G'day guru's , newbies, and fanatics.
Recently returned to a GQ after surviving 7 years with a Mitsubishi Delica.
The Delica cost me more repairs in 7 years and 60,000km than every other I've ever owned in 40 years combined.
Worst thing I ever did was sold the original GQ - knew it was a mistake, but didn't realise how big a mistake.
Spent a bit of time on Patrol 4x4 with the first GQ, but this seems a better forum with more information regarding mods and repairs, so - give it a go. Modded the GQ;s 4 speed auto into a "H" pattern stick shift with TC lockup in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/nissan-patrol-gq-y60-ford-maverick-11/gq-automatic-manual-override-h-shift-converter-lockup-24857/
The new GQ is a manual 4.2 efi 97 model with impco gas. 240km and pretty clean/straight.
Other than fixing the poor work done by shop mechanics it's in pretty good nick.
Hope to share info, learn and help.
