Gu's are ok, they are more city slicker type vehicles with smooth aerodynamic round corners as below...

Michaelgeo, as per AB's photos Y60 (GQ) is the square shape that was built from approximately 1988 to 1998, Y61 (GU) was a more rounded shape and was built from 1998 on.

May I remind the GQ owners that the GU has stronger CV joints!

And a longer, more established love affair with the GQ!!! I've had two GU's and I'm back in a Q, so they've obviously suckered me in!!

having been the owner of an 88 NE pajero for 9 years and recently buying (didnt say up gradeing) a 03 GU to which for the first time in my 4wding career then added lift kit and winch snorkle etc and after the last outing am strongly thinking of putting lockers on having never considered them before i am a bit disappointed in the patrol as each model comes out oit should improve,,,, i thought in buying the gu i would be able to do bigger and harder tracks then old pajero,,, (which kept up with all the cruisers and patrol both modified and not) but have been sadly mistaken :( so to me the question should be which patrol is cheaper to modifie so that you can go and do the tracks you really want to do!!!!!!!

sure this one will get a bit or three!!!!!

OMG!! You sound like someone else I know with a Hilux!! LOL ...

Hear what you're saying mate, but every 4wd'er, 4wd magazine comparo, etc can't possibly be wrong. To suggest a pajero is as capable (outside the aggressiveness and capability of the driver) as a patrol is a looooonnnnnnnng draw of the bow!!!

Consider me you're first catch!!! lmfao

You need to go pick it up from Sydney and bring it back up do we can do some "tests" before it gets turned into a harvester down at the gnomes place!!!! LOL

Oopsey - sorry lads!!!! lol

A mate has a lateish 90s ute that he says is a GU.

The body looks like a GQ, it has GQ cvs. However it has GU stub axles and wheel bearing lock nuts and I don't know what else that belongs to a GU.

I don't think Nissan differentiate between GQ and GU, the spares dept want the vehicle identification number, and talk in terms of Y60 and Y61.

Good one Tony

the GQ never came out with struts prbably because they were made of real steel and are too heavy for struts ???

I may consider a swap with my TB42 Mav :-)

And I like Pajeros in the sand, they take the hump out of between the ruts for those of us who's toys aren't lifted and on big tyres

Mate you don't stuff around...lol....Keep us posted!

Do you know whats funny...The GQ owners never bragg about how better their 4wd's are compared to the GU but the GU city slickers seem to keep this rival GU V GQ and how great the GU's are, etc but we never hear about GQ owners trying to proove how good their old rigs are...

There might be a conspiracy out there with the GU owners that they deep down wish they had an old and faithful mean machine GQ and just lash out at us humble GQ owners...lol....Ok, Im on the gas tonight peoples so look out, I'm getting personal!!!....lol

NOT TRUE, I present exhibit A; http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...666-Michaelgeo
Post #2, a GQ owner bragging about GQ's being superior! Who really has the inferiority complex???

Tony

I'll clean this thread up later as well.

lol....But if you look at section 32 paragraph 12 and refer to figure 1.22 you will notice the flux compacitor has not reached 88 miles per hour thus the GU owners suffer from a rare case of "wishIhadaGQas".

Poor lost souls...lol

yep, we better clear this ramble up...lol

OK, we've hijacked 2 threads today with our GQ v GU banter so here is a thread dedicated to the argument, let the battle again! I will move posts from the hijacked threads to here soon.

We are all members of this forum because we share our love of Nissan Patrols, this is not a serious thread, it's all in good humour.

Tony
