MK v GQ v GU which is better - let the battle begin

[growler2058]

All done in good faith and humour and deep down we all know the gq rules hahahahahahaha rock on

As with most newer models cars (AU Falcon being an obvious exception) the newer models build on the weaknesses uncovered in the superceeded model, hence the the GU has stronger CV joints and availabillity of a factory turbo TD42. Some GU's also got a stronger rear diff to cope with the massive increases of power and torque that came with the superior GU engines.

Errr...............weight saving by removing 10mm of spline metal, or they under estimated just how much power the new engines had???

Anyway, GU has gas struts to hold the bonnet up, clear winner!

It's all in good humour Fletch. I've owned 2 of each so I can argue either way.

Me too - 1990 GQ, 2001 GU, 2004 GU, 1992 GQ ...

After I tipped my second GU on it's side, I decided they are far too "pretty" to be used properly!! LOL ... that should do it!!!

gq's they should have the only better change to the gu is cv,s power steering which can be bolted on the qg....

if nissan want to take over the 4x4 industry, they should bring out a dual cad style side or tray back... In the gq shape of course

Photos please Scott.

The burgundy GU is on my photos page, the gold one I would have to search for (as well as the first GQ - trayback) - gotta love divorces!! LOL ... lucky for me we get along well, so I'll ask her to hunt down the snaps ... along with the mower with the six pack holder ... along with photos of the Hilux ... along with the photos of the pathfinder ... with me so far?? She got the ice cube trays as well!!! LMFAO!!
