    96 Nissan Patrol GQ II RX 2.8L Turbo Diesel

    I just bought this car from the original owner, an 85 year old diesel fitter from Goulburn. Its done 411,000km including 19 trip to Perth ?!?! All the maintenance has been done to it over the years and it seems to be running well.

    Does anyone know how far one of these can go before getting a rebuild?

    It should run for a million kms before the rebuilt if it is given the required TLC.

    Very nice Bus mate. I had to rebuild my 95 model @ 345xxx kms. Only because the water pump failed and I cooked it. But as the others have said, if you keep up the preventative maintainence, you should get plenty more km's out of the old girl!
