Nissan Patrol GU/Y61 Thread

[loidch]

tnx boybi, is possible to convert a 4x2 into a 4x4 buy bolting on a transfer case and a front prop shaft? may surplus kaya na nabibili since i assume these are seldom used parts even on the vehicle w/c they came from. can you give me a ballpark figure if its doable tnx

Even my mom uses 285/75R16's on her stock 2001 Patrol. The 265's look really puny.

And as an update, the damn thing is still in the shop!



The only convenient time to tow it to the shop (Nissan CRVi) was at 3am. Arrived at their doorstep at 4am.

Surprisingly, guard already seems well versed in accepting broken down Patrols at the most unholy hours.

Yeah, early Patrols are tempermental. It's like owning a Land Rover (no offense to the Land Rover guys )

What size are teh rotors on the Patrol. I had ordered some nickel plated slotted rotors for my Elgrand and they turned out to be to big. They were from 2000 Nissan Pathfinder. Turns out since the Elgand came with 15" wheels it had smallar rotors but the same calipers and brake pads.

So now I am stuck with them. Just seeing if they fit a patrol.

Diameter [mm]: 300.00; Brake Disc Thickness [mm]: 28.00; Minimum Thickness [mm]: 26.00; Number of Holes: 6; Mounting Type: Bolted; Centering Diameter [mm]: 100.00; Depth [mm]: 38.00

Looking to get rid of them when I return there later this year. They are just sitting in a box.

doc, i read in your post in 4x4ph several months back that it was fixed by malabon diesel already? what happened again?

[OTEP]

Yes. Again! But it doesn't seem injection related this time.

[icebox_t]

meron ba mechanic on the east side, preferrably Marikina na mapagkatiwalaan sa GU? kahit yung mga basic PMS and intercooler, throttle cleaning

Maganda ang updates sa 2012 Patrol Super Safari.

[crizelle23]

Sir, crdi na ba yong 2012 patrol super safari?

[OTEP]

CRDi naman ang Patrol since 2001

Variable Geometry aka VNT turbo din.

But it's a Patrol, unlike other cars na kelangan pa ng 'VGT' or 'CRDi' badge, the Patrol is not about announcing itself.

I'm thinking of buying a replacement for my Toyota Fortuner. I passed by nissan casa awhile ago and i liked their nissan safari 2012. Finance wise, i like the fortuner. Could you help me decide which of the two would i choose? My criteria would be based on :
A. Resale value
B. Fuel efficiency
C. Riding comfort
D. What else to consider?

A. Resale value - May huge advantage si Patrol Safari over the Fortuner
B. Fuel efficiency - Taking engine size into consideration, i think both have the advantage dahil sa diesel engines, slight differences between the two
C. Riding comfort - Fortuner by a slight margin
D. What else to consider? - Siguro all around usage, mas practical ang Fortuner due to the size kasi malaki ang Patrol Safari. Step in height, Fortuner.

U mean mas matagtag ang patrol sa fortuner? Newbie here pala.... Thanks.

I feel mas matagtag (pero not that much) ang Fortuner, yung sa Patrol I can't see any reviews na applicable

Yan 1-5 na problems, is that for the Super Safari(new) or the older GU, which is known to have some problems with the unit manufactured around 2001.

Asan po yong picture na hila na papunta ng casa? Yan ba yong Land Cruiser ang humihila? Kasi yong Patrol na yon at yong GU na earlier model, at hindi Super Safari.

Yes sir yun hila ng lc, yun super safari wala na ba problems?

[crazy_boy]

sir, the new super safari supposedly has an upgraded engine na. revised na siya than the old design. pero sa patrol club, may ginawa sila to prevent the overboost which causes the engine failure. like adding oil catch can and fan sa intercooler and boost gauge, etc.

[crazy_boy]

sorry double post.

[swordsman]

Wala na ako naririnig na unusual problems sa bago na Super Safari. Naayos na yong mga dating problema. Actually, kahit naman dun sa mga later years(around 2005) nung dating Patrol GU, wala na gaano problema. Kung pag-uusapan naman yong older Patrol GU na hila-hila nung LC, dapat i-compare yun sa mga older Fortuner na hatak-hatak din sa casa dahil sa D4D problems

As to kung alin ang pipiliin, i would still buy the Super Safari over the Fortuner if the budget is not a problem. It's more fun! :P
Pero based sa criteria ng TS, mas bagay sa kanya ang Fortuner.

The first release of the the GU Patrols were the ones with problems (01-03/04?).The 2006 4x4 at home already has 80,000kms on it and never had problems outside of its defective clutch when it was brand new (which UMC replaced).
