OOOOOOHHH, you want constructive critisism ? Counts me out..
But Bob's rigfht, GU is better looking, has style, not box on wheels.
And yes, we are better ppl because of it !! pml
Q comes befor U
As Tony mentioned the GQ CV's are weaker then Gu's but the GU's have had some gearbox issues so as far as which one is stronger is a loosing battle.
GQ = Less electrics which IMO is far better for having less electrical issues when you are in the middle of nowhere. Try repairing a serious melt down in the simpson with a GU. if your name is not Tony then you may struggle trying to find the issue and repair a GU in the bush whereas the 4.2 diesel GQ is a simple but reliable engine that can be fixed using a piece of bark and some gaffa tape....lol...In fact you just wouldn't have any issues like that so disregard that comment...LMAO
Aestheics The GQ just looks strong, square edges, boxy design and just looks tough! The GU is more aimed towards the George Jetson driver of the future which is horrible in design and poor in construction. Mainly aimed at the aerodynamic stage of the turn of the century. They steered away from the ruggered good looks of the GQ and followed the crowd towards a city slicking type soccer mum car to putt around town and pick up the groceries and have 5 kids in the back screaming and wiping their boogers all over the seats which at the time they targeted their audience quite well and succeeded but as a 4wd in the harsh Australian conditions, they failed!

dont get me wrong i like the gu but the GQ is my choice of vehicle if i get stuck in th bush more of a chance of me fixing it than me fixing a GU the Q is in my mechanical safty zone and i find a lot more durable than the GU my personal opinion
This is great. Thread open 30 minutes and 2 pages already..
U can find more words beginning with 'U'.
'Q' only stands for things like' queer'
WE ALL DRIVE PATROLS OF OUR OWN CHOICE
WHY BICKER OVER WHAT MODEL iS BETTER WHAT IS IMPORANT HERE IS ITS NOT TOYMOTA
NOTHING TO GAIN BY THE DEBATE SO WHY HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
THIS IS LOWERING OUR STANDARDS TO THE OTHER PATROL SITE WHY DO THAT ???? :( :( :( :(
Nah mate we are not lowering our standrads, we are good friends just giving it to each other like mates do.
Honestly, I wish I could afford a 4.2 GU but I couldnt...They are both awesome vehicles and we all know that...
Bob and I were giving eachother heaps of curry in the Vic meet up but as good friends only...It's all good!
As with most newer models cars (AU Falcon being an obvious exception) the newer models build on the weaknesses uncovered in the superceeded model, hence the the GU has stronger CV joints and availabillity of a factory turbo TD42. Some GU's also got a stronger rear diff to cope with the massive increases of power and torque that came with the superior GU engines.
Tony
all good as long as it doesnt go viral i love this site with out any argument !!
Because there is no arguement
All done in good faith and humour and deep down we all know the gq rules hahahahahahaha rock on
Photos please Scott.
Tony
gq's they should have the only better change to the gu is cv,s power steering which can be bolted on the qg....
if nissan want to take over the 4x4 industry, they should bring out a dual cad style side or tray back... In the gq shape of course
The burgundy GU is on my photos page, the gold one I would have to search for (as well as the first GQ - trayback) - gotta love divorces!! LOL ... lucky for me we get along well, so I'll ask her to hunt down the snaps ... along with the mower with the six pack holder ... along with photos of the Hilux ... along with the photos of the pathfinder ... with me so far?? She got the ice cube trays as well!!! LMFAO!!
i HAD TO GET OUT OF BED TO CHECK THIS THREAD AND I MUST ADMIT I HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PASSIONATE ARGUMENTS FOR THE TWO MODELS. IT JUST GOES TO DEMONSTRATE OUR LOVE OF THE NISSAN PATROL (MQ-GQ-GU) LOVE A GOOD ARGUMENT. GOODNIGHT ALL AND HAVE LOTS OF FUN.
NONE OF YOU WILL WIN
Night Bob I'm Gunnar push some z's too
I'm going to bed soon too, got to be up before the sparrows tomorrow for the 3 hour drive to my first job.
We're all winners here because we all drive Patrols.
Tony
I could always join the lcool forum, i'm sure they wouldn't be mean to me.
lololololololololololololololololololololololololo lololololololololololololololololololololololololo lolololol
Oh ... and did I mention GU drivers were nancy's?? LOL ...
All good brother - you're just lucky that when we caught up to swap over the camper I didn't take off with the GU as well !!!! They are all awesome, but the fact is, GQ or GU, they are awesome looking with a few mods ... let alone exceptionally capable, tough as and driven by a top bunch like us!! LOL
