Nissan Patrol in Italy. Gday All!

Hello all!
I have been lucky enough to find your forum and registered straight away.
I have bought a 1986 Patrol diesel turbo in the spare of the moment from a friend and have had great fun so far with it.
We are pomms but have been living in Italy for 12 years,
Well thanks for letting me introduce myself, I hopefully have attatched a photo of the Patrol for all to see/comment on.
I shall now search your site to find out what model it is…. bit of a quick purchase..
Best wishes.

no idea why the photo is upside down.. its not a global position joke i promise

Welcome to the forum mate.

Welcome to the forum mate and enjoy your new rig , photo was right way up down under .

thanks! Just realising how much i dont know about these 4x4's. any Idea what model it is? Ive been searching your forum but it all seems to be in secret code… Gu,Gq,Tr,160 ect… And what is a crank battery?

thanks for the reply, didnt think anyone would read these introductions.
Hope you have a nice day,

Its a 260 series Patrol, or an MK model. Its the Spanish built version of the 160 (MQ)Patrol which looks the same but the MK has rectangular headlights and the MK as round. A crank battery is the main battery to start the vehicle.

G'day mate and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum mate and feel free to ask any questions.

Fantastic,
thanks for the info, I was going goggle eyed searching the forum. now i can set about my learning curve!

thank again for the info, I have just bought the manuals for the patrol on ebay, old original copies, Does that mean the 260 is just a 160 model with funny headlights?
Sorry to pester.jm

Pretty much. Maybe a few minor interior and exterior changes but they are identical.
