I bought my 1998 Patrol 4500GRX at the end of April 2011. It has had a flat spot at about 2500 RPM ever since. A week ago I had a battery package installed (National Luna). Three days ago the altenator gave up the ghost . I had the altenator replaced (R4400 - Nissan wanted R16800 for a new altenator) with a new one (100Amp), and Voila!! The new altenator seems to work well AND the flat spot is GONE!!! My Patrol now spins smoothly through the whole rev range .
For what it is worth to anybody else.

Ek weet ek is nou van die topic af, maar waar het jy jou bonnet scoop en vents laat doen?
Ek wil dit ook met die tyd laat doen op my 4500GRX.
