Thanks

Thanks everyone, I can see I'm going to enjoy being here. All very well being on a Nissan 4x4 forum but I need a Nissan 4x4
Wheelie, thanks for your offer, may take you up on that but starting to feel a bit of a fraud right now.
Looking hard but not much about it seems.
Still getting to know the protocols here so apologies if this sort of chat should be elsewhere.
Still can't 'get to blue' so no access to other bits of site.

Don't worry Rusty, Banshee will be on it contacting the site owner for you.

There are several members on here who still remain on here even though their 4x4s are long gone but instead stay for the banter and community we have. Take your time and get the right truck, theguys here will offer you stacks of trol advice.

Barrbeast, is it the era I'm looking at that is risky or the 3.0l specifically? Would the 2.8 be better of similar age be any better.....Just shout anyone if this should be elsewhere... now fishing for advice in the welcome section!

That era of 3.0 is what's risky bud as those are some of the first 3.0s. If I was looking at that age I'd personally consider a 2.8 instead but they're not perfect either as they can have head gasket issues and they aren't as powerful as the 3.0s although like most engines they can be tweaked.

I should say Mr K, one of the Trol owners on here had his 2.8 HG go and he's swapped in a rb25 skyline engine.

Welcome mate

When I bought my Patrol I thought long and hard as to which would be the better engine to get and ended up getting the 2.8 but had massive problems with it. I've also seen many early 3.0's have 130k+ miles on them no problems. If I were to go back and do it again I still don't know which is the best option unless you buy a late 2003 onwards, but saying that I might still lean toward a 2.8.

I still think the best sounding Trol engine is most definitely the 2.8, with a 3 inch exhaust and a chip it goes great and sounds awesome :clap

I think the best thing to do is just get the best overall truck and you will be ok doing all your normal checks.

Late to the party as always but welcome mate :thumb2

 

[jims-terrano]

Woohoo, you've gone blue:thumbs

 

[Rusty Horse]

Hey I'm Blue. :thumb2

Great - what now - oh yes, I remember, buy a Patrol.

Firstly though, what's the etiquette on where I post if I'm just looking for buying advice, general info or an opinion on a potential Patrol and what problems may be lurkin' - that sort of thing?

Are there any members buying guides on here (had a look but nothing obvious but still trying to find my way around)?

Thanks

Too late, you had the chance, now you're here, stuck, like the rest of us...

Means you can post in all the sections now. Take a look in the downloads section in quick links at the top right.
Don't worry about posting in the right place as we have a couple of mods who'll point you in the right direction.
