Looking at GU II with new motor and NADS - will it go boom again?

[ozjeff]

Hi All

Looking at buying my 1st Patrol (stepping up in the world from a Pathy). Budget wise I keep missing out on GU6, however stumbled upon a GU II with a new (well reconditioned) motor installed 6,000KMs ago (originally went boom 148K KMs) and had all the full NADS treatment added at that time, even chipped, mandrel bent exhaust, torque lock etc (deceased estate is why it's for sale and not being played with). Replacement was done via Nissan and there's paperwork on everything the size of 2 phone books (receipts, manuals, the works - all history is there).

With NADS added the same week as the replacement motor, will that keep the grenade pin in forever, or can they still go bang?


Cheers.

Hi mate post up an intro then ask your question would be the correct way to go about it.
Its something the forum asks of us all,
NADS you would think would increase its life but poor service interval, bad driving techniques
will all lead to premature failure in any engine IMO

Was going to save the intro until I have a Patrol (wife is leaning towards Pajero - but she doesn't mind if I go Patrol. Her main wish is that it's not white - this one is, seems to be the only colour on the market at present that meets my worthy to go take a look requirements :P)

Nothing wrong with a white patrol mate... They go harder.

No question mate, the white ones are the go. How long they go has a bit, as said, to do with your treatment and servicing. Bit like the missus really.
Buy it and get on board starting with an intro,
luck,
Col
