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?

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

Maganda ang updates sa 2012 Patrol Super Safari.

Sir, crdi na ba yong 2012 patrol super safari?

**OTEP** · February 29th, 2012 09:48 PM

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?
