92 GQ's Patrol
6
Hi all!
I’ve always had a great passion for beach 4wding and camping trips, in 2009 I brought my stock GQ Patrol in the hopes of customising it to suit me so that I can get away and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible!
Well I can say that the project is finally complete (well as close as it will ever get, seems there’s always new things to do to cars :bigthumb: ) and I wanted to a quick write up on my Patrol!
Thanks to all my mates, this is what I have the pleasure of taking offroad! :cheers:

Nice clean well set up vehicle you have, so what time did you get at Willowbank ? .
Cheers mate, I'm really happy how it's all come together! :cheers:Nice clean well set up vehicle you have, so what time did you get at Willowbank ? .
Before the turbo it was getting 24 seconds at 57 MPH using three gears, with the turbo it now does the quarter in 22 seconds at 60 MPH, including a shift into fourth! :bananaro:
Thanks for the suggestion!
I found this thread TD42 Clutch Life Post
I think I may have been paranoid a bit, seeing as this clutch has done 150,000kms

January Update;
The GQ passed 400,000kms
I completed a full service, like I do every 50,000km and every fluid came out the same colour and condition it went in!
Also, I got the turbo tuned; it is now at 12PSI and goes, so. much. better!!!!
Looking forward to the next trip with the GQ and Camper!!!!
