Toughest Patrol??? GQ or GU

[joey_081]

This one is going to Stir the pot!!!!!!!
So guys what is tougher, a GQ or GU?
Ever time I'm with my mates and we have a few frothies this old debate always comes out!!! I need some new facts to take to the party.
Ok we all know the 4.2L D or TD is legendary, and we all know the 2.8L TD and 3.0L TD are not!!!
So I'm talking about the other stuff other then engine!!! I read on Wikipedia that the GU was quote

"The underbody hardware (differential, CVs etc.) were significantly strengthened. Comfort levels were also increased over GQ, especially in the seating and NVH areas."

Ok boys and girls lets start the ball rolling......

[Maxhead]

Ok we all know the 4.2L D or TD is legendary, and we all know the 2.8L TD and 3.0L TD are not!!!

.

Firstly WTF!. We all know the 3.0l is legendary...LOLOLOL what's wrong with the 3.0L? better output figures then the 4.2 then you have fraction of the fuel usage compared to the 4.2. Better/Zippier driving then the slug.
Secondly, there is only one tough truck and that is the GU.


Hahaha, you started it...lolol

[joey_081]

I like the 3.0L, I think its great, but some do beg to differ. I have a 2.8 TD and I'm the first to say its not great, but its the best I could afford in a diesel GU. I agree I'm thinking GU and they look better too! But I won't cast my vote until all the facts are gathered.

So far
GU 1 - GQ 0

[lufkin]

brother inlaw has a 4.2 GQ and i have a 2.8 GU, we both agree there isnt much his 4.2 can do that my 2.8 cant, just have to realise they work differently but at the end of day are both very capable motors, as for the car itself, we both agree mine is more comfy

[joey_081]

I Agree with the cumfort factor Lufkin!!!! My mate with his 4.2D GQ reckon his diffs, gearbox and cv's are all way stronger then my GU 2.8. I'm sure he's not right, either they are the same or the GU would be stronger, otherwise why would nissan go backwards with the GU?

[AB]

GQ's have stronger gearboxes then the GU's but the GU's have stronger CV's.

There are a heaps of other differences that I'm sure will follow...

The GQ's look strong and robust and are more suited for manly men whereas the GU's have been known for their feminine appeal and grocery shopping attributes....lol

Yep, here it comes!!!

[AB]

In terms of the TD42, the earlier TD42 (silver top) in the GQ is more robust as well. Check this link out...

Although all TD42's are mint of course.

[97_gq_lwb]

Interesting about the cv's mine being 97 wonderig if it has the gu cv's has the later style wheelbearing nut.
The gq is the toughest truck look at it flexing it muscles lol.

[nissannewby]

GU have larger front diff physically no GQ had the bigger front i have a 99 GQ and its still got a GQ diff. As stated the gearboxes are slightly different GQ seems to be the tougher one there but the gu post 04 seem to have fixed this problem. The steering box is stronger in the GU although the later model GQ's have the same box fitted. In my oppinion i think it comes down to the time The GQ served its purpose for 11 yrs relatively unchanged. Where as the GU with the legendary motor combo only went for 9 yrs.

[1MadEngineer]

early GQ leaf ute! as they generally have TD42, H260 rear diff and some even had drive flanges on the front diff instead of locking hubs.
The leaf rear also can carry more weight without the chassis failing. The OP asked for 'toughest' not most capable or comfy...

[joey_081]

Ahhh got me on a technicality!!!! You would be right 1MadEngineer!!!!

What are these "drive flanges" you speak of?

tappn it

[jedskipow]

The 3l goes harder, and uses less fuel, but hook 2500 kg on the back the Gq feels much better and the TD42 is much slower but uses less fuel and is still going 500000kms later with one clutch not 15 like the GU will have.
Did the snail win the race.

GQ is heaps tuffer cause it is;-) hahahahaha

[1MadEngineer]

tappn it

The 'drive flanges' are the similar to the ones on the front of a full-time 80series, They are a fixed drive flange rather than a free wheel / locking hub. A standard nissan locking hub can only transmit ~4500 ft/lb, an auto lock ~3500-4500 depending on condition, an Aisin hub (toyota/mitsu/suzuki....) ~7500-8000ft/lb, nissan/toyota drive flanges ~7500+.

This is a no brainer, to build the toughest patrol you need an early silver top GQ, add a GU power steer box, GU front diff and then you have created the ultimate patrol. Plus a GQ just looks tougher.

GEE U GU owners are poor misguided souls ;-)

[Punderhead]

Gq's look tougher
Gu's have stronger cv's
Gq's have stronger boxes
Gu's have the 4.8 mmmmmm power!

But most importantly, both have a Nissan badge on the front. This is what makes them tough!!!

Mate, all ya gotta do to figure it out is buy a GQ, Then you'll know that all these ladies spouting of about their gu handbags are just not man enough to admit they made a mistake. :smileyvault-cute-bi

[Punderhead]

Hmmm well yes I do own a GQ and am slightly inclined that way, however dad's owns a GU, and is slightly in front in the recovery buisiness.

Then again, my GQ made it up camp road, no lockers, 2" lift and 33s, his didn't cause he wasn't game enough to try because he *sniff sniff* was scared of panel damage *cryyyy*

Yep, Gu's need to tuffen up a little I reckon!

Cheers!

[Woof]

When I bought my new 2007 3.0 CRD it came with a pink manbag which I dyed black but it made no difference....so I upgraded to a 4.2 GQ, it came with a manbag as well but it was made of barbed wire.......LOLOLOL

[snicko]

GU of course!! I'm lovin that its a "Girly" 4be as I'm a girl.......hahahahaha

Standard diffs most of the larger diffs came in the leaf spring models both GQ and GU however this is only in the rear.

[gilly81]

Gq's all the way!

[BROOZA]

GQ's are almost as good looking as myself, which is saying a lot!

[bazzad]

This thread just cracks me up. Having owned both I reckon the GQ was more practical. Loved waching first timers in the passenger seat grab that jesus bar and say WTF are you doing. And man you can pack some crap in the back. However I think the GU is just better in every way, Hell they even put a windmill on that big diesel. It gets my vote LOL.

[iht2670]

I like the look, space & ride of GU but GQ seems easier to manouver better visability ?

[ozzyboy]

Just to bring it to everyones attention, but if you look in the patrols for sale thread, you will see an influx of gu's for sale.
It is my bet, that the peeps selling these gu's, are UPGRADING to gq's.

No GUrly bits in my GQ! Wouldn't desecrate it like that!

[MC97GQ]

GQ all the way,

I hate to say it but there are 2 GU's at the local doctor getting gearbox rebuilds, no GQ's to be seen.

Now if a GU had a GQ gearbox it might almost be a Tuff Truck,(Dons Flame Proof Suit)

But way better than a Tojo, there a five here waiting to see the doctor.

[Pup Patrol]

Toughest?? from current experience gotta go GQ - lost count of the landcruisers my old GQ pulled out - who am I kidding, I haven't lost count, just run out of room on the tally sheet lol

[threedogs]

I'm a bit biased being ex TLCCV my last truck twin pro locker on 350 chev troopy, but which is tougher, no brainer the GQ, just look at all the better COMP TRUCKS, look at winners of the OUTBACK CHALLENGE. So its the GQ for me cant see a GU winning,, And pulled out many, many GQ's and GU's with the troopy and vice versa on the odd trip

Then again why do GQ comp trucks have GU front and rear diffs grafted on, [width]????????????????????????

MAY ITS A MARRAIGE MADE IN HEAVEN???????????????


WHY NOT PUT A VOTING POLL GRAPH AT THE START like the footy one

[DX grunt]

This thread isnt for sitting on the fence lol GQ is the go :P

GQ's are F.O.R.Ds

GU's are the motorist's version of 'Blue Thunder'

hahahaha

[aussiemale]

I've been reading this thread with much amusement, HOWEVER...both camps are wrong, GU's are for the sensitive new age guy (or those with roids that need the softer ride), GQ's are for boys that wanna look manly.
All I can say is my Patrol project, the mighty MQ/MK is the beast to own, friggen thing loves taking my skin, eating up and spitting out grinders (up to my 3rd so far), has tractor and truck parts, is made of STEEL, drive it over a landmine and someone in china would feel the shock wave and before i took it off the road, EVERYONE gave way even if they had the right of way

[GQ TANK]

Neither - the mighty MK beat both.

Had a new partol parked next to my mk last year - the new partol was written of due to hail damage. The mk has a couple of little marks

[nissannewby]

You MK/MQ boys took ya time to ring into this one lol maybe its cos yous are so far behind in ya slowmobiles hahaha (just stirring) Maybe we should bring the MQ's into the eqaution and let these boys battle it out with us.

[97_gq_lwb]

Nah leave em be may they rust in piece or should that be pieces

[alterastro]

GQ cause my shorty is cool

GU cause my shorty is cooler ;-)

[MEGOMONSTER]

GU8 looks tuff

[taslucas]

Now that the MQ/MKs have entered the debate the answer is easy............. it must be the GQ! Not too rusty, not too plastic, not too old, not too underpowered, not too basic, not too computerised, not too barren, not too fancy............... JUST PERFECT!!!!!!!:driving2::driving2::first::first:

[NissanGQ4.2]

GU8 looks tuff

But the one in the middle is the toughest

[Airstrike]

Why is this a question..... GQ period

[taslucas]

Your right airstrike......yeah i dont see it as a "question" thread, i see it as an "answer" thread

[Tank]

There is only one answer GQ - coil springs, great sitting position with great visablity in all directions and no big plastic bumpers to rip off
Mine is fantastic and it has the silver topped TD42 which means it will last forever, unlike that poxy little 3.0

What is it exactly that makes the GQ box stronger than the GU? Is it just the 5th gear thing? I understand that issue was fixed post 2004 for the GU.

Having owned both, my money is on the GU purely for evolutionary reasons. Im not saying modern is all ways better, im saying in this case, creature comforts and ergonomics are the winners in my head. Love em both though.

What you tapin at!!!!!????

[bigrig77]

What are you blokes on about ? A GU is the exactly the same as a GQ,. If you ignored the GU's bigger and more comfortable interior, more aggressive look and the fact it doesn't look like a 88 model cruiser from the inside its the same car!!!!! Ha ha just kidding the GU is a much more comfortable and much more pleasant ride than its siblings and I have owned one of each except the g60.

As for which is tougher, Always been a big fan of the GQ ute, wagons are no good for serious
off road stuff, too much rear overhang, sure you can cut them but straight out of the box its the GQ ute for me.

The nut behind the wheel doesn't in IMO mean the toughest
My 2cw is anything that came out STD with steel bumpers is by far tougher
than anything protected by plastic.
@ Winnie If someone throws some money into a GU I'm sure it would match your ride but its the toughest
not most photographed but GQ by far tougher wide wheelbase smaller cabin area compared to GU, better approach and departure
Could someone confirm that please. An not many GQs got a reputation like the mighty ZD30. again has to be the GQ

Gu/GQ basically same, suspension interchangable

All on the tram but different track, dog chasing its tail syndrome
Trick question there is no answer as basically it the same vehicle
apart from more modern lines on the GU, But GQ can take a punch better

Needs to pickup soccer mums,
Needs to look good in a carpark,
Must sleep 6,
Gotta be able to pull a sick skid,
MUST BE SHINY,
Must be classy and sophisticated,
Must be able to fix hair in the reflection off the nudge bar,

2 things i noticed in your video, 1 you know that track pretty well, i could tell by the way you kicked it out at the start. 2 you know your car and its obvious by your throttle control.

1) crabbing is the most fun way of driving ruts:). Patrols love to sit sideways in ruts and just keep plugging away. If a rut is deep enough to grab my diff then ill try crab up it. (EDIT: also, its near impossible to keep a rig straight around that corner)
2) Challenge No. 2 accepted: Give me a car i've never been in:). I can get my brothers toyo poop carrier further than he can lol and id never driven it before that day. Gotta always be thinking thinking thinking and it helps to know the 56 types of mud we get here lol

GU have larger front diff physically no GQ had the bigger front i have a 99 GQ and its still got a GQ diff. As stated the gearboxes are slightly different GQ seems to be the tougher one there but the gu post 04 seem to have fixed this problem. The steering box is stronger in the GU although the later model GQ's have the same box fitted. In my oppinion i think it comes down to the time The GQ served its purpose for 11 yrs relatively unchanged. Where as the GU with the legendary motor combo only went for 9 yrs.

Well put Matt,

I took my GU out to glasshouse today. Apart from being more comfortable the GQ is far more at home in the rough stuff and just eats it up. I love both my patrols the gu is comfy while the gq is the tougher rig.

[macca86]

Where was my invite I didn't have much on today

Isnt the stock stadard GU just a beefed up stock stadard gq with a more fancy body on top? Surely its the value of the vehicles that prevents most GUs following the gqs through the more damaging trails:)

You are all wrong - the MQ Datsun Safari is in my mind the toughest. I have pulled many a Toyota Land Cruiser out of mud pits, etc. and some times did not even use the low range gears for that. Secondry to the MQ I will stand next to the GU first time, why? Because it is the next up from the MQ. Besides every Nissan patrol that has come out of history, has the DNA of the MQ ...

GQueens are for the tip! GUltimate = King of the trols!!!!!

[mudnut]

The looked after GQs are still dragging in the cash. As for replacing Q parts with U parts, it is simple: there are only GU parts available at the wreckers. With so many Qs around, the only conclusion anyone can reach is that GUs owners get rid of their machines a lot earlier, because the plastic don't last.

I was after a rear bar for a gq patrol and when speaking to the local wrecker, he said he's never wrecked a gq.

I always like being the under dog lol apart from my RX7 i've never had anything that was a machine or capable of doing the things that i did in my cars, and as every one knows how well a car is set up only plays a small roll in how a driver tackles the conditions in front of him!

Even if my rig is still the same when you boys come down i'll do my best even if i look like a fool doing it lol.
