Hello peeps hows it all going? I am selling my Audi A4 and will be buying a decent Nissan Patrol GQ when one comes available. I live in the Northern Part of Norway and want something bigger. I grew up in the Middle East in Nissan Patrols on the sand dunes and they were ace so im looking for a 1992 to 1998 GQ. In norway the most common ones are the 2.8L TD5spd manual.

I also have a 1997 skyline with a RB25det modified which i cannot drive in norway cause of tax reasons so i migh also be considering geting a swb GQ and converting it to a RB25det so i shall be quite active on the forum once i get the audi sold :)

Nice meeting you all and hope we can all share our experiances

Hey Simon

Welcome to the forum. Many Nissan Patrol owners in Australia have a sticker near their tow hitch which reads TOYOTA RECOVERY VEHICLE ;)

Take care out there.
