    as ET said in the other thread
    you have a CRD - so a Scan Gauge would be better for you

    have a look here, or go to scan Gauge them selves

    Thanks a lot bigcol. I'm not familiar with scan gauges so that's why I was wondering if there was an alternative. Do you or ET have some tips on how the scan gauge should be fitted and what the best version would be suitable?
    Thanks again!

    my understanding is they are a Plug and Play mate. they plug into the service port and give you a Heap of real time info on Boost, EGT, etc. I don't know much about them but i checked out the one in Growlers on a trip and was pretty impressed with the info he had at hand. Id go that way for sure!!

    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.

    Not sure it give you real time EGTs, but most other would be available.
    Not sure where ppl mount them [Scan-Gauge] but my Ecu-Talk is mounted in front of the dash cluster
    About the onlt things I cant see is the trip meter and Clock,
    I think the Scan-gauge is a tad more slender

    Scangauge mounted in the little compartment under dash. Fit perfectly.

    Awesome thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Which version of the Scangauge is best suited for the patrol please? Also I was interested in getting a EGT gauge, just to keep an eye on the temps.

    Scangauge doesn't do egt.. only the boost and other things..
    Personally I've got the scangauge 2.
    But also have egt, boost and oil pressure gauges..
    Cheers
