I love my 4.8 gu but I'd go a gq over a 3L any day. Just can't trust a 3L there is a reason they are so cheap. If ur looking at a gu there are only 2 options 1. 4.8 not to expensive a bit thirsty but u can run them on gas( mine on gas is cheaper to run then my old mans 200 v8 diesel). 2. Or you fork out the money and buy a TD42 turbo intercooled( unforchanitly this wasn't an option for me because I need an auto thanks to my bung left nee and I didn't have the money either)
Yea for our future plans a petrol would not have suited.. towing a 20foot van would have showen some good figures... :rolleyes:
So yea, that's why we kept the td42. Sure it won't be quick, but the old girl is still returning 12L/100 loaded for camping, and 16/100 towing a 1.2T camper trailer..

I would swap. But only for comfort reasons.. I'm no short ass and my kids ain't either, so the extra seating room would be nice..
I would never push it as hard as I do my Q though, in fear of scratching the plastic... :p

Great thread guys and I had a good laugh.
If I could afford a GU, I would buy a MQ/K and strip it down and totally rebuild it. Brand new MQ would be awesome.
It's pretty clear all car manufacturers including Nissan have been getting worse with their Vehicles over the past few decades. The Y62 Patrol is not as good as the Y61 (GU) which is not as good as the Y60 (GQ) which is not as good as the (160) MQ/K.
Well case closed then. Awesome videos have to show the brother in law. :D
