2004 GU Patrol ZD30 TD

[GQBIGRIG]

We took the plunge after I purchased a GQ earlier in the year, It was time to offload the Hyundai Getz to the Inlaws and upgrade to the GU. I have been looking a long time and this car popped up and I had to have it.
1 Owner full service history from the city. This Patrol looks like it has never seen mud and was clearly used to tow a caravan. At 10 years old, 95,000km and an interior which looked as good as the outsite (no one must have ever sat in the rear). The missus and I snapped it up. All the mod it has is an Anti Rust electronics, 40channel CB, IPF? Spotties and new tyres!

I will post some more pictures but here it is!

Does anyone have a price figure for the 100,XXX Service?

Thanks fellas looking forward to modding it up!

Hi Ben,

Looks fairly clean for its age Well Done

100,000 is a normal service from Nissan and will be around $300 - $330.

Big ones are 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, etc .....

Thanks Happygu,

As per the book it states 100,XXX is timing belt time.. are you sure it is at 120?


EDIT:

Just realised with further searching that it has a chain and gears which are meant to last the life of the engine! Awesome!

Bit of an update.

So I have it booked in next friday to KustomFix Morphett vale to change all filters and fluids throughout. After they re-open after Christmas I will be getting the NADS mods installed.

Looking for a roof rack tradesman style. As we do alot of kayaking and fishing. Anyone had much problems with the fleabay ones?

Nice clean example for sure gotta love the '04
you can convert your bullbar to suit a winch too

Hi mate just be careful what you buy from eBay in the way of racks as some rust internally and drop the rust onto the roof, IMHO you would be better off buying rhino racks for the canoe, or a tracklander then you won't go wrong.

If you guys had $9000. What would you spend it on first in a stock 4x4? Thats $9000 fitted.

This could go anywhere, so first what do you want to use it for, weekends away and camping out of it.
Or weekend weapon with 35" tyres and twin lockers.
First up NADS, then chip and exhaust along with a tigged intercooler when yours starts leaking.
A decent double din head unit with GPS, blue tooth ETC. Upgrade your speakers 6.5 will fit.
rear wind deflector and side visors , window tint, Rassler rear bar. the list goes on and on and on and on and on

I would probably buy somthing for $100 from a 4X4 shop in brisbane and use the balance to drive over and pick it up! I'd fit the item myself.

Nice idea, I'll think about that one

$650 later with all fluids dropped and replaced including fuel filter and air filter. Says its a great rig and no issues with it.

Still working on the rear drawers. All cut, will be picking up my 90kg sliders tomorrow and putting it together. Dummy up all the holes and fit the sliders prior to carpeting it incase it needs some modifications.
Will post pictures soon

So far with the ply, sliders and carpet I've spent $300. Still deciding on what locks to use. I saved money by not using marine ply but 16mm ply for most of the construction and 20mm ply for the fridge slide. The drawer slides are not lockable (Lockable ones are about $3-400 as per the other lads build). I thought well its not likely to get 'too wet' even if I go through rivers eventually (I hope). Time will tell!

Total build cost should be well under $400.
