Hello! I have a project car and am confident you can help! Not sure why my 60 had 4 windows in the back. I live in Colombia and have seen many with 2 windows (in the doors) but no others with the 4? What have I got?

Right there in bold mate. Y61 is the common name for the Patrol produced after the Y60, us Aussies call it a GU model Patrol, in other countries it might be a Y61 Safari. Same, same. First released is the series 1, every two years or so Nissan release a new variant of that model with slight changes and upgrades, but they remain relatively the same. The first GU/ Y61 was released late 1997 and this shape went up to the series 3, or GUIII, around 2004 (i think). Then the series 4 came along (GUIV) see pic below, early GUII on left and the body change of the GUIV on right, the main cosmetic differences were the headlights (from headlight and indicator being separate to now being as one), flares on the guards are larger, larger tail lights and dash board changes. There is many other things but those are the main things. The new design Y61 GUIV went on until GU8 or 9? Then came along the Series 1 Y62...Quote:

Thank you @mudski.
Do you have a picture to illustrate GU1 and GU2?
The way I see it there is original GU pre-facelift (ranging from GU1, 2 and 3 between which I can't see any difference) and the GU post-facelift (from GU4 onwards) where the only difference I noticed is the rear bumper with the 3-piece with aluminum step or single piece all plastic. Ok, to be honest there is also black headlights and black taillights but that would be too cosmetic to me to be called a new version, as it is just a color change, not a facelift.
Very minor differences between 1 and 2. some were just slight inter trim color changes and pattern design. Series 2 they introduced the ZD30 and canned the RD2.8.Quote:

Here are some photos of the GU I, II and III from redbook.com.au
GU I

GU II
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/10/29.jpg
GU III
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/10/30.jpg
The main thing they seemed to change was the headlights, as Mudski pointed out, and the front grille and also dropping the tiny piece of trim on the front quarter panel that extends the bumper strip along the doors.
Depending on the model variants they also had colour coded trims, bumpers and flares, wing mirrors and different mag wheels.
The front Nissan badge on the GU III was increased in size too [emoji6]
1 and 2 on these pictures also seem to have that rubber bumperette like the GQ does.
I reckon those two pics are overseas models, not aussie models. Its very rare you'd find a Patrol, GU or GQ in Australia with the original bumper bar. Thats the first thing that got removed when being sold from new. :)Quote:

Did I understand correctly that the differences were only cosmetic? The engine, transmission, and everything else important remained the same?Quote:

I know of two people who have series 2 Patrols and they converted the look to series 4. So front end, flares and full interior including the dash, except tail lights. Not sure why one would go through all that but each to their own.Quote:

If you want to bring in the ‘street sweepers’ just have at it. I’ve enjoyed the forum, like patrols but really don’t have much tolerance for keyboard warriors

My computer pulled up the translation, its rubbish, twaddle, all about nothing to do with Nissan patrols, not worth the 5 seconds it took to skim it, you have not missed anythig, enjoy the forum.Quote:

Not really sure why; maybe just because they were the in thing when I was a boy.

You’re about to see the light. Get under the MQ and compare diff size, chassis section size, drive train size compared to the Toyota.Quote:

Love you Plasnart XO, I'm glad to hear your well.Quote:

I see your point.Quote:

Toyota does what it does with a special brand of process control if not imagination.
Patrol, as you say, is bigger and arguably better in many ways.
Land Rover can drive power take offs, generaotrs and skip over boggy ground like almost nothing modern or ‘better’ especially this one with a Peugeot xd2s and high range transfer. Alaska it dismantled at moment.
MQ just, in my opinion, has just right proportions and is simple enough for a mug to understand. Leaf springs have their own special functional simplicity that appeals as opposed to the more complex arrangements of coils and control arms
