about 11 years. Had a few issues over that time. The current one being a worrying hi frequency intermittent vibration from the drive train. My gut feeling is a rear wheel bearing since they've never been looked at (by me at least). The car has done 289000.

[AB]

No Problems Gaz.

Post your question up in the "Engine and Drive Train" section here http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?17-Engine-and-Drivetrain

And see what help the members can offer you.

Mates , is there a possibility to use personalized avatars, like self made 95x95 pixel pictures ? or shall we stick only with those created by you ?

[patch697]

Mates , is there a possibility to use personalized avatars, like self made 95x95 pixel pictures ? or shall we stick only with those created by you ?

You cam use your own Avatar by simply going to the top of the screen click on settings, on the lef hand side of the page click "EDIT AVATAR" then you will see a button that says CUSTOM AVATAR with option 1 & option 2.

Option 1: click the CUSTOM AVATAR button so its checked then enter the URL of the image you want to use then go to the SAVE CHANGES button & click it before you exit.

Option 2: Do the same as option 1 except for option 2 you use the browse to locate the file on your computer that contains the image you wish to use & once you've made your selection then simply hit the SAVE CHANGES button & you should be done.

Post back here if you have any problems & we will take it from there.


Cheers
Paul

[Gabriel Chowah]

Hi All,

I'm Gabriel Chowah and I live in Southern Africa, Botswana to be precise. I own a 2nd or 3rd hand Nissan Patrol, 2003 model which I love to bits. Anyways, I seem to have a couple of issues with it at the moment which I will post and hopefully get assistance, advice, etc with. For now it's good to join a community of owners of some of the best performance vehicles available.

[Donbar]

Hi Andy,how do I look at all my replies without going back to my original thread.Thanks

[AB]

Hi mate, if you click on your name where you posted above it gives you some options, just click on "view forum posts" and then you can see where you have replied, etc...

[katwoman]

Hi Andy,how do I look at all my replies without going back to my original thread.Thanks

Hi donbar, if you want to see your posts, you can go to your profile and under your avatar go to 'see all posts'. Or something to that affect. There is a 'see all started threads' button as well, I think.

If you find the section you need, at the top left it will say 'start new thread.' try that.

As katwoman has stated but would also be worth startnig a new thread in the introductions section just to say gdday and introduce your self. This will also assist you in receiving a response to your problems. However welcome to the forum mate.

[Binky]

Thank you for accepting my membership. I'm Binky from Manila and a returnee to 4WD after 15 years. Slowly restoring to weekend off-road condition another locally manufactured GQ with the TD42.

Was into 4WD (GQ) and rallying (AE101) in the mid-80s-to-90s until fatherly duties caught up to prevail and the sale-off of a then fully-geared GQ was done. Having been "away", I was hoping to slowly get back into familiarizing, replacing and servicing the unit back to tip-top shape with the help and advise of most members. And I believe it starts with a SERVICE MANUAL.

With everyones permission I may be posting inquiries, possibly technical questions, parts upgrades and availability in regards to the build-up as it goes.

Thank you once again.

Hi Andy I am having promblems figuering out how to upload photos onto my profile and onto threads, would you please guide me in the right direction.

Hey bro

I think most of us use photobucket and use the smallest photo setting, then copy and paste.

Hope this helps

[brooks]

Hi DX grunt thanks for that info, i had a whole bunch of photos on here already but cant seem to find them or find the actual link on this site to upload any new ones. Can I only upload them threw new threads now or can I add to them to my profile, as that is how I did it before and had different albems.

Hey mate, slip over to the introduction section and throw up a g'day with some info on you and the truck (and happy snaps, we love our happy snaps!! lol). No harm done mate, but something we ask for on here to keep things civil and let everyone know who they're yakking with - you'll find you get a better response to your question also as most people don't read these threads and would miss the question.

That all said, welcome aboard mate and hope you join in and have a ball!!
