Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hello Manne

I have finally taken the plunge and got another Patrol. Thanks to Tinus for his help. It’s a 96 GU patrol, the foundation is there, now to “upgrade” engine (there is no engine ) and the interior.

I would really appreciate any advise or comments as we go along on this journey, your experience and comments will go a long way !

I am looking for the fender flares but not those massive ones with the holes in them. Also a good deal on a snorkel

Got snorkel and fairs for you just ask ....you and malkoppie can do your m57 jobs together

new life to my old GQ, may you have a great journey to this amazing project M57, sounds great! Keep us posted. I will be following. Thanks Tinus!

Interesting, how are you going to do engine management on the M57?

Why not a tweaked RD28 or even a TD42?

M57 has been going in patrols for a long time in europe
10km per liter and big reliable power in a straight 6 and no kettle effect .
O yes its a lot cheaper than a proper td42t

I know the guy who built that patrol.

He has a build thread on this forum.

Thanks, you prompted me to Google the subject. I see they remap the stock ECU and delete the ABS, EGR, DPF, MAP and EWS?

What is the price of the engine? The conversion kit looks quite expensive?

Engine exhaust adapter flywheel ect you still in for a 100k with everything
