You can definetly see the styling influences of the other makes.
I reckon it works well though.
Be nice if they came up with something more original next time.

Post by **landy_man** » Wed May 05, 2004 11:56 am

What he said...I've always liked the Patrols...until now.

Post by **GRIMACE** » Wed May 05, 2004 12:42 pm

interior still has the same problem

seats to low dash too high

Post by **mtb4x4mad** » Wed May 05, 2004 12:56 pm

Does that mean the suspension will be different from the current specification? Is it still solid axle?

Post by **landy_man** » Wed May 05, 2004 1:01 pm

i cant see a diff centre in the front on pic....
perhaps the scoop is covering it

Post by **patrolman** » Wed May 05, 2004 1:12 pm

its UGLY

Post by **antt** » Wed May 05, 2004 1:45 pm

here's a lightening job i did in photoshop, cant make out a diff

hold on, maybe there is, have a look in the second pic in the circle

Post by **Guy** » Wed May 05, 2004 2:44 pm

Its still live axle .. or they have done something remarakble with the wishbones to make em sit so high ...

Post by **Guy** » Wed May 05, 2004 2:54 pm

The factory bumper on the GU has always been fooken ugly ..

Get a decent bullbar on it should improve its looks no end ..

Perhaps the end for the TD42 ???
Titan V8 ?? (that would be very :cool:

)

That's horrid

Roly,

have you got any specs on the new diesel? I presume they will still keep the 4.8 in it's current from and the 3L is staying... surely they'll upgrade the 4.2 :roll:

unless their latest is a bling front mount!

Post by **Fathillbilly** » Wed May 05, 2004 7:27 pm

not enough tube work for my likes, and those flairs look 60 series

:crazyeyes:

and wher is the emoticon that spews up all over the place

:roll:

Post by **muppet_man67** » Wed May 05, 2004 7:41 pm

it reminds me of the lexus just cheaper

Post by **Big Red Toy** » Wed May 05, 2004 8:01 pm

well 6" lift kit, bar work, d/lights and q78's would look sweet

I'll have one if some-one cough's up the 60k for one

Post by **alki** » Wed May 05, 2004 10:48 pm

I can't see front hubs.Is it full time?
Also there's no second lever(high range/low range selector),perhaps Pathie stile electronics.

Post by **spazbot** » Wed May 05, 2004 11:10 pm

there is a second lever you can see it there

thats the Super safari version which they sell in saudi etc with all the bling optional extras etc 4.8 lt , 280hp or so

RIP Patrol :cry:

That is as Gay as they come... With Paj rear lights, or is that some smart Photochop work?? :?:

From the local nissan bloke and a bloke who works for Nissan in our club, THERE IS NO UPDATE TO THE TD42!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! You cant improve on perfection... :cool:

Also STILL NO AUTO IN THE 4.2!!!! :bad-words:

I dont mind it. As for the bumpers, who cares they are going to get replaced with a Bullbar and steel tyre carrier rear bumper anyway.
Then a 3"susp kit and some 33's and I would have a nice tourer.

why a 3 inch lift .. 33's fit from factory !!

fugly

pretty much sums it up. Cant see myself in one. Pretty much shames me the fact that i own a patrol.

Surely it could have been better than that...

Engine options???

TOM

TOM

exactly the same as now..
4.8 or 4.2 TD6

Post by **-Mick-** » Thu May 06, 2004 4:00 pm

It's not so bad, at least its solid axled. That's becoming a rare creature

The cut out for the petrol cap in the flare is an absolute shocker.
Ditto about the auto option with the TD 4.2. THe only regret that I have with mine.

Post by **roly** » Sat May 08, 2004 10:08 am

I'm sure there are companies out there doing a aftermarket option. What box do they end up using? I think from memory Bogged is the only TD42 auto around. Anyone else with info?

I have seen other tD42 autos in the GQ, are these not factory?
