some updates. sold the 5spd (black/silver GQ below) and imported a nice white LWB GQ TD42T from Japan.
Called it the 'White Elephant'.
So far so good. moved over the aux tank/wvo system into the new rig.
Mechanically it is rock solid. Frame is solid along with body panels and interior in in great shape. Some rust issues in the rear I will have blasted and fully repaired this summer.
Here's the goods:
1995 Nissan Safari Y60 (Patrol GQ)
Kingsroad edition (top of the line trim/accessories)
TD42T 4.2L Turbo diesel
Auto transmission
Rear differential locker
Moon roof
12V electrical system with 24V starter / dual batteries
Options ordered from factory:
White exterior color (usually reserved for UN/work grade trucks)
Camping kit (rear outfitted with bed/stove/storage)
Mods/upgrade to be done right away:
Auxiliary transmission cooler (soon)
Transmission shift kit (soon)
WVO/veg aux tank/fuel kit (done)
Pyro/Boost/Trans temp gauges (soon)
285/75/16 Goodyear Duratrac's on 16x8 wheels (done)
Remove all chrome body/accessory parts & replace/repaint black (almost)
Mods/upgrades to be done in the near future:
OME 2" suspension lift (done)
DIY 1" body lift (soon)
Fabricating front/rear tube bars (soon)
8274 front mount winch (soon)

I've done mods and will post them as I've added them.

How I got it from Japan:
Last ride was a 91 GQ TD42 5spd with 3" dobinson coils. I made the dropboxes, bumper and roof rack. Also have a camping kit I built and running an aux tank with WVO veggie oil.
Cheers
