Nissan Patrol Y62 (2013–present)
Seventh generation, introduced in Australia in February 2013. A major shift to a luxury-focused SUV with a 5.6L V8 petrol engine (VK56VD, 298kW/560Nm) and a seven-speed automatic transmission. No diesel option, unlike its Y61 predecessor, which limited its appeal to some traditional buyers. Features ALL MODE 4x4 and hydraulic body motion control. Updates in 2024 added wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for Australian models. Still in production as of March 2025, though its V8 powertrain is considered dated by some.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a 2011 Nissan Patrol Y62. However, when I’m driving fast on a straight road and take my foot off the accelerator, the 4H and 4LO lights on the dashboard start flashing alternately, and there is a terrible noise coming from underneath the vehicle. Then, as soon as I press the accelerator again, the warning disappears and everything goes back to normal. Of course, I already had a computer diagnostic check done, but no errors are showing up and it says everything is normal. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? How did you fix it? Please help.

We bought a 2013 y62 (not registered until 2015) last year. Terrific car. Use it for towing our horsefloat and caravan. Not likely to sell but we would like to install a Android Carplay head unit. Will the car camera on the Nissan head unit still work? We bought a Android Carplay unit from AutoBahn for the old 1998 Gu and it worked perfectly. Autobahn and Supercheap are still our go to places in Perth. Are those units ok?

Looking to purchase a used y62 series 3, 4 or 5. Is there anything that I should be keeping in mind or looking out for when inspecting? Are there any mechanical/engine differences in models/years and any to avoid (for example how they fixed the timing chain issue in 2013). Also I’m looking to keep this one for the next 10 years and get it to over 300,000kms. Is this a realistic goal? Thanks guys.

I am based in Qatar and bought a 0 mileage / brand new Patrol in Nov-2023. I'm not an off-roadie, so haven't driven the car on anywhere else than city roads that are absolutely free of pot-holes. I am also not a rough driver and like it smooth. The car has done 27800 kms so far. However, very recently, I started noticing a strange 'clunk' sound coming off the right-side of the car when I'm moving it at super-slow speeds - sometimes it feels like coming from the front passenger side (it's a LHD car) and sometimes from the rear passenger side. The sound is so diminished that it is only audible when I'm maneuvering the car at a slow pace or when I'm trying to put it in a …

Hello all, I am facing an issue with my Patrol Y62 for the last few weeks. Not only is it frustrating but it is also dangerous as the shuts down completely while driving without warning. I will explain below. I took it to my mechanic but the only issue came on the OBD scanner was of a sensor for 4x4. This was replaced but the issue still exists. There is no mechanical issue with 4x4 as we tested it. When the car shuts off, the engine, battery, oil check lights, etc. come on like when starting the car (pic attached). Only things that run on battery power are on at the time. One time the car wouldnt start after shutting off, but did so a…

Dear All, I drove a Y62 2010 model. Few months back while driving in 100-120 kmph with cruise control ON, suddenly the car had a jerking and immediately cruise control turned OFF. And first indication came on the display is of traction control. Within 2 mins all the other check lights turned ON and immediately car dropped the power and stopped in the middle of the road. I restarted the car and it started running normal. Again after 15-20 mins same issue came. there was a knocking from the differential side and gear was not moving from the 3rd. RPM was not going above 1500 i believe. This keep on coming and i consulted a garage and they were unsure about the season. D…

Hi guys, my patrol will be arriving in the next month or so and some help to workout which which bar i go with. I have narrowed it down to the 3 listed above and as hoping to get some feedback from forum members who have any of the bars installed. Strength wise, is there much difference between the 3 loop opp lock bar over the other 2? For those that have the ol bar installed are you happy with overall build quality? Anyone know where they are built? Appreciate some pics if possible. Thank you

New Patrol tackles Big Red What a joke These Nissan people are utter morons, here they had great opportunity to showcase what that unit can do and instead they take it there on the back of the truck as if implying this is how you'll end up if taking this precious barge to anything harsher than Toorak supermarket carpark. Oh well another "Toorak tractor" on sale in Oz. Cheers
