    Hello! I have a project car and am confident you can help! Not sure why my 60 had 4 windows in the back. I live in Colombia and have seen many with 2 windows (in the doors) but no others with the 4? What have I got?

    From the specs you have posted the GU mk2 runs from 2004 until now, but it is also known as a GUII to GUVII and I see people talking about the GU 8, which some have suggested refers to the new one to be released with redesigned body etc.
    Where do all the sub variants of the MK2 start and finish?
    Do you know if the GU8 is the same as the existing shape or is it for the new shape to be released?
    Sorry in advance if I missed something in the thread that explains this.

    This is also a big doubt I have...

    60, 160, 260, Y60/GQ, Y60/GQ II, Y61/GU, Y61/GU4 ...

    What would be the GU2 and GU3 in that line?

    Right there in bold mate. Y61 is the common name for the Patrol produced after the Y60, us Aussies call it a GU model Patrol, in other countries it might be a Y61 Safari. Same, same. First released is the series 1, every two years or so Nissan release a new variant of that model with slight changes and upgrades, but they remain relatively the same. The first GU/ Y61 was released late 1997 and this shape went up to the series 3, or GUIII, around 2004 (i think). Then the series 4 came along (GUIV) see pic below, early GUII on left and the body change of the GUIV on right, the main cosmetic differences were the headlights (from headlight and indicator being separate to now being as one), flares on the guards are larger, larger tail lights and dash board changes. There is many other things but those are the main things. The new design Y61 GUIV went on until GU8 or 9? Then came along the Series 1 Y62...

    Thank you @mudski.

    Do you have a picture to illustrate GU1 and GU2?

    The way I see it there is original GU pre-facelift (ranging from GU1, 2 and 3 between which I can't see any difference) and the GU post-facelift (from GU4 onwards) where the only difference I noticed is the rear bumper with the 3-piece with aluminum step or single piece all plastic. Ok, to be honest there is also black headlights and black taillights but that would be too cosmetic to me to be called a new version, as it is just a color change, not a facelift.

    Very minor differences between 1 and 2. some were just slight inter trim color changes and pattern design. Series 2 they introduced the ZD30 and canned the RD2.8.
    Headlight on series 1 and some of the 2's were like below.

    Them some 2's and series 3 went to the same shape but a clear lens.

    Here are some photos of the GU I, II and III from redbook.com.au
    GU I

    GU II

    GU III


    The main thing they seemed to change was the headlights, as Mudski pointed out, and the front grille and also dropping the tiny piece of trim on the front quarter panel that extends the bumper strip along the doors.
    Depending on the model variants they also had colour coded trims, bumpers and flares, wing mirrors and different mag wheels.

    The front Nissan badge on the GU III was increased in size too

    1 and 2 on these pictures also seem to have that rubber bumperette like the GQ does.

    I reckon those two pics are overseas models, not aussie models. Its very rare you'd find a Patrol, GU or GQ in Australia with the original bumper bar. Thats the first thing that got removed when being sold from new.
