Nissan patrol gu gutless

[rissile86]

I'm having troubles with my newly bought 03 patrol.

Runs a bit rough on startup for about 30 seconds, which i have ignored, but first time today up some fairly steep hills, and i litereally couldnt get up them, i had to go in 4wd low range 1st gear to get up. This is obviously not normal. Tital loss of power.

Any suggestions on what can be wrong?

Any good mechanics north if Brisbane i can take it too ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Rhys

No worries , all done

Good stuff what mods have you had done , exhaust???
Is your intercooler oily????
First thing I would do is dis connect the battery
Then remove the MAF sensor and clean it with some proper Maf cleaning spray
Dis connecting the battery will re set the ECU.
Hopefully this will sort most of your problems, well hopefully lol
any warranty???

Hmmmm... not good.

Rough idle on start when there is no boost and then no guts on boost.
Def time for a leak down test

Who did you buy it from?
If it is under any sort of warranty get it straight back to them...

I got it privately and didnt really check it as good as i should of. I took the intercooler cover off and looks there is traces of oil down one side. Should i upload a photo ? Its got a 3 inch exhaust and the roo systems chip .

Oil usually indicates a leaky IC dont worry they all leak and will need a tigged replacement IC.
You'll also need to control your boost, [READ NADS] if your plans are to use it as a tourer
I would be fitting a boost and egt gauge along with a catch can and a Dawes valve/needle valve.
Give Mudski a PM he'll be able to sort you out

so IC meaning intercooler right ? Sorry i'm a total newby . If so would this be the major problem you think ?

[threedogs]

Yes IC is intercooler if its leaking it will not be holding boost imo
