Nissan Patrol GR 3.0

Hi does anyone know about this year x model nissan.

2001, 3.0L, y61, trooper nissan GR. reviews

Does Anyone know are they the one to saty clear of,

Or is this model the best.

Cheers

i have a 2001 gu patrol.I let the tires down to 20 psi or less and nothing down the beach or sand dunes stops it.Does a little over 900km to both tanks.

Mind you i have chip and 3inch exhaust.Over all very happy :)

I owned a Y61 model (Patrol 3.0dit) for 10 years and I dont really understand how all this people can tell so much rubbish about such strong-powerfull-stopless real 4x4.

I sold it @ 250.000km for 12.500 euros, and belive me I HAVE DONE 3 SEVICES ONLY!!!! driven always on highwy at 150km/h and country road with lots of bumps, plus the off road, across rivers, 1meter of mud, sand ICE and so on...

UNDERSTUD!!! I changed oil and filters 3 TIMES in 10 years of heavy duty stress.

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AT ALL, @ 200.000km I just cleaned the injectors and adjusted the clochet.

So all you people with fake problems and -lotta wanna talk rubbish of something I dont know: Shush and drive your economy car and complain for something real.

Patrol 3.0l GR has been less reliable than my old Disco - flywheel gone spending more time in garage than anywhere- can't get parts. Bought it to cope with winters in N E Scoland but not sure if it can as spent more time in garage. Have borrowed a Peugot 206 and this works better than the Patrol.

Nissan Patrol 3litre GR turbo diesel. The only vehicle I have ever owned where the exhaust system outlasted the fuel tank (three and a half years) the exhaust system is still going strong. Diesel fuel pump does not like frosty north of Scotland winters - re built for £2,000.00p. Spare parts very expensive - £300 plus for brake calipers. Sway bar/ antil roll bar £1,300. Nissan UK worse than useless - does Nissan Japan realise just how poor the dealership service really is???? Any future new vehicle - I will check out the cost of spares first.

my nissan patrol 3 litre gr, just blown 2 cylinders,and the others don't look too clever,so i'm still paying for a car that is doing the wrong kind of off roading,at least the landrover discovery we have just plods on,and is older,me thinks won't be buying japanese anymore.

We have owned a Nissan 3.0 turbo diesel for 8 years . Its on its 3rd engine and only done 92000 miles . Nissan UK have been useless and deny that there is a design fault with the engine . I really don't understand why these vehicles get reviews stating there bullet proof.My advice is avoid like the plague and buy a Toyota or Land Rover instead .

Purchased used Nissan Patrol 30k miles, chosen for claimed reliability and lower priced than equivalent 4x4's. I actually quite liked it and it was civilised on road, however it did prove unreliable with various electrical problems. It was only average off road and build quality was poor compared to some of it's rivals, indeed the front foot wells sufferred serious corrosion and some panels were flimsy and dented easily. I now own a Land rover Defender, and quite frankly it is far superior to the Patrol. The Defender may be crude on road, but it is unmatched off it, it is also better built, much more robust and despite what other envious 4x4 owners spout, it has no serious rival, the Landcruiser is probably the best of the rest.

Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Turbo Diesel

Blew out a piston & turbo @ 148000 km driving on the highway @ 130KM/Hr

Engine loosing cooling liquid since 120000 km.

Very robust car, the 3.0 diesel engine has worthless quality however.

Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 turbo diesel will blow piston and turbo before it reaches 200,000 kms. this is a very common problem. the motor will cost you a minimum $12,000. nissan are obviously very aware of this problem
