Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi Rudolph Ek het vir jou n email gestuur ivm hierdie clutch kits. I prefer the genuine Nissan kit which sells for R5,315 from the dealers. This includes the release bearing, clutch plate, and pressure plate as well as VAT. I replaced mine over the weekend and WOW what a difference!! They should giv...

Rudolph, you can take them of regardless if they are in Lock or Auto. It is just when putting them back I found its easier if they are in the Lock position as you can easaly find the spliance on the sideshaft to push iy back and line up the bolt holes. Ryan, it does not matter which side goes where....

Rudolph Good call to strip the engine and make sure everything is ok. C2 is the piston grade number but makes no difference if it is going to be changed. I will change the combustion chambers if it was my call, just buy everything you need from Alert. Ask for TD27 combustion chambers and pistons. If...

Sorry to hear about the drama, but on the up side it's all apart so now you can throw some TD27 turbo pistons in for the turbo conversion.
