Re: Unbelievable fuel consumption

I think I figured out this weekend how to get the 4.8 GRX fuel consumption down to a high 11's/low 12's per 100km while running a steady 120 to 130km/h. Seems unbelievable. Let me verify over the next six months or so and I'll let you know if I'm correct... . Clem I forgot to ask - how long is 6 mo...

IS ALL OF THIS STILL NECESSARY ON 3.0D ??

Quoted from the post - "Keeping ZD 30 cool" by Izak Make sure that the person you bought it from, if second hand, has not already fused the hand grenade and that you are driving around on borrowed time. Eg did he tow a caravan, boat, offroad trailer? Fit EGT before Turbo, set alarm to 650 ...

Re: A QUESTION ABOUT RATTLES

Thank you Gents for your contributions.

Maybe the Patrol I referred to had a history of sorts, one will never know - my friend did get it at a very special price at the time.

A QUESTION ABOUT RATTLES

A good friend of mine used to have a 3.0 D Patrol. I do not recall the model but it may have been a mid 2000,s model, probaby with the old dashboard still. When driving on rocky / gravel roads the Patrol really did rattle badly. Sommer all over on the inside. Is it still the same with latter models ...

Re: Rugged new Nissan Patrol Pickup

[quote="bogeyman"]

I don't like the engine choice. I think Nissan are trying to get rid of a lot of old stock.

It has the ZD3.0L D engine. Is it the same engine as in the Patrol SUV?

Re: PATROL ENGINE GEWIG

Ek dink ( vermoed ) die A428 is dieselfde engine as in die 2014 JKU Jeep 2.8 CRD Groete Dankie Bekker. Dis moontlik hulle doen ook diens in RAM trokkies. Ek dink tog so motortjie sal `n Patrol lekker stoot as mens nou al die klein goedjies wat ek nie ken nie kon uitsorteer. Hoe dit ook al sy. Dit b...
