As I will be looking at getting NADS done when I get my GU, can you give me an idea of the price. most people tell me to do it myself, but if its cheap enough would rather pay someone to do it properly. Thanks

Thank you for all the feed back, although some have still tried pushing me towards a 4.2, saying they have the same or slightly better fuel ecconomy than the 3.0. I'm pretty much sold on the 3.0's, thinking about when I eventually do my cape trip, there are a hell of a lot more 3.0's around than there are 2.8's so parts in the middle of no where would be more so available than that of a 2.8. from what I've been reading even though some are still pushing me towards a 4.2 is there any reality to the fuel ecconomy being as good or better than a 3.0?

Can people give me some first hand feedback on the 3.0 auto transmissions? are they problematic like the auto's in the GQ's?

Does any one know where I can get the Nissan Patrol NADS mod done in or around the Brisbane or Ipswich area?

I will be doing the servicing myself, same as have done with my GQ the only time a mechanic has been involved with it was when the torque converter went..

I've updated my post my GQ is a TB42S Carby with auto transmission, From what I've been reading going to a 2.8 I'll near double my fuel ecconomy and to better again if I get a 3.0 GU, a 4.2 just isnt a possibility unless I win the loto as my budget is around the 15K mark. Regards

I'm looking at upgrading my GQ Petrol TB42S to a GU in the future, My budget wont permit upgrading to a 4.2, so will be limited to a 2.8 or a 3.0. I've heard and read pro's and con's for both, but more people and mechanic are recommending me getting a 3.0 as opposed to a 2.8, they say the 2.8 was around only for 4 years before the 3.0 which has been around for over 12 years now, the biggest concern with the 3.0 is the "grenade" title it has due to it blowing up and or melting pistons 3 and 4. From what I've been reading etc, blocking off the EGR is number one job and installing a catch can is number two job, some people and forums are saying installing dawes valves etc, but the mechanics I have spoken to have said thats over kill as it only takes control of the turbo away from the computer, they are saying just blocking the EGR and installing a catch can is enough. I also want to find out is the "grenading" of the 3.0 specific to Auto's or manual's or both? Every second GU I see driving around have the 3.0 badge on the back . so there are plenty driving around, I know the reason there is so much info about the "grenading" of these is due to people complain about things when something goes wrong as opposed to if everything is running fine they have nothing to complain about. Any info or advice I can get from fellow club members would be greatly appriecated, including how many member actually have a 3.0 and what if any dramas they have had with it. Another thing concerning me about going for a 3.0 is its fly by wire as opposed to the 2.8 or 4.2. My best mate and I are planning a trip in a few years time to the Cape, so I will be wanting a GU that will get me up there and back with the least dramas if any. Thanks in advance

Does a 98 series 1 GU have a transponder built into the key?
