Patrol V8 6.5D

Post by jan.dup »



At the end of the clip it shows a V8 6.5 Turbo sign at the back of the Patrol. Are the V8 6.5's all custom made / modified versions or is there any country that produces them as new ? I think this will be a lekka one to have :biggrin:

Nog a couple of Youtube clips on these beasts !!! https://www.google.co.za/webhp?sourceid ... percharged

That is a Polish custom made.
I think a related post was made a while back by Grant: His "Dream"

The range of engines that Patrol came out with is in this thread.
AFAIK the GU never came out of a Nissan factory with a V8.

But if you think 300hp is a lot. Maybe it is for a diesel V8 :rolling:

Some guys, in a place where petrol is always super cheap, have 1000+hp Patrols.
That is mostly the TB48 turbo'd.


One day, when my ship comes in, then I will super charge my Lexus. But with reliability always the 1st priority.
Maybe then I will be able to give Tommie Yster a go on the dunes with his 7litre Chev V8.
Skilpad, Shortie, Toro & Masewa
