I live in PL and 90% of second hand cars we buy in Germany. There is no speed limit at all !!! Most of Patrols are just heavy duty vehicle - and germans just run them up to 150 - 170 km/h.
Half hour of such a drive makes 2,8 warmed-up. That is why we are so sensitive about Patrol 2,8 engines - most of them here are already dyeing.
Anyway if You often cheange thermostat, if You go into mud clean Your radiator immediately (not with high pressure), check indicator of temp while driving, do not go over 140km/h for long time.
Then 2,8 is as reliable as 4,2 or other Nissan hearts.
