hi friends,
Watz up?
just joined the club yesterday.
I have 3 nsn patrols in mind which i have seen, but cant make up my mind. all are beautiful n all long wheel based.
1) 92 which is 22k - (no side fenders above the wheels)
2) 93 which is 20k
3) 95 which is between 27000 to 32000. - Can any one suggest me which model to go for n at what price?

[maccam]

no 2nd thoughts .. nissan patrol all the way. i had 1 n she was a baby. used to go anywhere without any problem. i mean any where

I guess any Nissan Patrol is good, If you have licence for Manual Even better...cause we are driving for the pleasure of Driving!!!

But gotta be very careful about how it has been used in the Past....Very important...

If while you buy you keep in mind that she will require some updating in terms of replacement parts...and budget accordingly i think you will not be disappointed!!


Always good to talk to the owner of the LEGENDARY PATHFINDER....Mr. Silvester!!!! Always ready to share his knowledge...

ALL THE BEST!!!

Change the Clutch, what came out was a fairly new clutch, but not original, Also the fly wheel was Skimmed/Machined and a job not done properly....but now having changed everything she feels much better.....Just wating to try out in the extreme desert conditions..

Also changed the Shock Absobers....three of them did not actually need replacement but i changed all four!!

Found some 17 in Lenso wheels and Big O tires from BIG FOOT on Dubizzle...got the the tires for free so left them on as they were fairly OK....Will try out the desert and if not good will change the tires..

Congrats on your new purchase and a new ID:045:!
Are these MTs?
As far as my teeny weeny knowledge works, MTs and sand don't mix well.......but if these are ATs, you are all good!

[Desert Lizard]

How much is your total spend now? apart from the car's price?

[CAMEL]

OOUCH!!! The question hurts!!! Its about 7000...But i guess i am getting more replacements than what actually would be required. Just want to mechanically bring her up to date....

[CAMEL]

Tis one says XT....Not sure if they are ATs or MTs...Tried to check but they seem to be compared to both equally...but i just gotta know that the side walls are soft....I dunno what it means for the desert.....Will have to wait to check them out!!!! Until Then ???
