    Series 4 to current are Identical. View his car, if its the same shape then it will bolt straight on. The flares are the same.

    The Series 3 is the last of the older shape.

    Don't pay too much for that bud, a dime a dozen to be honest. If it was Stella then you will pay good money but plenty of people ripping them off to fit a decent bar.

    The Alloy bar will provide you with very little added protection, in an animal strike like a Kangaroo you will still be rendered undrivable.

    Go to your local ARB and see what they have lying about around the back.

    How much does he want for it?

    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.

    Thanks MudRunner. I'm really only wanting it to mount spotlights at the moment. Not planning on doing any driving where we might be hitting kangaroos at high speeds, nowhere we don't take our other cars without roobars anyway. He's asking $300 for it but it's still a bit of a drive from here so I will want it a bit cheaper to make it worth it for me.

    Cool

    Ok, so I ended up finding a reasonable priced steel bull bar not too far away from me. Genuine Nissan with a spot for a winch.
    Much better than the alloy ones I was looking at. Thanks for the advice everyone.
    I was very surprised at how easy it was to put on. After the initial assembly on Saturday night it only took about 2-2.5 hrs to fit by myself.



    Very happy with the result

    good on you mate, looks the goods

    mind you, I had an Alloy bar on my GQ for 8 years while I had it........... only think I ever had "attack" me was a tree, on a very muddy track..........
    Alloy are ok, irrespective of what many say.......

    my other 4wds with steel bars, the score is like - 2 holdens, 3fords, a couple of commomwh0res, the odd wall
    etc........

    Agree alloy bars like from TJM are ok
    Factory alloy is generally cheap n nasty and not very effective in an animal strike

    In saying that I've smashed up factory steel quite convincingly and seen ARB bats bent enough to cause panel damage on sand
