1985 Nissan Patrol review from Australia and New Zealand
"Go anywhere, any day"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much to report on so far. Have replaced all drive line oils, wheel bearing grease just to be on the safe side.
General comments?
This was a stock short wheel base when I bought it. It went anywhere with the little skinny split rims, have now fitted 31x10.5/r15 Toyo m/t tires. Will blow land cruiser away, will go anywhere.
