Hey everyone, Been a member for a while but this is my first post. So over the weekend I decided to pull apart most of the air con in the GQ and began cleaning the evaporator, I decided the best way to do this was to soak it in some water and bug off in a bucket. Left it for half a day and when...

So, I've recently made the purchase of a GU for the purpose of taking it to the beach as well as offroading. I figured the best addition for my car before heading off on either endeavor would be a UHF since communication seems to be fairly important. So I've already hunted around the internet...

I have found myself with my second patrol, first was GU 6. Now I have an unregistered 87 mk swb patrol after my 78 year old uncle(original owner with 202 000kms) is no longer able to drive due to demenia. Bit of a project with a big shopping list :p Hoping to learn a lot, keen to learn new...

G'Day all, Just picked up my 2011 GU Wagon with a few extras on board: Bull bar, winch,roof racks, Spotties, Duel batteries, Electric Brakes, rear 12v power, anderson plug, etc. I have used this forum a lot already looking at mods I want to do, so I thought I should say Hi and thanks for all you...

Hi all, I have lurked around the forum for a long time but only delved into the Nissan camp about 18 months ago after owning 2 old holdens. My parents had a GQ since I was a baby for about 15 years and I've always loved the patrols. My current patrol is a 2009 Gu ST ZD30CRD with a 3 inch lift...

Hi Guys, So bear with me, because I'm a newbie. Hoping to find some help! When I got my Mav a couple of months ago (first project 4wd, very excited and I'm sure you'll hear from me again), the only window that was working was the drivers, so I've put off sorting it out because I was happy! The...

Hello All, My names Mike, I doubt anyone would know me, I am into drifting and have a Nissan Silvia and slide that, I want to make that into a track only car as I am sick of using it as my daily driver! So I have been pondering and looking for a Patrol, I hear so many stories about 3.0L poping...

My 92 ST30 model seems to be lagging quite a bit when I first start her up... In fact, I have quite a time keeping her idling. Essentially to keep her running I have to pull out the manual choke and lock it in. Otherwise every time I slow to a stop it dies. I've tinkered with the idle screw, but...

Hey guys, New to the forum, thanks for having me. Just picked myself up an 06 GU ST with the 3.0ltr DDTi, ZD30 Y61 engine. It's a great unit and I got it from a pal for a great price. It has done 119,000km and has rarely been off road with minimum / no towing. I'm wondering what problems...
