Does anyone know if the shroud is different for a petrol and diesel?

Hmmmmm? I doubt it? They will be very close if not identical. On a GQ I assume? A GU will likely have a number of different ones

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

Thanks. It is for a 94 gq. Have had some overheating problems and thought I might get a new one and see I can get some more air in.

Have you inspected the radiator for blockage? Might be worth pulling it out completely and hose it out, inside and out.
If your running around without a shroud of any description then refitting the shroud will make a MASSIVE Difference mate!

Big difference on tojos from diesel to petrol same model.
EG 3F petrol efi /carb
1HZ diesel
Would think patrols would be different as well in GQ guise

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
The only difference is the top hose and i think 1 shroud does all, only difference is the top hose, petrol is on the passenger side, diesel is on the drivers side.
Yeah at Woods Point we looked at a couple and came to the conclusion that they are the same? There are clips that are used on diesels but not on petrols and vice versa and the clips were on both.
Thanks for all advice. I have been chasing this for a while. I can only find a petrol shroud on the net a present. For info I have changed all the usual hoses, thermostat, radiator, water pump, tested pressure, no co2 in coolant, no white smoke. Runs like a dream unless I am towing.
Is your rig petrol or diesel ?? A bad fuel mixture causing the incorrect air fuel ratio and wrong timing can cause a motor or over heat as well, not having the fan shroud to help direct the air doesn't help at slower speeds but it would be a start. Is your clutch fan engaging ???
