2 Years Daily Driving An LS1 Patrol!

[@turvboi007]

Gu patrol and n70 hilux has always been in my heart for a 4wd

[@Marc180sx]

Both awesome rigs!

My dad owns a 2004 Nissan patrol Ute he bought brand new and still drives it

@@Marc180sx I have recently ran across the Yokohama Geolandar G017 XD AT and it's made in 35x12.50r17 size, seems like the best general use tyre; light, 3PMSF, moderately aggressive tread block design, and a reasonable tread life longitivity from the commercial grade rubber compound. Also would be mint if you could get some 37's the required engineering as you already have the 4 inch lift 😉🤔👍✍👏

[@cuppa-crew5019]

It's good to see the big girl out again . I've got the ls1 gu same kit as yours . I've pretty much had all the same problems as you I've watched the whole series to conquer my problems haha even had the same cracked adapter plate problem took it to a local welder showed them how you got yours fixed and he done the same 🤙 . I was having the same trouble with my rear main , went to supercheap and got a bottle of rear main stop leak and its fixed it . Am not keen to pull the motor again !

[@Marc180sx]

Hey mate cheers for that! I’m so happy that any of this helped you haha we have the same setup! Glad you got your plate and all that sorted, I tried the stop leak but didn’t fix it :( hopefully this is the last time the box comes out fingers crossed 🤞

[@darcykeddell4930]

rear main on an ls not leaking is rare as

[@turkxx]

I'm currently driving a 2.8 and after seeing this I now what an LS

[@keilfestin4606]

Awesome to see the patrol back thought you sold it lol. Hope you had a great new year mate . Keep up the good work.. hopefully more patrol videos

[@Marc180sx]

Thanks mate! I’ll never sell it hahah, you have a good one mate and the patrol videos won’t stop!

[@hillbilly2224]

Great video I’ve enjoyed the whole series on the patrol 🤙🍻

[@Marc180sx]

Cheers mate! Plenty more to come 💪

[@PaddyBoy644]

I’ve owned heaps of Patrols GQ’s SWB and LWB’s, GU… I’d go a TB48 if I brought another one factory powered Patrol plenty of power and smooth and cheap to fix. TB45 is just so under powered once you go over 33” tyres in a GU. Keep up the great work Marc and give us more 4wd videos! My sons into drifting big time we’ve seen you at Calder a few times. Cheers Pat

[@kaydenns]

Agreed that TB45s are underpowered but that’s why u gotta turbo them 😉

[@Marc180sx]

Yeah the 4,5’s are bloody slow but they wake up with a snail on them! Cheers mate appreciate it I hope to bump into you guys at a future event for sure!

[@darcykeddell4930]

the thing the 45 has going for it is pure simplicity and reliability, not fuel economy or power but mine goes alright with extractors and exhaust

[@PaddyBoy644]

@@darcykeddell4930 defiantly agree there mines got 550k on it and still just keeps going

[@darcykeddell4930]

Hi mate, that winch is still sitting here waiting for you 😂🍻🍻

[@Marc180sx]

Hey duddles! Yeah I am definitely gonna come up and grab it off ya asap, once the rear main is fixed 🤣

[@bill13690]

Great work, their Marc. I am still doing some videos on my KZbin channel and still learning to whether they're any good quality or not, so I have to gradually get better and better only as I go along. There are a couple of bad ones that I am thinking of getting rid of and redoing those. I have got spares. I have compressed those videos 10%, which is probably far too low. It is extremely upsetting for me as I do not wish to disappoint my customers. I do have a video of me camping in my campervan last in 2021 - up at Willulooka - later, on some point, I hope to upload that onto my channel. Please do look after yourself and catch up with you again soon. From William. Mount Gambier, South Australia.

[@Swwa89]

Have owned my tuned crd gu with fair few mods for 6.5 years now and it's at 290k been pretty reliable and a great car overall, would love to ls or barra swap it eventually but if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!

[@Marc180sx]

That’s what you want mate! At least it’s been treating you well, if it ever pops definitely time for a v8 or barra!

[@jc3023]

Opening the fuel instead of the bonnet, 😂 I do it almost every time. Mine is a 97 series 1 Gu tb45 with about 550 tho ks has been on club reg for almost a year now. The old GUrl has done her dues. Currently getting it ready for a 3 week Simpson crossing mid year. Would love to do a ls or even a turbo as it's down on power..

[@Marc180sx]

Ahahaha it’s bloody hilarious I do it all the fkn time 🤣 Yeah the 45 has treated you very well! I reckon a turbo to wake it up depending how tired it is and if it’s too far gone definitely look into the LS route!

[@stevenemes3937]

Owned my GU since new, it's a ZD30di with 530k on the clock, original motor no rebuild. It definitely comes down to maintainence and how you treat it.

[@archA64]

GU and LS all the way!

[@Marc180sx]

Hell yes!

[@wazza8396]

Ur welcome to check out the two v8 conversions I have done on KZbin Wazza 8 is my channel mate keep up the great work it’s great to see your progress on ur cars mate

[@Marc180sx]

Cheers mate I’ll definitely gonna check them out tonight bud, thanks!

[@wazza8396]

Ur welcome mate

[@Vivianauxito]

Good video,Marc. Do you have any plan to do an LED upgrade? We produce LED for AUTO. Any chance to explore an opportunity of working out something

[@Marc180sx]

Thanks! Yeah I have the Auxito LED’s in the car now and they are great!!

[@PJSSZ]

should sell me the snorkel when you get a new one! would snatch it

[@Marc180sx]

I reckon we lock that in!

[@the_mystery9803]

fuck yeah man you make me wan to sell my td5 disco and get the v8 😂

[@Marc180sx]

V8 disco would sound good as!

[@lungers8771]

hey man if ya get about 18l/100 does that equate to about 200kms to a 40l tank?

[@adamheazlett1179]

4x4 is not about spinning tyres .A diesel 4.2 will just walk over obstacles.The tyres show your driving skill.

[@Marc180sx]

It’s not about spinning tyres no, some people like horsepower and some like crawling. I prefer the v8 over the diesel as I had bad experiences with my 2.8, if I was to go diesel I would go 4.2 for sure. What do you mean tyres show my driving skill?

[@PaddyBoy644]

Biggest problem is the price of diesel motors and parts, they cost a fortune to build right and repair.

I crack up at 8:39 when you start going hard as, but the car behind you who isnt even trying is still keeping up (even gaining on you) easily hahhaha. Nice car though

[@Marc180sx]

Ahaha yeah that car was sitting on 100 so I wanted to see how much I could pull on it, turns out not very much but it felt quick hahahah

[@BlackSlimShady]

@@Marc180sx it's always fun having a car or motorbike that isn't insanely overpowered though, you can just send it as fast as you can, have heaps of fun and still not even break the speed limit hahaha. Good old times on my wee 250 motorbikes

An LS block for 25 hundy bucks? Can you find me one for that much? 😮
