Could be the syncros mate but when was the last oil change.
I would be doing the oil change first with good quality and see if that helps first.

Mine has always done this. - 02 Series 3 ZD. Never worried about it. Never need to use 1st gear until you come to a complete stop anyway....

Yep, I would go with the oil change first. Make sure you use a GL4 oil not a GL5. A GL 5 will completely stuff your syncros, and it will do it quite quickly. Go here for a read: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...oil-GL4-vs-GL5
