Dreadnought has gone
So Dreadnought has found a new home outside of Bloemfontein, and will sport FS numberplates very shortly. Farewell Dreadnought.
And I have been shopping around for some time. And decided on a Nissan Patrol.
It has 2 solid axles, loads of power, plenty space and a proven reputation (mostly ignored in South Africa).
This morning we visited Supaquick Fishers Hill, and now is fitted with Cooper STT (nearly fitted the first set of ST Max in South Africa), also a set of 16" 8J American Racing ATX Series rims. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... 2FMach+Lip" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This coming week, we'll add a snorkel and full TJM Suspension.
Before RTH I want to add front bumper and rock sliders.

Very capable vehicle. What is the consumption of the patrol?

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Very good vehiles, difficult choice between the new (ugly) cruiser and the Patrol wich comes cheaper and better equiped.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Thanks friends.
George, I have heard figures of 25l per 100km.
The Patrol has been a favourite of mine for MANY years (a real halo vehicle in my view). And this Y61 still has solid axles front and rear; exactly what I wanted for long time (and the boss is happy with the airbags ABS requirement).
Hoppy, I looked at the Cruisers for a long time, but they are very pricey for what you get. And the new Prado (which I love) as like with the previous is IFS and looks a bit like a marshmallow which was left inside the microwave (but it is supremely capable and very comfortable). I have had a G specced Patrol as a company vehicle in a previous job in a far flung african country as well as G specced Cruiser 80 in another country and I loved both.
Johan, Dreadnought het nie probleme gegee nie. Dieselpomp en injectors is gecheck so 3 weke gelede, en alles was perfek binne spec. Ook alternator, starter en glow plugs onlangs vervang. Het ook 'n spesiale free flow laat insit wat Mark groot insette op gehad het, en die verskil na die nuwe uitlaat was groter as toe die chip ingesit is. Die verskil was so drasties dat ek die idee van 'n Intercooler laat vaar het. So raai wat gaan gebruik word op RTH?

Baie mooi Heinrich! Ek het self 'n Nissan Patrol gehad en dis baie lekker voertuie daai en voor ek 'n 80, 100 series of Prado koop sal ek eerder gaan vur die Patrol. Dis jammer hulle het hom hier by ons van die mark af gehaal en jy het net die 3.0lt gekry wat maar lui was.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Baie dankie almal. Ons sal hom bietjie toets op Kungwini
Fred, hierdie meneer is die 118kw 3.0l Diesel. Hy voel lui, maar die speedo wys ietsie anders.
Ek vernoem altyd my voertuie na bekende skepe. My DC Hilux was Dreadnought, en hierdie Patrol sal bekend staan as Repulse; veral ook omdat heelwat mense 'n Nissan so afstootlik vind.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Nee wat Heinrich,
Nou het jy 'n tenk!
'n Patrol is 'n baie capable voertuig, maar word erg ge-underestimate hier aan die suid punt van Afrika. Ek weet Nissan se diens is nie so hot nie.
Hou ook jou oog op daai enjin - baie geneig om heads te kraak - dalk gou-gou 'n EGT monitor insit?

Geluk Heinrich.
Dis n ordentlike wa wat jy nou het. Die lewe is te kort om net Toyota te ry.
Waar het jy daai wiele gekoop? Hoe vergelyk hulle prys met Dick Cepek wiele?
As ek eendag weer geld het, wil ek ook so mooi stel wiele vir die Jeep opsit.
Het die Nissan n long range tank in?

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Thanks Riaan, Bennie, Andy, Tumelo & Thabo.
Thabo, na navorsing op hierdie ding vir so 2 jaar weet ek waar groot deel van die probleem is met gekraakte heads. Moet nie hierdie ding chip, tune en freeflow nie..... Los Nissan se ECU om sy werk te doen, overboost is jou vyand. Die wat bekend gestaan het as Handgrenate was ook meestal die met 'n klein sump. Hierdie een neem amper 7l se olie. Ek kry beter diens by Nissan op my XTrail as wat ek al met meer as 1 Hilux gehad het, en hulle is ook vinniger. Clutch op die Patrol is so R2,700; en clutch op die Hilux is was R7,500, beide is by die handelaars.
Dankie vir die comps op die bande. Tumelo, is there any other tyre than Cooper?? I am on you with it.
Riaan, die rims was R7,600-00 gewees. Ek dink dit is so R100-00 per rim minder as Dick Cepek. Toe ek daardie rim sien was my besluit DADELIK gemaak. Ek het hulle gekry by Autoquip Fishers Hill (waar ons die specials kry op Cooper Tyres). Die rims is al maande op die rak, mense is mal oor hulle, maar wil blykbaar nie die geld uithaal vir hulle nie.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Mark, the Diesel will return about 10l per 100km.
Yesterday spent some time with one major accessory; my Hilux Club Sticker.
Also installed a snorkel. My dad is going in for major-major surgery tomorrow and we had a father and son session. He sat on his camp chair and watched me wrestle Repulse.
I've never had it so tough installing a snorkel. That Patrol body is VERY hard steel. And it has a steel breather pipe which is bolted and glued to the body. Took some time getting that out. Did use some lessons I have had on snorkels I have done on Hilux's in the past. The installation came out very good, and I know it is completely waterproof. The hole saw that I have used for 3 Hilux Vigo installations, is now scrap or an ashtray after yesterday.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
SOOOO WAAR IS DIE FOTOS WAT JY SO BELOWE HET???Traveler wrote:Mark, the Diesel will return about 10l per 100km.
Yesterday spent some time with one major accessory; my Hilux Club Sticker.
Also installed a snorkel. My dad is going in for major-major surgery tomorrow and we had a father and son session. He sat on his camp chair and watched me wrestle Repulse.
I've never had it so tough installing a snorkel. That Patrol body is VERY hard steel. And it has a steel breather pipe which is bolted and glued to the body. Took some time getting that out. Did use some lessons I have had on snorkels I have done on Hilux's in the past. The installation came out very good, and I know it is completely waterproof. The hole saw that I have used for 3 Hilux Vigo installations, is now scrap or an ashtray after yesterday.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Mark, ek is besonders beindruk.
Ek het vinnig geleer sy swakpunte is die fisiese grootte en die gewig.
Moeilik om hom deur baie tight plekkies te kry. Aan die begin van die Echo roete moet jy tussen bome deur. Ek het klomp van daardie draaie maar moeilik gevind.
Voordele is hope krag, en baie goeie artikulasie op die aste, en hy is BAIE gemaklik.

Re: Dreadnought has gone
Thabo, hy is 2009. Sou nie omgee vir 2010 nie. Maar hulle is almal dieselfde. Nou nie juis 'n model waaraan Nissan torring of karring nie. Hy is reeds perfek.Thabogrobler wrote:Watter jaar model is jou wa?
Cassie, gladnie. Ek het geweet presies wat ek soek. Ek het lank die 76 Cruiser vergelyk, en selfs die 200 oorweeg. Die FJ was net vir my te beknop. Ongelukkig was die Toyota handelaars almal maar ewe arrogant. Gelukkig het ek al goeie ervaring gehad met beide die 80 Cruiser en die Patrol, so het geweet hoe dinge loop. Was vir my belangrike eienskap om Soliede aste voor en agter te hê. Natuurlik het dit die 200 uitgeskakel.CasKru wrote:Jis Heinrich... ek is bly jy het nie enige "hang-ups" oor jou nuwe wa nie...
enigste hang-up is hoe die bestuurder te werk gaan. Dink volgende is dit 'n unimog.
