Thanks for the info peeps. Probably better off getting the alloy than continue toe repair the old style.

FWIW mine came with an alloy from previous owner (unknown brand) and kept falling apart on the local rough roads. Changed to a local brass for over say 4 years now without issue and are comfortable in the knowledge I can fix it myself out there if ever needed. Was told that alloy is more efficient though so opted for a very open/spread core brass that seems to be working great. Can get the core model number if you need for secondary quotes mate?

That would be good. Natrad say mine is full of holes yet it doesn't leak from anywhere except the filler neck. They couldn't find any replacements tanks and want to fabricate new radiator

My local builder also plumbed the bottom end from passenger side across to gain as much water crossing as possible.

In their stock form (yanky trucks) I believe our 6.5 Chev’s have the TS top housing facing opposite so this is not needed for crossflow. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/06/181.jpg Disregard my thermo fans, awesome in the slow bush tracks but not much chop on the highway hauling.

A better radius bend bottom pipework setup would have been nicer though if done again!

Hi all. I have just acquired a 2001 patrol wagon with a 6.5 turbo chev. I have been doin a bit of reading about them and found out that there is a stronger version of the motor called the p400. How exactly do i know if i have a p400 or not?
Keen to find out what i have.
Motor installed in 2013 and has about 45000 on it now.
It was a new crate engine.
Thanks!!
The P400 has a reinforced bearing girdle so is approx 3" taller than the Optimiser or earlier 6.5. @poindexter is installing one into a GU ute right now, so should be able to give you more clarity. Failing that do a google search and I think the difference is obvious. I would be surprised if you had the P400 as they are more difficult to fit than the other engines. I have the Optimiser n/a fitted to a GQ

Have a look at this clip, especially around the 1min 40 mark. It shows the engine in detail and the extended bottom girdle
