Well, I'm a bit confused. Is the concensus that petrol in the diesel isn't a good mix whereas two-stroke at about 200:1 is? I'm happy to try the oil - as one writer said, it's just oil into oil. A...

Thanks guys. It's good to know others are out there. I'm about to attempt the glow plugs (winter in the Adelaide Hills is pretty hard in the mornings) so I hope I won't turn my Nissan into a Lada

Incidentally, the glow plug specs state that there are two banks - Cylinders 1, 2 and 3 and Cylinders 4, 5 and 6. Is there some esoteric scheme for determining which ones these are or do they just...

hi Mr Noss. I'm about to attempt changing the glow plugs on my GQ RX 2.8TD. I'm pretty worried as I haven't ever attempted anything this mechanical. Do the rails need insulators? Or, since I...

Thanks Tim - is that to make my car louder or to make the ex-cons feel at more home? Actually, now that I live in the country and only drive to work once a week, I don't have to toot anyone. Still,...

Hi Forum. Well, after 6 weeks, the satellite company finally installed our Internet. We've had to drive to Mt Barker and visit McDonalds to use their WiFi each time we've wanted to pay bills or...

Thanks for that Tony. The snorkel might make its way down the list of priorities.

Hell of a wagon. Great pics, too. It's a long way away before I'll risk my neck doing that :)

Hi. I'm not planning on taking the GQ off either sealed roads or at most, the occasional hard packed dirt road for some time. Is there any need to fit a snorkel until I'm planning some real 4WD...

Thanks for that, DM. I'll do a bit of photoshopping. I thought we only had to be afraid of parking inspectors?

Thanks Tony. I appreciate the advice as well as the warning. We had to toot a non-Nissan 4X4 the other day who thought that having twice the engine capacity meant that she could occupy two lanes as...

Did I mention the gallon of Armour All I had to wipe off everything - dash, mats, windows, anything in fact that wasn't actually fabric was treated with it. The outside acts as a fuzz magnet,...

yay, it works now. Why didn't the first ones do that? And how can I embed the pic directly into the post, as some have done, rather that enter it as an attachment?

Are these pics any better?

Ok, I admit that I know even less about computers than cars - how can I make the images open up or load them properly in the first place so they do!

Hi. My partner & I just bought a '95 Patrol 2.4 GQ2 RX Turbo-D. We're moving from Adelaide up into the hills and needed a vehicle that could pull decent trailers and could actually overtake...

You've done well with where you've been and what you've seen. I'm brand new into 4WD (if you don't count big Army trucks in years past - someone else always drove them, I just sat in the back and...

Very nice setup. I love the divided and drawered back. You have things I've never seen before, such as the twin spare wheel rig. Ingenious work.

cheers

Thanks for the welcome, y'all. I came here to find a manual but I'm happy to stay to see what people are up to, to join in and to learn (even if I don't understand 1/4 of what everyone is saying). ...

And how much range do they have, compared with HF radios if I'm outback somewhere? Ie, should I go for the 'Convoy' glamour or take something which'll actually save my ass?

Does anybody still use CB radio these days or am I just showing my age?

Thnaks for putting me on, Todd. Most SatNavs can't even find Kanmantoo so I'm glad you could :)

Hi. I've got a 1995 Patrol GQ2 RX Turbo-D. The Rear window wiper doesn't work although the rear window washer does. The fuses seem fine. Is there anything I can do to check if the problem is...

Hi Todd. Can you please add me in Kanmantoo, South Australia. Cheers.

Hi. Just bought a 1995 Patrol GQ2 RX Turbo-D. On the advice of my partner (a former diesel user from Europe), I put Valvoline Diesel injector and fuel cleaner into the tank. Has anyone used this,...
