newbie

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...

Hello all, recently I went along and took the plunge and bought a Patrol. I've only had it for a few months at this point and then came across this forum so here I am. :) I am from SEQ and yeah, kinda wanted to hunt around for some info about my car and what's possible with it. Oh yea, the...

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...

:lol: How's it going guys, I've been on these forums for maybe 2 years and never made an account as I didn't own a patrol yet. But now I've gone and got me a golden oldie GU DX td42T with nothing but some HD rear springs for mods. I have big plans for the old girl and bringing her up to touring...

Hey guys! My name is Aaron, I'm from Mackay in Queensland. I brought my first Patrol a little while back its a Gold 06 4.2 GU Patrol coil cab! Stock as a rock apart from the 2'lift but I'm keen to sink some money into it so stay tuned and ill try post some good photos up of what I do with it...

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...

Hey guys i have justt bought my first patrol/ 4wd last week! 09 crd dx auto. Stock as a rock Been researching this forum non stop and cant put it down. ( to the point where the mrs says I don't care about her anymore haha) Was wondering if anyone could point me toward a good mechanic/auto...

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...

Hey folks, im new to patrols looking at buying a 2006 ST 3ltr with 186000 full sevice history tows a 16ft caravan once a year electric brakes and suspension lift not a great deal of offroading Great condition BUT.... I'm worried about the 3ltr zd30 talk, is this model ok??

Hey guys, i bought a GU ute about 8 months ago now and only just getting enough cash to start doing her up! iv asked a few tire company's and they all say something different. what is the biggest mud terrain tire i can get without having to get a suspension lift? im guessing 285/75/16?

Hi All, Thought I would introduce myself. I'm originally from London. Been in Brissie just over 4 years and bought the 4wd about 9 months ago. Plan to get out and about a bit more this year, mainly Gundiwindi , Double Island, Landcruiser Park etc. Got a 1993 TD42 , do my own oil changes...

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...

HI ALL Just interested in changing status from newbie ( for the last year) to anything less demeaning although i haven't posted much on this site due to being a lower grade of member????:rolleyes:
