Wattsy's 1990 High-roof GQ Wagon
Hey everyone, this is my 1990 Nissan GQ Patrol High-roof wagon. Purchased it last weekend with 262000 k's on the clock, TB42 auto with petrol/gas, factory extras included a sun roof, rear drop sway bar and rear diff lock. Only mods I found were an aftermarket long-range fuel tank and Bilstein shockies. Plan on turning it into a capable tourer, put some 2" lifted springs in it yesterday and plan on a snorkel, 33's, a false floor set up in the back and waterproofing the dizzy before I take it out on the tracks. All help will be greatly appreciated!!
The day I bought it

Hey mate, there is a tiny bit on the edge yes, and a little bit at the top of the front windscreen but certainly repairable!

Looks great , my mate fitted a compressor from a set of air horns in the engine bay and drilled a hole in the side of the dizzy.
He had some arrangement to lower the pressure,
Everytime he did a water crossing or similar he would hit the toggle switch and pressurize to dizzy so no water would enter.
Never failed him once, I had a similar set up an a HEI dizzy
Always wanted a GQ diesel auto, how do they go??
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Hey mate, this one is a TB42 Petrol, haven't really been able to test it yet, the alternator failed on the weekend so I've been tracking down another one! Keen to set it up before I do any tracks

Got myself an alternator Friday and fitted it that night ready for a trip to the snow on Saturday!! Gave the 4wd and factory rear locker a workout in some deeper than expected snow and all worked well!
