    Was thinking about the GVM Upgrade too, likely it has had it done from new which will mean braced rest towers etc, winner.

    If it was a 10year old ExGov out of Darwin or Central Aus and had been use in an indigenous community then it would be fairly rugged compared to the Sargeant's car from a Coastal tourist zone. 2 different lives. It may even have some electronic rust protection under the bonnet too.

    It is on the cusp for DI V CRD ZD30 engine change, is it a DI or CommonRail? A side photo will show a big sticker on the door declaring CRD.

    Note the Clutch can go and is big $$ to replace but at the price you are being offered it makes no difference.

    IT IS A BARGAIN.

    I have seen similar vehicles with the same list of accessories list for about $10k to $12k WITH A BLOWN MOTOR. To suit conversion. This is a very popular year for the Concersion crew as it's the last year you can do a TD42 conversion if it does blow.

    If the Big rear step is an ARB rear bar with wheel carrier then that's a $3k bit of kit!

    No brainer mate!! If you don't buy it please post a link and I happily will.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    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.
