Same Engine & gearbox as fitted to Nissan Civilian Buses up until about '91. I have an '89. I have the full factory workshop manuals so if you have specific questions PM me & I can try my best to answer them. I don't think Patrols had the ED33 but instead had the SD33....... but I am not 100% certain on that.
Good torque but not powerful is a good description. Our GVM is 5.2t & our weight 4.9t ready to roll. We travelled around Australia with the additional weight of an enclosed trailer containing a couple of motorcycles at an average speed of around 80kph, but were often down to walking pace on steep hills (e.g. back road into Maleny where we needed 1st low).
