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.

I laughed when I read this, as I found a 10mm spanner, a small screw driver and about a dozen nuts and washers in the valley under the manifold when I stripped everything down recently. I am yet to find a 13mm socket though, maybe this is the next generation universal upgrade to the 10mm?????

You can't blame working on the GQ for loosing the 13mm. I bet there isn't a single 13mm nut on the Patrol as Japanese folks are very superstitious and have something against that number. When I replaced the GU engine, all medium sized bolts and nuts were either 12mm or 14mm, which made it quite handy having only two sockets on the pocket.

Well obviously I fucked up a few thousand times using a 13mm spanner then???

Or maybe bolts you replaced. Sometimes you go to to the HW store with a japanese car bolt as a sample, and for the size and thread pitch you want, the head size is different.
