Patrol in PNG - TD42

[Stropp]

So this is a 2012 vehicle in PNG ... how does that compare to the Australian revisions? Are you saying that there is a later revision in Australia? Where do they differ?

Yeh mate late 2004 the body shape changed slightly and the flares also changed with the shape, it's still current now, the one you have is the previous shape and flares, check the difference in this pic to yours, easiest way is the flares, the earlier ones won't fit this body shape so although they look similar they are different.

Thanks for the reply with the pic. I can see the difference now. Interesting that Nissan would maintain the two "shapes" as current. Surely that must increase the overall cost for them. It would be no problem to have the new shape in PNG also, but keep the TD42 motor.
