Nissan Patrol GR Y61 RTA Ready to Adventure (from N.E. Italy)

[Enrytre]

Hallo to all ,
let me introduce myself my name is Enrico and I live in northeastern Italy in Vicenza.

I'm sorry but I do not speak English very well , but thanks to Google transalate I read a lot of your interesting forum (though often to smile for the translation English to Italian ).:sombrero::sombrero:


I'm building an RV based on a truck Iveco Eurocargo 4x4 here is the link http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...Iveco-Eurocargo-95e21ws-(from-Nord-Est-Italy)

but since I can not finish the project for the upcoming holidays and the desire for adventure is a lot I decided to sell my BMW 325i and replace it with a Nissan Patrol GR Y61 model Year 2002

I'll post some pictures :Wow1::Wow1: and specifications :Wow1::Wow1: of the car to read your comments

Here are my happy women after the test of the monster ...:ylsmoke::ylsmoke::wings::wings::Wow1:

Here is a list only of the main changes :

Nissan Patrol GR Y61 2002 with 161500 Km, bodywork and mechanics perfect, just serviced.
All changes legally approved .

The machine 'so' staged : +10 arrangement with King springs and shock absorbers TPS stems from 22mm reinforced , multi-adjustable with separate canister , front and rear panhard reinforced the " Ironman " , caster plates for the correction of the " Ironman " , struts higher reinforced and adjustable rear of the " Ironman " kit repositioning of the stabilizer bars with adjustable rods CNC, all the grommets and bushings panhard - struts etc. . replaced.

Front bumper . and post . Heavy Duty , snorkel , winch Champion 12000 lbs with dual controls ( wire and radio ) with new dyneema cable , battery , dual battery 100 has , AVM manual hubs , red circles modular 16 " tires General Graber AT2 ( equivalents of Goodric All Terrain ) 315/75 R16 ( also approved the 35 " R16 12:50 ) , side steps , tow bar , air compressor with tank 10 liters , radio with rear view camera and monitor in color, cb , modified exhaust , additional chip unit insertable and disengaged 160 - 190HP , modification turbine button to switch off ABS , etc. . Approved booklet also the maximum width of the roadway and additional lights front and rear .

what do you think of the choice? I was undecided between Land Rover Defender 110 and Toyota HDJ 100 but both are too expensive here in Italy my Patrol instead in excellent condition and professionally trained, I paid "only" 13,500 Euros ....

Waiting for your views comments a warm greeting from Italy

Bye Enrico

I LOVE IT! in fact I'm drooling. I wish I could find a patrol in Canada. (at a reasonable price)

 

[Enrytre]

Thank's Bushnut ...

.... Perfect ...

....but I'm drooling for Canada if I could would start tomorrow morning for your wonderful country ...

....then do it this way : you fly in Italy and drive my Patrol in the month of August and I fly into Canada and drive your 4x4 ..

.. do you agree? :smiley_drive::ylsmoke:

Two dreams realized by spending little money ...:victory:

 

[bushnut]

money and time brother...two things I don't have..
but a lovely idea...
as well my old Pathfinder is not nearly as built as your Patrol, though if you do ever make it to Canada I'd love to show you around.(it is a very BIG place)

Amen ... at the top of most of our lists, one presumes. Certainly at the top of mine.

Enrytre, I'm in love with those Y61 Patrols ... and it sure looks like you got a prime example with yours - I even like the color and modifications that have been done. I don't know the market for those vehicles where you are, and we never got them here in the US, so forgive me when I say that it sounds to me like you made out well getting yours for 13,500 Euro ... here, the only time we see any of the Patrols for sale, is usually after they've made it past the "25 Year Rule" - so, now, model year 1989 or older - and are readily importable; but since they were never sold here and are quite rare even if they have been imported easily/legally, they are often still more than 20 - 25 thousand USD (for good condition and low miles).

Nice truck. Nice to see another patrol on here. I'm in UK and slowly getting there. Can't beat the patrol in any way in my mind. Ticks every box for overland travel.
Here's mine

Thanks guys for the positive comments

In Italy, the Patrol is very common was a successful off-road and they are many.

The price of my without modifications be around 8,000 euros

Look 38" http://www.autoscout24.com/Details.aspx?id=226567742&cd=635355321730000000&asrc=st|fs

on my previous owner has spent about € 15,000 of changes and approvals I think I did a good deal 8,000 +15,000 = 23,000 Euros I have bought for 13,500

I tried looking for a Toyota HDJ 80 but they are hard to find and are very expensive and with half a million kilometers, a HDJ 100 but they are still expensive and with so much electronics ....

The Land Rover Defender 110 in addition to being expensive in Italy do not like my wife because is it not comfortable to use all day ...

I think the Patrol GR Y61 is a good compromise price / quality mechanical / comfort / look / space for 4, etc. etc.

only time will tell if I'm right

are looking for a good carrier for the Patrol as soon as I find it I would like to put on this new Quechua

video (I'm sorry but I have already phoned the blonde is not included in the price!) :drool:

I build a closing rear using 2 or 3 sheets Quechua

or using their gazebo near the rear doors open Patrol ...

or even better the air gazebo since I am allergic to tent poles

For the stove I thought one diesel so not the problem of LPG

Nice model Faulco .... the last Patrol serie ... dirt is even more aggressive

 

[faulco]

You gotta have dirty truck pics. Lol. That's a nice beast you've got. How much was the lift and where did you source it?

I'm not sure of your question Google translate tells me a strange thing?

if you mean how much high the trim is + 10 and the dampers are built craft not in large numbers.

Bye Enrico

 

[nasko]

great trucks, both of them. I still do not understand why Nissan decided against bringing the Patrol here in North America. I can't see how it won't be popular here in Canada...


Cheers

Very nice Patrol you have there. I look forward to seeing more pics and reading about your trips.

My brother lives in Milan, which is about 2 hours from your area. he works at the Ferrari plant doing a contract software maintenance job. I can't wait to visit Italia real soon.

You know I share the same idea with you. I believe the patrol will definitely be very popular here in North Armerica. I want that rugged look and love it. This is as close as I could get mine to look rugged.

 

[bushnut]

were did you get that tire carrier?
