A workmates rig.
Very hard to start when it's a hot day and hard to restart when it the motors been warmed up.
Any clues? Fuel pump?
cheers, sudso

I have the same problem but in my GQ which has a different fuel pump
to the GU .
Althought I bet it is the fuel pump.

Go to the Patrol4x4 forum website. There has been plenty of discussion on it and it turns out to be a pump issue. It can be fixed with a plate and o'ring.
I have similar problems with my 2.8GU. I put in a larger battery and it seems to fire most times within 3 seconds when hot. In extreme cases it is known to pour cold water over the pump.

Have you got a link to this article nath69. It sounds like a pretty simple fix.
The Nissan dealer in town want $2000 to fix it
