Happy owner of GUII

[stripey]

Hi All

Purchased my first Nissan Patrol a couple of days ago, thought it was about time I got on here.

I had been looking for a manual patrol for a while and after having 5 inspected with varying responses from mechanics none of which where good for the wallet.
Reluctantly I had this one inspected I say reluctant because it is an auto but when report came back and only issue was blown brake light I couldn't pass it up
especially when it was $15,000 and the car yards still sell 200,000km vehicles for upwards of $18,000

2001 GUII ST
ZD30
Auto
Bronze
148,000km
Dual Battery's
No Modifications.. yet.

I have on order a couple of parts already that should give me some reliability being known as the hand grenade
3" Turbo back exhaust
EGR block
Dawes and needle valve kit
provent catch can
pyro gauge
boost gauge
pillar pods

Have already changed out factory head unit for an after market job, quick and easy with iso plugs
went pioneer with the mvh x565bt digital media receiver (No cd player) complete solid state no moving parts.
even picks up SW radio as my dad found out when he was playing with it goes from 3000 kilohertz to 21000 kilohertz
was able to listen to an american radio talk back show just on the factory antenna whilst on the move.

anyhow here are some pics

Welcome Stripey. She looks well looked after. You have obviously done your homework on the engine mods. If you can I'd add a monster intercooler to the list, makes a noticeable difference.

Hello and welcome X 2 on the intercooler I would say your OE one would be leaking[oily]
Not sure a $1300 IC is worth it but a tigged OE units works fine IMO.
Clean looking Patrol must be happy with that, service auto yearly you'll be fine

I've got my eye on a tigged OE unit $300 that's all I need to stop boost leak, not after huge power figures just after reliability

Just out of curiosity just went to local exhaust shop and got a quote for a full 3inch exhaust only one they had was a red back unit and they wanted $2000 for it is that a fair price because I certainly did not

[Pokey]

That sounds a bit pricey. Try Scotts Rods for a better price. They are on this forum
