    New to the forum

    Hi,

    From my screen name you can no doubt tell where I am from originally :-)

    I have a 92 Patrol LWB Wagon with an aftermarket DTS Turbo kit added by a previous Owner.

    I have owned it since 2008 but do not get a chance to use it much as I work all over the planet and don't get home much.

    I just had 5 weeks at home and probably did 4 k km's as I was moving houses and it is a good towing vehicle.

    It has beefed up suspension, a lift kit and is currently on Kuhmo 35 x 12.5 x 15" rubber.

    It runs very well and always starts like it was only just stopped even after sitting in my garage for 3 yrs it flashed up immediately it blows no smoke and burns no oil.

    I have no idea as to the service history but someone has had the sump off ( and put it back on) as the gasket is showing and there is non Nissan goo visible in a few spots.

    I got it with some Maxi Crawlers on it which proved to be a handful when driving on the road which until recently was always a big part of its function when I was home and changed the wheels complete.

    I drive mostly on the road and beach as I am a keen fisherman and use both a surf caster and torpedo so I it great to hum all the gear associated with the Torpedo.

    It is the second one I have had, the first was an '86 Trayback model with an SD33 Engine purchased from the Dalrymple Shire Council west of TSV and used extensively for a top end tour in 91/92.

    Thanks for the welcome folks.

    I have asked my question that made me come here in the first place so hope I get the info I need.

    It is in great shape, Going by the stack of receipts I got It had a shed load spent on it by the guy who had all the work done, I think I am the first one to use it on the beach and am careful to wash it fully after every outing.

    I have just had a bore drilled at my new house where the water normally comes from the roof when it rains so I don't have any water issues with washing it or anything else.
