Outer Limits 4x4 Board

How come the rest of the world gets them but we dont????

how come other people win lotto more than once?


There wouldnt be enough demand for them for the price they would charge.

swb GU's anyone got photo's

they look sweet i'd buy one

I want one .
Did here a story that nissan did bring one to Aus. It was only used for and overseas ad campaigne though. Bugger.
Also heard storys of some in QLD, But never actually seen one. I know poeple looked into getting them from NZ but the price started to get pretty silly. Almost worked out cheaper to get a LWB and cut it up.

Id rather a GQ shorty for $11k, and spend $20,000 on making it more than the shorty, then bank the $10k extra...

I drove one just like this in S.America, it was slightly used though. I really liked the truck, sure had a lot of nice features and seemed very capable for off-road.

how come we have not had Patrols in the USA since 1969!?
why ask why....

they don't carry enough passengers to be exempt from the luxury car tax. if they did bring them in they would be about $5k dearer than the LWB. can't imagine they would sell many...

the mining spec wagons only carry 5 people, same as the shorties right? (no rear seats in the pov pack wagons)

I'd pimp one!
They are so bad ass!

the pov pack wagons come in just under the price threshold. they could bring a pov pack shortie in, but probably not enough market.

Isnt there a swb with 8 seats or something, it has seats along the windows like a troopy.

I seen MQ/MK's this way. The high roofs but they had side seats in the rear, stock. I seen them both ways, normal and troopie style. Never seen a GQ or GU with that though....would be cool.

that's be pimpin!! and a good way around it...

now someone email the marketing dudes at nissan and tell them we are onto something, tell them to give me a free one to advertise the market.

I found the link to a 8seater shorty.
http://www.nissan.com.sa/vehicles/patro ... ations.htm
Hardtops are the swb, comes in either 5or8 seater, in the S mdl.
Also can be had with the 4.5 and 4.8lt petrols.

The lwb comes in 7, 9 or 10 seaters.


No luck on a picture but am working on it.

i saw some pics of an oz one on offroader.com.au, you would be able to get one here but you would have to import it yourself which wouldnt be cheap

fair bit of rear overhang... but still nice looking vehicle

The rear overhang looks pretty much the same as a wagon, if you had one, you could start by bobbing the ass a few inches

i found some photo's of them start of last year.
Look sweet as, i think the way to go would be to buy a lwb and chop it up

Had a mate that looked into importing one. During researching how to go about it he was told they wouldnt let them be imported privately as they where not different enough from the GU wagons imported by nissan. He found this odd as surfs could be imported and are the same as a runner, but that was the word.

how good would a 4.8L petrol shorty go!!

how good would a 4.8L petrol shorty go!!

There is a guy in Christchurch, NZ that runs the 4.8L petrol in a SWB GQ. Goes pretty hard by all accounts! Will find out in a few weeks time when he comes up for the local Winch Challenge

Cheers
Mitch

hmm

There r heaps in arabia. My friends dad has one. He got pov pack so it be lighter in dunes. its bit of a boring car and smells stingie.

Be good to do up, cut all the plastic shit of it.
