Re: Packing System Build

I used to have two GEL batteries in my Patrol, one in the engine bay and the second one on top of the left rear wheel arch, which is wasted space with the pacing system in place. Both of them gave up after about 5 years, and at the same time. Two of them were only about R500 cheaper than a 100AH Blu...

Re: Packing System Build

Great mods...congratulations, well done. I see you have fitted the same make and size DC2DC charger and same make and size MPPT unit as well. Now you must just fit the same Victron AC to DC charger as I have.i also fitted a Victron 500a Snart Shunt. What battery did you fit, and where did you fit it?

Re: Brake pad shaping versus disc skimming: Is the mechanic right?

Etude front pads seem to ring a bell... On the 4.5 1998 GU the Rear Brake Pads part no is D3543 Maybe we should place a list of the most used part numbers somewhere in this site. I will add my list, maybe Ian can make a plan...... 1998 GU Y61 Series 1 - Nissan Patrol 4500 (Petrol) PART NUMBERS PG 22...

Re: Y61 TB48 GU Front Calipers and Disks on GQ Y60

Smaller rims do contain the heat (hot air) in the area of the disc and calliper more that a 17" rim would, and may lead to brake fade in certain instances. Just a casual observation with experience with rim size when I used to race cars on the track,.... In the class we raced, we could fit a ri...

Re: TB42 EFI Turbo VS TD42 Silvertop Turbo Discussion

Andreas,

Contact Dawid Volschenk who has the Patrol scrapyard in Bela Bela. He told me he imports radiators for all the variants of Patrols, so much so that Nissan SA buys Patrol radiators from him. WhatsApp your requirements to Dawid on 083 499 1588. He will phone you back.

Re: Patrol Value

I paid R210k at a dealer for my 2008 3.0TDi in great condition with 159k km on the clock, back in 2016.

I think that around R175k to R190k for a good condition 2008 model with that mileage would be the ballpark.

Re: The CORRECT way to Calibrate your speedo

As far as I know it came standard on all Alfa Romeo speedos of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. I had 27 Alfas, ranging from 1967 to 1992 year models and we often corrected our speedos adjusting these pods. It was also standard on the speedo cluster of my 1985 TB42 GQ Patrol. I was under the impression that ...
