a nice comfy 80series body on a GQ Running gear would be nice! FAT but nice.
I have a mate who uses an 80series when we play Hard, everyone else is in a GQ. He has spent BIG BUX having Custom Diff Housings made so he runs GQ diff centres, CVs and Axles under his 80! Go figure. Loves his 80 though!
Tell your mate he is delusional. A fact is a Fact. Nissan Patrol run the strongest running gear of any production 4x4 in the Australian Domestic market. The only thing stronger than a GQ running gear is GU Running gear
YOU WIN the DEBATE.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up
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.

so let it be written ,so let it be done.
GQs are better than an 80s and GU's rule over GQs wooo hooo.
Its in writing now
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
A while back we went out and in our convoy was a well set up 80, it kept getting hung up on things my stock height gu with only 33's idled thru with ease! Plus toyota haven't changed their seat design in 50 years makes land crabs a harsh ride lol
Wow, a comparison where nobody has mentioned Liquorice and Cheese. So I will.
Toyota chassis and drive line components are made of liquorice and their diffs are made of cheese. Nissan uses steel for these important parts.

Having had a couple of GQ's and an 80 series I was tempted to post a comprehensive comparison but BA has summed it up perfectly in 1 line so no point now.

Yeh the runnin gear was my argument too. Had a few mate chuck Chevys in their cruiser utes just to blow up gear boxes and the rest.
While looking for my first 4wd I looked to my mates that had gqs and 80s...........
I bought a gq.......
A mate that has owned 3 80s finally got a q and keeps saying things like "wow" lol......
Hello from Under Down Under!
Everybody knows a Gq has stronger gear, everybody knows a gq has a longer lasting engine (even in petrol!), the 80 series drives better on bitumen and around town, the gq is a better balanced 4wd exhibiting superior tyre grip, handling and articulation....... So which is a better 4wd?
