    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Maybe its age? But yeah its pretty cheap. I paid 17k for my GUII with the 3ltr a couple of years ago and anything of the same but with the TD42 was an extra 10k!

    If anyone is up Brisbane way perhaps they could check it out? Potentially a bargain for someone.

    So no photos then, or can you only see them if you're a member there?

    I reckon it's been used and abused and is in a sorry state

    Geez Clunk, such negativity. You really should stop slapping that purple belly of yours you old hippo. There are no photos in the post, but it does say quite clearly in the post “Photos by email" . It also says it has never been off road, & was set up to tow a van. It is a predominantly grey nomad forum, my guess is that having got a bigger van, & an Iveco to tow it with, they have had the motor rebuilt after dropping the hose & now just want it out of their way. I could of course be wrong, but having posted up here what I consider to be a potential bargain for someone, I find it a little disappointing to see it being treated as though it’s otherwise without any evidence.
    In the hope of providing someone here with a good buy, I’ll try contacting the seller & ask for photos & permission to post them here. (as well as giving them a link to this thread).

    Katwoman, I don't think its particularly cheap, more realistic, and a true market value. Some of the prices I have seen for 4.2's are disgraceful, some people have forgotten that something is only worth what someone will pay. The reason I am selling it is I no longer need it, I have bought an Iveco to tow my new Caravan, and that was the sole reason for buying the patrol in the first place, I have upgraded our present van to a bigger heavier unit, 3.5Ton, and will also cart 250 liters of water and 240 liters of diesel in the back of the truck, as well as the usual 80 liter fridge freezer, and the 70 kilos of extra batteries, and the other brick a brack you need for the grey nomad life on the road. The patrol wont carry that weight, poor thing would break its back. Hope that answers your question.
