Just stumbled over your channel for the first time and you do a great, comprehensive, no BS rundown on your vehicle. The whole diesel and adblue thing turns me off dirty diesels so thanks and I’m subscribing.
Thanks mate and welcome to the channel! We love the Patrol It has been a bloody good car! Enjoy the rest of the content and have an amazing day mate! Josh
The people that ask about "petrol in remote places" forget that quad bikes, motorbikes, helicopters, lawn mowers, whipper snippers, some generators to mention a few all run on petrol.
I thought this too till our neighbors with a Y62 in honey moon bay (near kulumburu on the Gibb) where stuck there because kulumburu and Drysdale station had no petrol. They had to spend an extra 2 week there and send a friend on a 12hr trip to Drysdale (once fuel arrived) to get more fuel. So it does happen.
I got my 22 Y62 pretty much standard with all this rain and very boggy conditions around my property only had to engage only once 4wd did it with the greatest of ease otherwise 2WD does it really easy where as my other cars used to get bogged. LOL. Plenty of Deep Water crossings lately over a metre deep cross it no problems without a snorkel. It's petrol engine you really only need a snorkel for diesel can't afford to get water in that can't compress water & it ends up bending your rods. Absolute bugger when that happens. Towing the 3.35 t van no problems. No sags then again I don't carry that much equipment as you blokes so it's never over loaded. I like to keep it simple and only take the basic essentials. The Y62 Nissan absolute Beast. LOL Good content as usual. 🇭🇲😀👍🍻🍻
but they are just too slow off the mark, i like the ability to overtake in the city if i need to, and we had one for two weeks and it just felt so sluggish and heavy compared to our FJs
@@danielmill9120 LOL I don't have a problem dragging cars off at the lights quite exhilarating and scary at times. Used to have an FJ45 you can keep them ,I prefer the comfort of the Nissan limousine interior comfort power and quietness anytime. I'm over overpriced and pasay Toyota's. cheers have a good one 🇦🇺👍🍻
After watching I think I have decided to not supercharge mine and put the money into GVM and GCM upgrades. Our van is only 3.1T loaded, so we're all good there, but would like a bit more capacity for touring in the future.... We're getting between 25-27 L/100 towing, so pretty happy......
Yeah absolutely they are so good the way they are! Superchargers are bloody cool, it all just comes down to what and how you plan on using your car for mate! Thanks for watching!
Has any beautiful human here got any advice on turbo vs supercharging,?? I would rather the spool but ehats the statistics on it? As reliable as superchrger ?
First time I have seen your video. Thanks for beingnso realistic and totally unbiased. I have a series 5 and this has been a real insight into the Y62. Did not mention car jack unless I missed? Just curious Cheers Neil
I wish you the best. I hope The eternal God stays with you wherever you go. Blessings I love patrols but I live in usa. I AM ABOUT TO BUY A NISSAN ARMADA 2018.
Great Information Josh, Just starting my journey into researching the Y62. I like the quality of the Torqit exhaust, do you get a drone when towing from the exhaust ? We have a Discovery 4 love the airbag suspension & very impressed with your A/ bag set up on the Y62. Would your previous 295 tyre fit up under the cars spare tyre well or is it’s diameter too large? Happy travels👍
Cheers mate! No drone with the exhaust, we are really happy with it! I believe a spare of that size would fit under there no dramas mate. Cheers for watching!
I stumbled on your video while I’m looking around about nissan armada(states) overland build and man I’m telling you that I’m really jealous on your build lol. So much after market support in australia. I hope somebody help us out here lol. You cannot get dash bumper or raslarr here.
really liked this Vid, couple of questions if I may... you said starter and a fan were replaced and Im wondering did you go original equipment or did you opt for aftermarket ( under the impression it was better ie, better starter better fan)? Also do you have a lock up kit in your auto for towing and such? I have heard it helps fuel economy and if you do I was wondering your experience with it? Cheers Robb
@@Travellingcampers nice , its interesting that you replaced oem parts with 20 and 30 thousand klms on them with the very same parts that came off and now your up to 90 k and no problem with them. I hope at least the parts were free as they sound defective from the manufacturer
I've got a gu patrol and I'm pretty tempted to get airbag man's coil replacement airbags in the front and rear. I'm pretty nervous biting the bullet, some 4wd shops have actually tried to talk me out of it, but the fact that both your car and van run airbags, it definitely boosts my confidence. The off road van air suspension scene gaining popularity is actually what made me consider it and it seems to have nothing but positive feedback from the owners. I think my concerns just go back to that old school mentality like you mentioned in this video
I know if I had a GU I would do the full airbag option from Airbagman 100%. Trucks have been using them for years and years. Thanks for watching mate and send me a photo once you go full air 😍
It's taken me almost a week just to find somebody to install/engineer it and the bad news is it's going to cost 10 grand. Appreciate the reply mate, but I don't think I'll be going down that road now aha. I'd rather spend that on my 12v set up aha I still think it'd be worth it, but it's hard to justify on old car
Plenty of great information guys🤙🤙 Touching on the towing mirrors, Is it a legal requirement to have them when towing? Or is the rear camera on the caravan enough??
Thanks mate! I think it is mate, I can see everything behind me way more than mirrors! Will definitely grab some though when I find the ones that we want! Thanks for watching mate!
Mate been following your videos and enjoyed every one of them. Finally planning to order one. Best deal I have so for is 103,000 drive away for Ti-L blue with tow kit. Is this a good deal ? Or the dealership can do better than this ? Looking for your thoughts.
Amazing mate! Give Greg a call at Ferntree Gully in Melbourne a call about a price mate, tell him your a fan of the channel and you will get the best care! Josh 👊🏻
Hey mate How ya goin ? I grew up and worked in that town . Hope u went to the famous bakery in town . 😋 Another nice place is Bramston beach and the Garradunga pub for a great feed .Enjoy your stay ✌️
Great vid 👍 - curious on the bush barriers - do you get any scratching on the very small edge sections that are left exposed between the panels? Thinking of getting the bushwrapz and they have similar gaps on edges.
Cheers mate! The gaps are very very small mate so you could get a few! We also have ceramic coating on the paint, once a year or so we still get a cut and polish and any little bits come straight out! Thanks for watching mate!
l also prefer the petrol,,,,,, life is so much simpler. ln my case l will have the Prado 150 though due to its ability to run on 91 octane. 7Ks/litre (15L/100Ks) towing is attractive as well. An older 120 is still a good idea and plenty to choose from.
Hey mate from Merbs 🤙wife and I just ordered a new black y62 from Berri Nissan, 8 month wait but hoping it's worth it. Any advice who we should get mods done mate?
Hey mate, congrats on the new Y62 mate you’ll love it! If you are in Mildura mate hit up Spud and the team from Mallee 4x4 mate they will do an amazing job!
Hey Josh have a questions about mirrors, why don’t you get a set of Next Gen Clearview mirrors that can be have your factory 360° cameras in the Clearview mirrors
@@Travellingcampers enjoyed it much which motivated me. Im also building my rig. Its a 1991 Nissan patrol GQ. 4.2 Carby Station wagon. I've sourced parts from Aussie (cool drive).. Hopefully I should get it on the road by End of November this year.
@@Travellingcampers Thanks dude.. it's a work in progress so hopefully, slowly but surely. Up here in PNG, ARB lift kits and accessories, also terrain tamer are so damm expensive so I'll source them from Aussie. Maybe tough dog, or iron-man, etc... so yeah otherwise, I'll probably need some advise from you.
Unless you're sponsored by Enerdrive don't waste your money on an Enerdrive battery. Not saying that iTech is good however there are other Australian brands selling lifepo4 batteries for half the cost of Enerdrive. Don't be fooled by the Australian brand names. Thanks for the content. Cheers
@@Travellingcampers No offence meant. Don't get me wrong, I haven't see any evidence to show that Enerdrive batteries are of poor quality. My point relates to other LifePo4 Australian brands (not referring to iTech !!!) which cost half or less than Enerdrive are reliable and perform very well.
You nailed it with the old school “it’s gotta be a diesel “ mentality. And the “remote” traveler’s are wankers in my book. As you, I’ve also had no issues finding petrol for my Patrol while travelling. I just shake my head when I see the Toyota 79 series drivers acting like they have the ultimate touring vehicle. They might have back in 1960!!
Yep, 1979 series drivers are shocking (generally). It’s like they have to prove to everyone (and themselves I think) that their ancient pile of junk is actually a decent 4wd😂😂
@Travellingcampers oh that's good then, yea, nah, I was just told. Only take them tootoo people who know how to fix them, as the suspension is a pain to align and stuff. Some people say they have had the problem, yet other say they haven't. I met one guy who said he was going back to a gu because his suspension would go out of alignment if he hit a kerb. That's why my worry is to buy one over a 200.
Just found your channel and theres a lot of really interesting information in this video. The car looks amazing as well. Just some constructive feedback to finish on, you over use the word "absolutely" to the point of distraction (for me anyway) hopefully it's just this video 😬
Welcome to the channel mate and thanks for the kind words and feedback! I am far from perfect mate and we just are who we are, it used to be um, I say so a lot, I say awesome and absolutely a lot so I apologise haha but we are always trying to improve. Have an amazing day and see you on todays episode!
Hey Murts, I got a s4 2018 and was wondering if you had any flaring with revs basically increasing when driving in auto and going from 3rd to 4th? If not had anyone else got this issue and if so has anyone fixed it? I know one guy on RUclips had his trans replaced by Nissan as the revs we're flaring by 500rpm.
Hey mate! Honestly haven’t done the figures! We got the car for around 67k brand new. All up with all parts labour and fit out we will have to be around that 130k plus mark! They are a bit more expensive now to buy brand new though, thanks for watching!
Awesome 👌 now I understand the number plate 👍 love the recovery points 👉 👈 agree the interior needs an upgrade , nice electronic dash cluster I love petrol ⛽️ engines and if you want a vehicle for fuel consumption then Y62 is not the perfect car , go buy a Triton ( lol ) Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 👏 😀
@@Travellingcampers quick question the Nissan dealer here is trying to push paint protection onto us, I’m a mechanic and very sceptical of it. Did you opt for any? What’s your thoughts seeing as you go bush and do some pretty extreme tracks
@@rhysmorley6245 paint protection for sure but not from the dealer. Go to a good local retailer and get something there. Personally we have ceramic coating on the paint and then run the bush barriers mate!
The single biggest thing with ours is I’ve never paid more for unleaded, further more it’s done 120ks on E95, currently the diesel vs E95 price is 45 cents a litre difference cheaper has been for a while
Same here. 91octane to 98octane has always been cheaper than diesel. Even if you use 1 - 2lt per 100 more than a 200series, you are still way in front.
Yeah definitely seems to be a trend with dealers! Some don’t mind if it’s just their oil changed, I always want someone keeping a good eye out and doing things properly. Thanks for watching!
The Diesels have a little more torque ???? Bro, the Ford F-250 Powerstroke (2023/4) has 500 HP and 1490 Nm, the V8 petrol 6..2 hat 400 HP, but only 570 Nm.....a factor of almost 3. In addition, we drove in the US a trip with 3 Powerstrokes with trailer, and 2 V8 Petrols (Ram, F-250, GMC)....fuel consumption: Diesel average (highway, mountains, off-roads, trails, normal roads) 16.3 l/100 km, Petrols , all 25-31 l/f100 km.....and the price diff. is in 2024 USA is 3.45 USD/gallon petrol, vx. 3.79 USD/gallon.....so take a trip 5,000 km, compare costs overall, and you wil be considerably more better off with a diesel than with a petrol ! By the way: I had rented 1 week a Y62 in 2023 in Costa Rica....was glad to return the vehicle after 1 week, to exchange it with the troopy V8 diesel !
the reason for the hot air is a warning from the car to tell you that the bastard is hot and u need to stop driving, i have had 2 nissan a 2018 y62 ti and a 2023 y62 ti, never overheated or pushed the red, the fans just pull hard, probs a cloged radiator is my best guess???
Airbags have been around for ages mate and they are strong as hell. Worse case plug it up like a Tyre. Absolute worst of all worst cases I can drive on the bump stops to get somewhere to fix it.
Hahah each to their own mate! If you can't afford to run a big v8, then it definitely isn't the right car for you and thats totally fine! Thanks for watching mate!
A lot of amazing things on this car how could I not!? You still got 20 minutes left to watch, hopefully you got some positive takeaways and info. Happy weekend!
One of the best most practical overviews I've ever seen. You've tested this car to its limits & tested all the mods. Thanks for doing this.
Recently upgraded to our 22 Y62 from a 200 series.. best move ever, haven’t looked back. Bough new and just finished a 3k trip away towing our van.
Hell yeah amazing mate, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching mate!

Easy mate welcome to the channel! I carry a bottle jack mate, because the car is lifted it makes it much easier. Thanks for watching mate!
Thanks heaps mate. Keep up the great work. 👍
Found your vid getting more familiar with the dcs brand. Thank you for sharing your experience and opinion.

Absolutely happy with my Nissan , just bought it second hand with 91k on the clock and getting 14l per 1000k around town .
So awesome to hear mate! Those figures seem spot on, thanks for watching mate!

Hello from California, brother could you tell me what brand antenna you have installed on your front bumper. Love your rig, great job

Mate, being a motorbike expert. Which engine is a better daily driver a 4 stroke or 2 stroke?
4 stroke 🕺🏻
@@Travellingcampers a 4 stroke 155cc, 1 cylinder, 4valve SOHC, 19.3 HP@10, 000 rpm, 14.7 NM @8500 rpm. Is it okay for a small town, mate?
@@Travellingcampers what about a 155 cc, single cylinder, 4-stroke, 4-valve, SOHC. 19.3 ps@ 10000 rpm, 14.7nm@8500 rpm, chain drive, 6-speed manual?
Hey guys seen your in Townsville today. Seen the car and van parked up at Fairfield waters shopping complex. How long are you guys around for?
Oh no way haha! Just stopped to grabbed some goods and heading south mate so we are already gone sorry! Thanks for watching mate!
@@Travellingcampers oh no, too easy. We just ordered our Y62 on Friday. Upgrading from the nav.
@@rhysmorley6245 oh hell yeah, massive upgrade you guys will be stoked, congrats!
@@Travellingcampers quick question the Nissan dealer here is trying to push paint protection onto us, I’m a mechanic and very sceptical of it. Did you opt for any? What’s your thoughts seeing as you go bush and do some pretty extreme tracks
@@rhysmorley6245 paint protection for sure but not from the dealer. Go to a good local retailer and get something there. Personally we have ceramic coating on the paint and then run the bush barriers mate!
love the episode, but the background music is very annoying.
Sorry about that, you can rarely hear it! Glad you loved the episode and hope you got plenty of information from it! Thanks for watching!
My dream car 😍 maybe one day
Yeww, make it happen! Thanks for watching guys!
The single biggest thing with ours is I’ve never paid more for unleaded, further more it’s done 120ks on E95, currently the diesel vs E95 price is 45 cents a litre difference cheaper has been for a while
Crazy hey! Thanks for watching mate!
Same here. 91octane to 98octane has always been cheaper than diesel. Even if you use 1 - 2lt per 100 more than a 200series, you are still way in front.
Where can I get that front bumper!?
Dash off-road mate
@@Travellingcampers thank you
Some Nissan dealers really don’t care about your car :
I thought I am the only one to suspect so.
Yeah definitely seems to be a trend with dealers! Some don’t mind if it’s just their oil changed, I always want someone keeping a good eye out and doing things properly. Thanks for watching!
The Diesels have a little more torque ????
Bro, the Ford F-250 Powerstroke (2023/4) has 500 HP and 1490 Nm, the V8 petrol 6..2 hat 400 HP, but only 570 Nm.....a factor of almost 3. In addition, we drove in the US a trip with 3 Powerstrokes with trailer, and 2 V8 Petrols (Ram, F-250, GMC)....fuel consumption: Diesel average (highway, mountains, off-roads, trails, normal roads) 16.3 l/100 km, Petrols , all 25-31 l/f100 km.....and the price diff. is in 2024 USA is 3.45 USD/gallon petrol, vx. 3.79 USD/gallon.....so take a trip 5,000 km, compare costs overall, and you wil be considerably more better off with a diesel than with a petrol !
By the way: I had rented 1 week a Y62 in 2023 in Costa Rica....was glad to return the vehicle after 1 week, to exchange it with the troopy V8 diesel !
Cool 🙃
the reason for the hot air is a warning from the car to tell you that the bastard is hot and u need to stop driving, i have had 2 nissan a 2018 y62 ti and a 2023 y62 ti, never overheated or pushed the red, the fans just pull hard, probs a cloged radiator is my best guess???
No, it was a viscous hub as I mentioned. Common problem with them.
Are the van tyres the same as the Y62's 325/65R18s?
They aren’t mate they are a bit smaller. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for that josh
No dramas mate hope you got plenty from it! Thanks for watching 🍻
Does the 35s for under the car at all ?
Yes it will
@@Travellingcampers even with a tow bar? Did you have to deflate it?
@@Chris-sf2cp we have a rear wheel carrier so I have never done it. But know plenty that have with a tow bar
they are great untill you get a leak
they absolutley hate anything under 98. they drive fine but it absolutely destroys the cats
What happens if one of those bags get peirced ???
Airbags have been around for ages mate and they are strong as hell. Worse case plug it up like a Tyre. Absolute worst of all worst cases I can drive on the bump stops to get somewhere to fix it.
Definitely a difference with 91 and 98.
People that say there is no difference are just clueless
I feel you! Thanks for watching mate!
I'd go broke running that on 98
Hahah each to their own mate! If you can't afford to run a big v8, then it definitely isn't the right car for you and thats totally fine! Thanks for watching mate!
Works great on 91 as well
You get great mileage.
Doesn't chew much more than 3.6 L V6 Holden that I had. LOL .
AWESOME !!!
You could also use: breathtaking, amazing, stunning, astounding, astonishing, awe-inspiring, stupendous, staggering, extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable; magnificent, wonderful, spectacular, remarkable, phenomenal, prodigious, miraculous, sublime; formidable, imposing, impressive. 🤣 Thanks for the info.
A lot of amazing things on this car how could I not!? You still got 20 minutes left to watch, hopefully you got some positive takeaways and info. Happy weekend!
@@Travellingcampers Cheers Mate. Just having some fun. I've enjoyed all your vids. Have an Awesome day!
I just wish i could convince the misses to let me buy the lexus v8 petrol, just cant bring myself to get one of these. cant stand pootrolls.
Sounds like you need to get your balls out of the Mrs handbag first mate 💅🏻
