Can't believe this clown bought another patrol, absolute bogan, unsubscribing! That'll teach him.
Ps he says 30 year old 4wd but its only 27 year old, obviously can't do math.
ShoUldA bOuGHt a 40 gRaNd 80 sEriES
Wasn’t he a maths teacher before 😀…. ? Nice GQ though
the almighty trolls. wat a sad life u must have or just pure jealousy.
@@tbillington why
😂
You're going to fall in love with the GQ. Don't believe the kettle rubbish. The NA will NOT overheat as long as the standard cooling system is in good working order. They only overheat after being turbo'd & cowboy tuned by muppets chasing stupid numbers out of an engine that was never designed for big power. By all means throw a turbo on it but keep it under 18psi & put a quality front mount on it.
Beware the first time you crack the thermostat housing bolts. The long one is notorious for snapping.
When you do the chop, sort the gutters so that you don't drip water on the window switches every time you stop with the window down in the rain.
Upgrade the front brakes to ones from an efi model GQ. Be sure to get the efi caliper bolts to. You're gunna need those. The twin piston efi calipers make a big difference when you need need to stop.
The glovebox lid makes a great table.
EDIT: If you are parking it on the street, sort your security NOW as it won't last long otherwise. You can fit a hidden switch to the fuel isolator circuit for under $20 in less than an hour. Won't stop the prepared but it will stop most of the opportunistic.
Cheers for all the info mate!
Well said, hard not to love the gq td42. I have had td42 patrols for just over 20 years now and still love that sweet td42 engine sound. I have a gq and gu both td42's. My gq has 600000km and runs like new. These engines are dead simple to maintain and repair.
They all kettle when the origional front skirt is removed to fit a bar and it’s lifted 2”.
The air flows under the radiator, hits the front diff and builds up a higher pressure behind the radiator that reduces airflow considerably.
Then the fitment of a winch and lights finishes any airflow that remained.
@@brucebaxter6923 i ran my first na td42 gq for 5 years with 6"lift and 35's. Done several high country trips, heaps of mud bogging, crossed the simpsom dessert flat out in one drive and many more adventures flat out without overheating issues. I think many people have no overheating when na as long as the radiator, fan clutch, radiator cap, overflow bottle and shroud are in good condition. My current na gq td42 patrol 2" lift, bar and 33's never gets hot even on long hills in the heat. Its got 600000km on the original engine. Never been apart so i'd say its never been hot before i got it. My gu td42t gets hot tho but its running a bit more fuel pressure and makes good power.
@@brucebaxter6923Sorry but that just isn't true. I have all those things, never had skirts, never get hot. Got 4 mates with same rigs bit various tyre/lifts & not an issue to be found with none of us running no skirts. Invariably when skirts are what makes the difference, the real issue is deeper in the cooling system or a tuner that is trying to tune to the motor/pump/turbos capabilities instead of the capability of the weakest point in the whole shebang.
Its great to see that your buying oldish vehicles and not just racing out and buying a new vehicle. I’m sure it will have its challenges but will be an awesome car , looking forward to it.
Cheers Shad
He's become a Car Yard Shad...
The mechanic and accessory supplier must be already slapping thier face 😂
@@mountainconstructions 😂😂, good times ahead.
My driveway looking lime a Toyota dealership lately 🤦♂️🤦♂️, the apple hasn’t fallen far with my 2 boys 😂😂
Got to have 33s
I had a TB42 GQ before my GU I own now. It was unstoppable. It walked everywhere I pointed it. The patrol was ahead of it’s time before it hit the road. As far as overheating, just keep the engine mods mild man. Don’t bolt big shitty turbos on it and wind the boost & fuel up to buggery. It will serve you well.
I would love to see it stay mildly modified with maybe just a 2” lift and some 33’s, if that and seeing it hum along the tracks as it would back in the day before the industry pushed everyone to over do their vehicle.
Alas, good shit man.
A rebuilt for sure and keep it factory stock. They have all the grunt you need down low for offroading.
I'm a cruiser man (I own an 80 Series), but I'm also a fan of both the GQ & GU Patrols. If I had room at my house, I'd get a GU Patrol to accompany my 80 Series. Loving that you've stayed with the Nissan brand. You never know, you might end up becoming a brand ambassador for them.😁 The floating mathematical equations graphic overlay and the video zooming onto Demi's face as you explained the manual gear changing process is a classic. Loved it. 😁👍
Thanks mate! 😁
Im a patrol man but love the older Toyota's. These older 4x4's are the real deal, you can really give them a hard time on the toughest tracks when required without much trouble.
Yeah, that zooming mathematical equations over Demi's head is editing gold. Made me LOL. 😁
GQ 4.2 DIESEL Manual!! Mint!! Don't chop, just do standard mods (lift kit, tyres bullbar) looks like a clean car!!
Getting hard to find good examples, I agree. But a good dual cab chop, done properly are mint
I agree. Don’t chop it. But do turbo. I used to own one of these and they do lack grunt even in standard form.
Stock is king
Do the Standard mods. barra it🤣🤣🤣
@@leighwilson6376 🤣🤣
Do not change to a cheap Chinese aluminium radiator, keep the original copper/brass, add some oil to the viscous hub, cut the neck off the fill point for the radiator and install an expansion tank from a TK Barina. The expansion tank will keep the coolant within the cooling system and not fill up the old style overflow bottle.
My old gq td42 had 650 on the clock and ran like a dream, looks like a great base!!!! Gqs just seem to get better with age I love seeing high kilometer examples it just proves how good they are!!
Hey fella, been great watching your channel evolve last few years, all your hard work has paid off! Great you have a partner that's supportive and likes to be involved - must be a tough gig juggling it all with a growing family for you both! All the best and thanks for your hard work and great Sunday arvo viewing 👍
Brilliant choice Tyler!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this.
Extra cabs look awesome I saw one the other day with a comp style tube tray and it was the best thing I've seen all year😁 sooo clean
Well done Demi. You'll be showing Tylz how it's done in no time. Can't wait to see the progress withal the GQ
Damn, dont chop it 😧 shes so clean man for a GQ. But each to own.
keen to see this build and in action. Very nice mate 👍
Yeah. It looks too good to chop. Original un-molested GQ are getting rarer every year w/c will make them more expensive. But it might have roof rust issues and he bought it to make content, so all the best to him.
So stoked, Tyler. I just got one two weeks ago and it's the same colour! Congrats mate. I love the new and old builds, great stuff 👍.
Good stuff mate what an absolute gem. The GQ's are by far the best looking 4x4 🤙
4.2!! Nice. It’ll be your favorite sound. Nice work Demi with the test drive 👌u guys are gunna have heaps of fun 👍
That's awesome. Can't beat the GQ TD42. Smart move you've just grown your audience tremendously lol. Every single 18yr old grom in Australia wants one of these. So they'll be following along the journey
Such a iconic 4wd shape. Love these. Can’t wait to see what you do with it guys. Great job with learning a manual.
I Have 93 TB42 GQ and love it but would love content with the TD42 and look forward to following the build. Gotta love that manual diesel down hill engine braking. Demi did a great job with the manual too, keep up the awesome content!
Go Demi! Really like how you're both sharing more experiences on camera 👍
Cooling system.
Derk water pump
Genuine 82 degree thermo
Alloy plastic adard
The fan you have
And fully seal radiator around and keep factory gaurd under radiator and you shouldn't have issues. That's how ufi does there cooling and they've had these things for a long time. Works well.
This motor is a na black top which doesn't really like big power and hot egts because of the lighter pistons but good news is it's easier to build to turbo spec later.
Good stuff mate! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Well done on the teaching mate. Demi you did a great job 👏.
Looking forward to the build series.
The Td42 is a great engine I daily drove one for years. Stock they don't over heat its only when they have been tuned bad and are blowing heaps of soot. Just maintain it like any car and it will do well for years to come.
If you're in no rush to modify it or build it, any chance you could do a trip or 2 with it stock (maybe a set of MT's) everyone just goes nuts then trips them, a bit refreshing really but otherwise looks like a good buy especially for 9k
Great idea. We can get an idea on its capabilities in stock form and watch it progress over time.
Congratulations. Love these era of Patrols (& Cruisers). Though it looks too good to chop. Original GQ & GU are getting rarer and rarer every year. I bet an original GQ will be worth some pretty penny in the future. But as you said, you bought it to make content for your channel. I always like rig build videos. All the best.
Old Nissans love a bit of the old judo chop on the dash to wake the gauges up in the morning. Never expected a GQ on the channel so quicky, I have a feeling it'll become the channel favourite - everyone loves an older no nonsense classic. The smile on her face when she was on her own says it all haha
Go the Cruiser Bruiser!
Your Gunna love it, theirs just something so special about the TD42.
Bloody oath!
Before I start watching this episode, I must say, I was expecting a GU cab/chassis with a 4.2TD to replace the Nav. Like a His & Hers.
My 1993 80 Series has just clocked 750,000km, but I am planning on rebuilding the 1HD-T. Just rebuilt the Gearbox & transfer case as well as changing it to part-time 4WD.
Hmmmm.... rust in the roof gutter channels, huh? Hassan CHOP!!!
NA stands for Naturally Aspirated, as opposed to Forced Induction ie Turbo or Supercharged
Rev thing is a Tachometer (Tack-omita)
Great editing Tyler! Made Demi look like a natural! Just kudding Demi!!!
The terror in poor little Bub's eyes!
Hey, what about a camper trailer walkaround?
Welcome to the family. Nice buy!
Perhaps you can wheel it in basic mods to see how well a stockish patrol does off-road? You’ve already got a massive twin locked big lift and tyres patrol.
100%
A thought for you, take out the rear seats all of them. Install a flat carpeted base. You'll get storage at the rear doors. Consider gulf wing windows in the two rear windows and set up access to the main things you need. ie: battery and power etc. just saying.
Could be cool!
That GQ looks mint mate
The fan is a great up grade the td42t thermostat is the go with the air dam upgrade as well mate
Ive done some videos on this if you are keen to see the results
Take it easy Byron from WA 👍
Cheers mate!
Love it man. GQ’s are awesome dude. You will love it.
Can't wait!
I'd recommend throwing an aftermarket temperature gauge in it. Thats also a blacktop td42, so keep the boost sane when you turbo it. Good call on the quickaz fan, it's a worthwhile mod. Also if you're chasing a bit of extra comfort - ba/bf/fg xr6 seats go well on hurricane adapters. Looking forward to watching the build.
Love the good old GQ. Keep it up 👍
So good Tyler very impressed Demi did a fantastic job
Tyler, option 2: Lose the Hyundai & keep the GQ as a family wagon given your extended family. Just do a basic suspension upgrade (2"), 33" Tyres AND THEN instead of spending $1000's on chopping/other off road mods, replace the maunual box with an auto & maybe even bolt on a turbo to make it a daily driver. You've already got the Nav' & GU, why have another capable 4wd... unless you're gonna retire the Nav.
Damn bro this channel just keeps getting better
Yes Tyler!! What a rig 🤘
Love the content just keep doing it your way.
Amazing! Can't wait for the cut!
Cut roof off put a aluminium pop up tent on top , still carry 5 people inside but 3 sleep in swags or ya camper trailer towing behind will solve accommodation
Hi Tyler, wish you well on this build, it looks like an interesting project.
My daughter was 3 months old going 4WDing in a GQ with her Dad in the Brindabellas while I was at work. It rocked her to sleep and she loved it. Whenever we hit a dirt road she fell asleep when little. She is now 7 years old.
I’m looking for a GQ so we have a husband here as I want to learn 4WDing too. Plus consolidated spares and less tools needed when we both go out.
Looking forward to this build!
I had no phone for a week and come back Tyler has a GQ 😳 Welcome to the Q bus club mate
Loved the GU I’ve now subbed 😂
Excited for a space cab chop!
Hey Demi, if you can find 'em, grind 'em...! Good work!
Preciosa máquina, aunque tenga casi 700 mil kilómetros, ese pedazo de motor con un buen mantenimiento es para toda la vida,que lo disfrutéis mucho,un saludo desde España.
That’s so true man 👍.
Ahh, ah...a GQ Patrol 4.2 D.
What a great find/buy, at least what your doing is similar to me.. after seeing your vids my wife can now justify why I do the same😁😁😁, well sort of...🤪
Love them GQ's, I'm thinking either leave it as a wagon but if you are going to chop it go space cab, you get a much better tray and can carry more as it's over the axel, plus the look awesome...
Really looking forward to how this vehicle is going to evolve. I'm lovin the content of you channel... 👍
Now you have really done it this time. LOL another build to become a bush weapon 🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
Welcome to the big leagues!👍 GQ patrollin!
Love it! Great vids man
Appreciate it!
I have one of these. Had it for 20years!!!!!!!!!!!! Turbo'd it as soon as I got it only 7lb boost huge difference. In 20 years apart from a water pump I have done nothing to the engine. It has never been apart. 1992 model so 30 years old and spent most of its life towing and full of stuff. I also have a GU 2003 but the older one is nicer to drive
Awesome new truck, look forward to build. Probably best way to learn how to drive manual in 4wheel low...
just bought a 89 patrol, 4.2 petrol, auto. has rust in the roof along the channels. but has also had a few mods to it, BB with winch, cb, roof cage, 2 inch lift, 33" muddies, 12v system (300ah agm), needs the 12v system redone, cost me 7K. am very happy with the purchase, keeping it the way it is, just repairing the rust, fixing the 12v system, maybe upgrading the carby/exhaust, maybe some lockers down the track. but gonna have fun repairing and doing all the work myself.
All the best mate! Sounds great
The patrol bug has well and truly bitten ya Tyler 😂. Next thing you know the navs up for sale and you’ll be rocking a gq Ute and a gu ahaha
Now I want a gq 😆
Another awesome video mate
Hey mate, glad to hear you got one of our QIKAZZ fan kits. Give me a call if you have any questions RE cooling system etc.
Cheers mate
Great buy!! They are a classic
Nice purchase. A little out of the ordinary these days which is a good thing. Does this mean TJ Jack will have one in about a month as well & kit it out the same way you do haha.
I've got a soft spot for GQ's, chopped or not. I look forward to watching YOUR build. With just a few mods, there a go anywhere weapon. "Lock it, Lift it Love it". ps well done Demi, you'll be a gear jammer in no time.
Only just sold my gq dual cab td42 patrol.
Absolutely loved it, was sad to say goodbye after 15 years.
But yeah i reckon an epic hardcore extra cab for real tough play would be great. Could even start looking at comp scene for extra range.
Im now following your dads steps and playing with our mux. Down the road hopefully a dmax will join it, again inspired by your nav mate.
Gee that's pretty clean for 700000k. Credit to previous owner/s that cared for this beauty
In not usually into build videos, but I am keen as to see where you take this! Gunna be a sick rig!
Thanks mate!
Mine is a 1996 4.2 turbo, 500,000km, also gold in colour, it's never overheated and I never knew that overheating was a concern. It's never had any problems. brilliant car. PS: The rattle is probably the grill, it is in mine Lol...
Great effort guys very good
Hi Tyler, I fixed my taco on my gq, it had the same problem as yours, you need to remove it from the dash, replace the 5 electrolytic caps and resolder the circuit board. Check for dry joints on the board of the taco. The whole job takes about 2 hours once you have the replacement caps. Cheers
Love the old diesel engine, sounds like an old bus.
Looking forward to the build mate
Do my dream for me Tyler haha. Pull it all apart and rebuild and respray the lot! A full project car.
A roof too tent integrated into the roof with a full roof length solar panel/s. God it's endless so I'll stop there!
Looking forward to a new build series.
That's a such cool car Tyler, I have a 89 Safari with 234300 ks on it with the 4.2 , they are are classic and will be worth a lot of money in the future
I often wish I’d had kept my GQ 4.2 Diesel wagon. It was a very capable and an economical vehicle to run and service. I especially loved the two air filters, which guaranteed that dust could never get into the engine. Mine had a factory diff lock, which was rare for a 1990s vehicle. Gearing was lower in first and second gears compared to my GU TD42, so it was impossible to stall in low range. You’ve got a great vehicle to start a new build. Have fun with it. I know I would.
Cheers mate!
Enjoyed the episode looking forward to seeing where you go with mods and teach Demi how to drive a manual good job mate cheers and 🍻
Thanks 👍
Jolly Nose brings back some memories of when my mate lived over in Bonny Hills just past the end of the ol Ghost Road
Nice keep the Patrol family going
I met your old man gary today down the footy oval after he had been fishing and thort what better time to catch up on your vids. 😃 small world 🌎 👌
P.s that bream gary got was a fair horse 🎠
Hi Tyler, I did have a overheating problem with my GQ 4.2 na , it was the viscous coupling on the fan, easy fix and it is solved
Wot not another Nissan or Cruiser Bruiser as I saw at the start how many cup holders does it have my 80 has 2 now can't wait for the next video 👍 cheers Tyler
Toyota hilux owner here... love the bogan patrol content .. demi is a weapon!
Weapon.. Literally couldn’t be more happy you got a gold Gq.. gu diffs and a low centre gravity and these things are weapons on hard tracks, perfect weight imo! (Chuck a cruise control system in)
Might be cheaper to do chrome molybdenum running gear than GU diffs nowadays as GU stuff is kinda expensive n getting hard to get.
Nice truck mate👍🏻👍🏻
ya know ya other son TJ is going to want one now 😂
Nice job T-Dawg🍺
"I bought a Nissan Patrol" - TJ's next video 😁😂
@@TylerThompson90 😂
It’s a coincidence 🙊
This is my favorite video so far. Taking the young man out.
Ooft you definitely had me fooled there, did not expect another patrol
If you want to keep that TeeDee42 cool you will need to get your radiator record to larger tubes. I had this problem for years had this done and she’s as cool as a cucumber
Love your work
Thank you!
Got an OPUS...dude you will fricken love it!!!
Yes! A proper low range weapon.
Fantastic. I desperately want one of these (petrol, classic UAE Super Safari with red veleveteen interior and a falcon decal on the rear spare wheel cover). My wife isn’t too keen…
I LOVE THIS 😍
There is nothing wrong with the cooling system with GQ or GU 4.2 diesels, its when you start wanting more horse power out of them the kettle will boil if not done right. I have a GU 4.2TDi with an after market intercooler and have had no cooling issues with. I had AE CO do a Dyno and just do a safe tune on it and it does me. It pulls my 2ton boat anywhere I want it to go.
Cool nice old rig👍✌
Boos Patrol Dude! It will be interesting to watch it being modified.
Do a xtra cab chop with a rear seat. If you get front seats from shorty GQ, or other forward tilting seats you can still have your 5 seats but 2 doors and a longer tray. It's the one option you didn't consider that is different :)
Another mint gem
Nice Fun video to watch
We have a na td42 on 36’s it’s twin locked on 4.88 ratio that just gives it the extra revs , we did put a 4 core triple flow radiator and after that it never got hot and went everywhere
This week on 4wd24/7 we boug... oh whoops, wrong channel 😂 Always been a fan of the GQ. Simple 4wd to mod and travel with. Went down the IFS route though. If I had the cash to build another 4wd I'd get either a GU or Q for sure. She's a quick learner I'll give her that. The last women I tried teaching to drive a manual didn't go so good 😂
😂😂
