Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi

Does anyone know if there is advantages or disadvantages to a "van der linde" conversion on a Nissan Patrol 4500 pertol . Will it be more economical ?

Thanks
Willie

Depends on what you want done - stage1, 2 or 3...

I think it is a stage 1 or 2 . How can I check ?

Good day,Speak to Etienne van der Linde.He will tell you what they do and what 1,2 or 3 are and the price.They work on every car but know their way arround a Nissan.

Hi Willie

Het jy enige nuus ivm die conversion?
Wat doen hulle met die 4.5 en hoeveel meer krag lewer dit?
Verbeter die petrolverbruik?

Johan

Helooooooooooo Willie - [waar die kiekies van jou moutir?]
Brandstofverbruik is relatief - met 'n volle VdLinde BEHOORT jy minder brandstof verbruik [ek bedoel, die Patrol ... jou eie verbruik sal onaangreaak bly, behalwe as jy die ekstra krag te aanmekaar vier ???]
Die stoei kom by die eie dissipline - mens neig om te trap volgens krag - en klanse is dat jy ook die uitlaat meer sal geniet - en dan ry jy agter die KLANK aan...
As jy NET brandstof wil bespaar - dink ek nie jy gaan in onder 100 000 Km die uitgawe terugspaar wat dit eerstens gaan kos om die ombouing te doen nie - dat jy meer krag en genot gaan hê ... daarvan kan jy seker wees.

- sê die outoppie want dis wat hy dink is reg.

Willie,


Had my Harbody at Van der Linde's for a stage 3. It went like the clappers. Nie een double cab kon saam ry nie. The cheapest part was the conversion. Fuel consumption was terrible. This was not van der Linde's fault, but my own, because the car sounded better and went well.

I summary, a artisan once told me ""if you want more horses, you need to feed them". I ahve found on my Trol, and noticable differance in fuel consumption when reducing the speed.

Daa'sy Grant - exacitly what oompie is trying to say - the extra power is glorious - the LESS fuel consumption is the discipline you can show'
When I drove teh Terrano we got 10 Kml - when Dwergie drove [same load - same road] the consumtion went to 14 Kml between tanks... bulk sms ... [BUT I wear a size 11, she wears a 4 ... ]

Het bietjie gedink daaroor en besluit om dit nie te doen nie . Soos hulle se klink hy beter maar die petrol by dieselfde . Die 4.5 is reg vir die oomblik tot ons sy ouboet kan kry die 4.8 . sit eerder 'n winch op .
