I have a mate who's Patrol used to be 16' rims, he put the nice flash 17' alloy rims on, and it drives like a slug now.........
he regrets it

Smirke's 21-64 OB ....getting closer
- Thread starter Smirke
- Start date
I think they are the 17' ones. Hubby wanted the bfg ones but they weren't available, same with bigger sub tank, so got the coops and the larger main one. Will def give those guys a call at united. On holidays for the next 2 weeks, so will have time to take it there
Was going to suggest you get in touch with the Pootrol King @Smirke ... I go away from the computer for half an hour and he beat me to it 
Agree about talking to Matt at United as he has helped my brother in law a few times with issues on his patrol, harvester and tractor LOL.

Can picture Bill's face.... Mine would have been the same when we went from the 16' tourer to the 17' Outback. The Prado almost didn't know the 16'er was behind it
My Prado has lately been renamed "The Playdoh" by someone else that drives a Pootrol

That's good to know, as we are close to there. My brother has helped out a lot by checking a few things. Found a hole in the rubber tube going to the turbo ( think that's what it was connected to). My parents had the old 2 door patrol with orange pinstripes. That was a legend of a car. This one doesn't even come close unfortunately.
Love the playdoh name Dagree ! Were looking at one until we saw what it could pull, plus my boys are getting bigger by the second.
We got pulled up the oyster bridge hill by a Pajero ( not a good moment).
(Being from perth I'm assuming you've gone to coral bay)
Due to the vulgar meaning of the word "pajero" in Spanish (which means "w@nker" ) it is known as the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain hunter" ) in Spain, the Americas (except Brazil), and India, and as the Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom.

I have been to Coral bay twice - 1990 and 2013
it has changed a wee bit
never had time to wander around there in 4wd...... only ever been day trips

mind you, I am NOT saying all Pajero owners are the above (my father & his wife have one)
just saying, thats all............
One reason I got rid of the Pajero that I had
Apart from being a gutless and uncomfortable piece of $4!t
We head up each April. My boys love it. It certainly has changed. I went there with my parents when it was known as "maud's". Also use to go to monkey mia when you almost needed a 4wd to get there.
Very commercialized now, but still nice.

just found this on nissanpatrol forum site
I am also new to the site and have a 2003 GUIII 3.0L Auto with 131,000 on the clock. The main reason in bougth mine second hand with 127,000km was because it fitted my needs and price range. It was a genuine one owner with full nissan service history (for what it,s worth) and has been serviced every 5,000km (accroding to logbook). It had a chip and exhaust upgrade do before i bought it. As its not a daily driver it sits in the garage 5 days a week with the od short drive on the weekend. Mainly used to tow 2 tone ski boat (does it with ease) up and down the coast 4 times a year and always take it on family hol,s.
Since buying i have done the general servicing myself (will get mechanic to do all other) i will keep up the 5,000km service of replace oil,oil filter,fuel filter and air filter. Hoping this will prolong the engine life.
I like the sound of that............
