Just bought this beauty 5 weeks ago from a local deisel mechanic that had swapped it himself after his previous TB45 engine blew. The car has a silver top TD out of a GQ with 200kms on it which matches the body. He had the car for 13yrs as a second owner.



For my first patrol I think it's a solid start. Comes with after market turbo, intercooler and recon pump with heavy duty clutch aswell as foxwing and iron man awning on the tracklander roof rack. It's got two 100w Narva spotties sitting on a ARB bullbar. Has an Tuffdog suspension setup on 33 mud terrains.

I'm looking to further upgrade the car with bigger tyres and a lot more electrical features on the interior to make driving it much more enjoyable.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/336.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/337.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/338.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/339.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/340.jpg

Nice ride man! Just make sure you keep an eye on the wheel nuts on those alloy wheels. They are known for working lose. Or get rid of them and get some decent steelies.

Looks pretty tidy should last you a while

But I've kept those the alloy nuts on the steelies, been looking for some black ones to replace themhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/341.jpg

I got some from Mudski from his ebay store if you're still looking for some he might be a good start.

Decided to strip out the rear interior of the wagon as from the photos you can see it had been destroyed by the previous owner using it as a work truck. Was able to find a wrecking 2000 gu that had a mint interior and was able to grab all of it for $150.

I'm awaiting a bit of cash to get some dynamat to fit the rear out while I have it all stripped and then put the new interior back in with ithttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/345.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/346.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/347.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/08/348.jpg
