All owner reviews about Nissan Patrol Y61 restyling. Should you buy a used Nissan Patrol Y61 series? Nissan patrol y61 restyling reviews

Nissan patrol the Y61 series has been produced since 1997 for thirteen years. The most powerful frame, dependent suspensions with axle beams, a two-stage transfer case with manual control... The classic design, worked out even on the predecessor of the Y60 series: there was almost no talk of childhood diseases. What about seniors?

They say that in the silence you can hear the rust of old cars wears away the metal. This is about the Patrol: it is not for nothing that the proprietary Nissan guarantee against perforating corrosion was cut in half for it - to six years. On cars of the first years of production, corrosion is easiest to detect under the linings on the fenders, sills, pockets of the rear wheel arches, as well as on the bottom of the body. It is better to cover the license plate on the frame with anticorrosive material: it rusts. And if the hood literally starts to open with a creak, do not be too lazy to remove the body panel in front of the windshield and lubricate the hinges - having soured tightly, they will eventually fall apart.

"Blooming" elements of chrome trim often changed during the warranty period. The dampness also gets the electrician - the telescopic antenna with an electric drive ($ 300) and the motors of the headlight brush cleaners ($ 180) on cars older than 2002 rot, the connectors of the openly laid under the bottom of the wiring rot ...

On Russian roads Patrols with gasoline engine are rare (less than 8% of machines), but not at all due to reliability problems. Cars with "six" TB45 (4.5 l, 200 hp) were not officially sold in our country (almost all of them are from the Middle East), and the engine itself is rather weak for an SUV weighing under 2.5 tons. Since 2004, cars with a TB48 engine (volume of 4.8 liters, 245 hp) could be bought new from dealers, and they had enough power, but few people were satisfied with the gas consumption of more than 30 liters per 100 km.

Among the "Europeans" there are simple versions with a cloth interior, without climate control, with unpainted wheel arch linings and on steel wheels, as well as short three-doors with a base of 2400 mm versus 2970 mm for the five-door version

Therefore, in Russia most of all cars (up to 70%) - with a three-liter turbodiesel "four" ZD30DDTI model 1999. In the gas distribution mechanism she has a strong and durable chain, fuel pump($ 5000) and injectors ($ 200 each) usually withstand 200 thousand kilometers, and the state of the turbocharger ($ 2000) should be looked at closely only after 150 thousand kilometers. But fuel equipment often has problems with control electronics, and not every workshop will undertake the repair of a worn-out rotary injection pump. In cars older than 2006, the mass air flow sensor is weak (if it fails, the car loses power), and after 60-80 thousand kilometers you have to change the ancillary drive belt tensioner with a damper ($ 250). From temperature changes in severe frosts, the mating plane of the exhaust manifold is often warped, which, however, can usually be restored.

Much worse is that after 150 thousand kilometers, cracks may appear in the alloy cylinder head! A new head($ 2200) will also have to be legalized in the traffic police: for some reason, the engine number is stamped on it. For many engines of the first years of production, due to miscalculations in the design of the lubrication and piston cooling system (special nozzles supply oil to the piston bottoms), even with a slight decrease in oil pressure or malfunctions in the operation of the fuel equipment, the pistons burned out. So the engine replaced under warranty in cars older than 2001 is a big fat plus when buying. Just keep in mind that even with the modified engines, the risk of piston burnout still remains - the problem was almost completely overcome only after another modernization in 2005.

The legendary turbo diesel TD42T with a volume of 4.2 liters - it's a pity, it's easier to meet it in pictures than in real life

The Patrol's most common (and most problematic) engine is the ZD30DDTI three-liter turbo diesel.

In the early years Nissan release Patrol Y61 was equipped with a six-cylinder long-liver RD28T with a volume of 2.8 liters, which first appeared as early as 30 years ago on machines of the 160th series and perhaps supplemented by an electronically controlled injection pump. A 128-horsepower motor working to the limit is prone to overheating, and its long aluminum block head ($ 1,300) is prone to deformation and cracking. Otherwise, apart from the little things like an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve clogged with carbon deposits, a malfunctioning electronic fuel pressure regulator and crankshaft oil seals and gaskets of the oil pump and oil cooler running after 150 thousand kilometers, everything is not bad. The fuel pump ($ 5000) usually lasts no less than 250-300 thousand kilometers, and then it can be sorted out without any problems ($ 1000-1400). The turbocharger unit ($ 1200) can withstand at least 200 thousand kilometers, and neat owners who change air filters and high-quality oil - and all 350-400 thousand kilometers. Do not forget only that there is a belt in the timing drive, which is better to change every 60-80 thousand kilometers for fidelity: the consequences of its breakage are very deplorable.

On the other hand, the 4.2-liter TD42 inline-six has neither a belt, nor even a chain: instead of them, there is a gear drive, the existence of which for many years can never be guessed at. Oh, this motor, produced since the 80s, is legendary! They say that a car with him is easier to sell than torture. The engine effortlessly overcomes the bar of half a million kilometers, and on Patrols its supercharged version TD42T often survives to a ripe old age with a "native" turbocharger. Only motors of the 1HZ series can boast of such endurance. Toyota vehicles Land cruiser(AR No. 1, 2010). It is a pity that to find a Patrol with a "six" TD42 on secondary market- incredible luck. Officially, they were not sold here, and rare copies with a left-hand drive are former "Arabs" very weakly resistant to corrosion.

In the transmission - no frills: primitive "part-time" (forced front axle) without center differential v transfer case... The front end can only be connected at low speeds and on slippery surfaces - otherwise the extended chain in the transfer case will be consumed first ($ 450).

Patrol was delivered to us only in a five-door version and in rich trim levels. The leather of the seats is rough, but it is durable and resistant to abrasion

In addition, the front hubs are connected by semi-automatic couplings (each costs $ 650), and on heavy off-road conditions, the Auto mode is not enough for this - they will have to be brought to the Lock position manually using a balloon wrench. An entertaining exercise in the middle of a muddy road for the owner of an expensive SUV! But there is nothing to do - otherwise the crunch in the hubs, foreshadowing unforeseen expenses, will appear after 80-90 thousand kilometers. And so that Patrol does not become rear-wheel drive forever due to jammed clutches, during each maintenance they need to change the lubricant. By the way, you will have to lubricate and steering knuckles front axle, and the propeller shaft splines equipped with grease nipples. Then the cardan shafts themselves ($ 1,500) will last more than 200 thousand kilometers - and will not pull the bearings of the gearbox shanks along with them.

But the main transmissions are very difficult to finish off. But do not forget to use the rear axle lock at least from time to time - otherwise, the control solenoid valves of its pneumatic drive located under the hood will sour from inaction.

Before the off-road assault, the front hub clutches have to be turned on with a wheel wrench (in the photo they are locked), and to turn them off completely, you need to drive a couple of meters in reverse

The resource of manual transmissions is directly proportional to the volume of the engine, except that the clutch ($ 400-500) serves everyone the same - up to 150-170 thousand kilometers. At the "weakest" box, paired with the RD28T motor, the gears begin to fly out, and the synchronizers crackle after 200-250 thousand kilometers. It is necessary to sort it out after 300 thousand kilometers ($ 800-1200). The "mechanics" of cars with a three-liter diesel engine is even more durable, and what the repair of manual transmissions for Patrols with a 4.2TD engine is, the masters, it seems, do not know at all.

And the lifespan of automatic transmissions (they were combined with any of the diesel engines and, by default, with gasoline engines) directly depends on the operation: they usually do not require repair ($ 1500-2000) before 300 thousand kilometers, but a couple of "trophy-raid" trips easily can sentence them to immediate repair, and to the maximum - usually you have to change burnt clutches.

Antenna on the front wing that has not lost its mobility is very rare for Patrols older than three to five years.

The folding seats suspended on the sides allow you to take on board two more people, but they noticeably reduce the volume of the trunk, and over time they begin to creak with loose mountings

Suspension? That's right - there is nothing to break there. But there is one but - disconnectable rear stabilizer lateral stability... It seems that this device was invented by marketers, not engineers: move rear suspension The patrol is already huge, and even if there is a rear differential lock ... In a word, there is no sense from the device, and the mouth is full of hassle. Either the hinge on the left telescopic arm ($ 1000) breaks, or the electric drive ($ 850) goes on strike. After off-road exercises, the delicate mechanism must be cleaned of dirt and dampness. It's no wonder that after the first breakdown, many owners prefer to install a regular strut ($ 45), or even completely remove the stabilizer, putting up with a barely noticeable increase in roll in corners, they say, not a racing car.

Otherwise, no surprises. Simple struts and stabilizer bushings are enough for 40-70 thousand kilometers, but along with them, lovers of off-road sorties have to change the stabilizer itself ($ 250) - its rod is rubbed under the bushings. Off-roading cuts the life of shock absorbers in half ($ 150 front and $ 100 rear) - they usually go 130-160 thousand kilometers. Pivot bearings ($ 60 each) suffer, and frequent replacement of suspension springs ($ 220-260) due to broken bumpers are unknown to those who do not drive off the asphalt.

A common thing for Japanese cars - chrome finishes are not strong enough to withstand our road reagents

Silent blocks ($ 20-30 each) usually wear out to 100-120 thousand kilometers, and they do it very quietly and imperceptibly: in order not to find broken places where they are pressed into the levers (only Panhard rods are supplied, $ 180-200), do not be lazy check the condition of the rubber bands from time to time. With the same mileage, steering tips ($ 90 each) and rods ($ 200-250) can surrender, but a leak from a worm-type steering gear ($ 350 per bulkhead) occurs only after 250-300 thousand kilometers.

In a word, in terms of indestructibility and reliability, the Nissan Patrol may well compete with a model named Toyota Land Cruiser. But you will not find the "correct" diesel engine TD42 with fire in our day. And the rest of the engines are either problematic or gluttonous ... But Patrol at the age of four to five years is estimated at 1 million 100 thousand to 1 million 600 thousand rubles, and it is not difficult to find a completely "live" twelve-year-old car for half a million at all. For comparison: Land Cruiser 100 at the same venerable age costs 200 thousand rubles more, and the difference in the price of fresher copies even reaches 700 thousand rubles.

The appearance of rust in the place under VIN number on the frame side member, dirt flying from under the right front wheel contributes to

Unsurprisingly, the taillight wiring connector suffers from corrosion

To change the sliding rear stabilizer post (pictured) to the usual one, you will have to modify the platform for its attachment to the frame

Drum parking brake located on the transfer case - driving with a tightened "handbrake", in addition to wear of the pads, leads to overheating and destruction of the "transfer case" oil seal

To lubricate the hood hinges, you will have to remove the panel under the windshield

Lever mechanical box gears "go bald" after 100 thousand kilometers, but the "mechanics" itself is very durable

From hard off-road driving, the steering damper bends or tears off the "ear" from the Panhard rod

There is a lot of empty space under the huge, "eating" part of the wheel arch lining - in the Arab versions, the neck of the additional fuel tank with a capacity of 40 l

Experts Autoreview about the car Nissan Patrol (AR # 17, 2000)

Nissan captivates with its spaciousness: to reach the opposite door, you have to be a basketball player! The gears here have to be shifted like on a truck, since the handle is located a little further from the driver and a little higher than we would like. And the control lever "razdatka", on the contrary, is closer to the driver.

The three-liter Nissan turbodiesel is not bad. But why is there such a "short" transmission? The motor instantly spins up to a maximum of 4000 rpm, which corresponds to 32 km / h in first gear and 56 km / h in second. As a result, during city driving, you have to constantly wield the gearbox lever, which, moreover, is distinguished by large transverse displacements. But the fifth gear is perfect for dynamic overtaking on the highway - Patrol actively responds to pressing the gas pedal in the range from 120 to 140 km / h. And on long straight lines, the speedometer needle approaches 170! But ... the Nissan speedometer deceives the driver with rare cynicism, overstating maximum speed by almost 20 km / h.

Not changing much technically, the restyling of the exterior and interior of the Patrol experienced twice - in 2003 and 2006. In the photo - the car in its original form, sample 1997

In the Nissan clutch drive, we found a vacuum booster similar to those used in brake systems... Thanks to him, the effort on the pedals was halved. But, alas, the information content suffered significantly.

The Patrol has a pretty stiff suspension. Therefore, despite the mild steering, the reactions to turning the steering wheel are clearer and faster, and the rolls are less than that of the Prado and Pajero. But not flat road the tough Patrol is constantly shaking, which makes the car less able to track its trajectory in a corner. The lack of reactive action on the steering wheel also spoils the picture.

And I completely upset the Patrol with its smooth running. It is as tough as the Discovery, reacts to large irregularities, but in addition decently shakes passengers on the "little things".

Owner opinion

Dormov Alexey, 26 years old, Moscow, employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia

I have been using Nissan Patrol for the sixth year already - and even visited the Moscow-Magadan-Moscow expedition. Then in a month he covered 21 thousand kilometers, a third of which fell on dirt roads. And of all the troubles - the front springs burst into three parts, because of which I was driving two thousand kilometers with the bridge lying on the bumpers, and every time the oil was changed after 7500 km, the front wheel bearings had to be tightened.

In the snowy winters near Moscow, convenient towing eyes are very useful - in the mornings more than once I had to go to friends who were stuck in their own homes, simultaneously saving half of the yard. And in cold weather it is good in Patrol: with two standard "stoves" their fans do not need to be turned on at high speeds. The suspension is amazing: I never brake in front of pits, and silent blocks go up to 100 thousand kilometers.

As the experience of mine and my friends has shown, services are willingly taken up to repair the Patrol, only many do it illiterately. For example, after fords and mud baths, it is imperative to check for the presence of water in the steering knuckles, wheel and pivot bearings, and axles. The steering knuckle oil seals often need to be changed, and during assembly, the preload in the bearings must be adjusted with gaskets. The operation takes about eight hours, and if everything was done to you much faster, then most likely it was cheated.

With the maintenance of the motors, it is even worse: on the ZD30, few of the "unofficial" know how to check the thermal clearance in the valves, although the operation is simple, requiring only adjusting washers. And for the TD42 motor, many parts have to wait up to a month - since it is the least problematic of all motors.

And Patrol is also good because a lot can be repaired by yourself and even in the field - even the grip changes without a pit. By the way, if you do not replace it for the first time, do not forget to carefully inspect the flywheel surface - it is covered with cracks (they can be sanded, but it is better to replace the flywheel), and in addition to the clutch kit, immediately change the sealing covers and springs release bearing and plugs. But if the crankshaft oil seal does not flow, it is better not to touch it.

By the way, from experience, it is better to put on Patrol original spare parts, especially the oil seals. Yes, they are a little more expensive, but you can forget about the next repair for a long time.

V model line Nissan's off-road Patrol appeared back in 1951. And for almost 60 years, the principle of its design has remained unchanged: a powerful spar frame, dependent wheel suspensions, a rigidly connected front axle and a reduction gear. The model has proved to be reliable and unpretentious - they say, "Patrol" is easier to sell than torture "to death". Therefore, a simple and modern Patrol from the third generation was widely used by UN peacekeepers and in expeditionary support around the world. And cars of the fourth and fifth generations were used as the main vehicle in the Irish army. Moreover, from the third generation (1980-1994) Nissan Patrol began to be produced in a five-door body, and its production, in addition to Japan, was established in Spain. On the fourth "Patrol", which started in 1987, instead of springs, springs appeared in the suspension, and the model became known as Patrol GR (Grand Raid).

In the fall of 1997, the fifth generation Patrol (Y61) debuted. Its design remained the same, but the main know-how was the "switchable" rear anti-roll bar, which reduced body roll in corners, and off-road increased the suspension travel. In 2002 and 2004, the Nissan Patrol underwent restyling. And in 2010, sales of the sixth generation model with the Y62 index started, which is still being produced.

Equipment

In our market, there are mainly dealerships Nissan Patrol, which were offered only in a five-door body. There are specimens from Europe, Africa and the United Arab Emirates, the main disadvantage of which is poor corrosion protection. Officially, we were supplied with Patrol in expensive Luxury and Elegance trim levels.

The initial version of the Luxury had ABS, electric windows and heated side mirrors, front and side airbags, alloy wheels(since 2004), climate control for the front and rear. The seats are trimmed with velor, and the panels are trimmed with wood-like inserts, but the gearbox and transmission control levers are made of genuine leather.

The Elegance version was complemented by servo-assisted front seats, a sunroof, fog lights, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel and six-disc CD changer. The interior was decorated with natural wood and the seats were in leather.

All-wheel drive transmission Patrol operates in three modes: rear-wheel drive (2H), used on hard surfaces, all-wheel drive with a rigid connection of the front axle (4H), used on off-road or slippery roads, all-wheel drive with reduced gear (4Lo). In addition to downgrading, you can forcibly block rear axle(option).

Engine

V motor range Patrol Y61 initially used only in-line "six": diesel volumes of 2.8 liters (129 HP) and 4.2 liters (125 and 145 HP), as well as petrol 4.5 liters (200 HP) .). Since 2000, the R6 2.8 turbodiesel has replaced the 3.0 liter 4-cylinder (158 hp), and since 2004 Gas engine grew to 4.8 liters (245 hp). We sold Patrol with turbodiesels R6 2.8 liters and R4 3.0 liters, and after restyling in 2004 a petrol "six" 4.8 liters was added.

The six-cylinder turbodiesel is prone to overheating, which is why its long aluminum block head (repair - from 35,000 rubles) is deformed and cracked. Over time, the crankshaft oil seals flow, the EGR valve is clogged. But the fuel pump high pressure withstands up to 300 thousand km. Repairing it will cost from 25,000 rubles. A new node costs from 130,000 rubles. A turbocharger (32,800 rubles) lives up to 400 thousand km from caring owners. But it is advisable to change the timing belt one and a half times more often than the prescribed regulation of 90 thousand km.

At the very same mass Nissan engine Patrol - 3-liter "four" ZD30DDTI - in the drive of the gas distribution mechanism, a strong and durable chain that does not require attention up to 200 thousand km. As a rule, the same number of fuel pumps (from 125,000 rubles) and injection nozzles (5,300 rubles each) serve, and the turbocharger (from 50,000 rubles) lasts even longer. About 80 thousand km were released to the drive belt tensioner (from 6500 rubles). Pistons burned out on many motors from the first batch. The reason for this was constructive miscalculations in their lubrication and cooling system (special nozzles supplied oil to the piston bottoms). On this occasion, there was even a revocable action, and the motors were changed under warranty. The problem was completely solved only after 2005. At the same time, the mass air flow sensors (from 4500 rubles), which before that were a headache for Patrol owners, became more durable.

Inline 4.2-liter "six" - legendary motor... He nurses up to 600 thousand km, and this is not the limit. Perhaps, and weak points he doesn't have it at all. Even in the timing drive there is a set of gears, the so-called guitar. A turbocharger (from 50,000 rubles), as a rule, dies along with the engine. Only here in the secondary market it is difficult to find a modification with such a unit - usually these are cars from Arab countries.

Gasoline R6s are also reliable, but gluttonous. And the power of a 4.5-liter is not always enough.

Transmission

Mechanical 5-speed gearboxes, depending on the engine paired with them, have a different service life. With in-line 6-cylinder turbodiesel overhaul MCP (from 20,000 rubles) will be required closer to 300 thousand km. More durable proved to be "mechanics", aggregated with a 3-liter turbodiesel. Its repair (23,000–35,000 rubles) may be needed for 400 thousand km. But the "manual" box, combined with a 4.2-liter diesel engine, as a rule, will be asked to retire along with the engine, and far over half a million km.

With all turbodiesels, the clutch unit (12,000-15,000 rubles) lasts the same long - guaranteed 150 thousand km, and often more. When replacing it for the second time, pay attention to the flywheel (from 11,000 rubles). If there are tears and cracks, it is advisable to renew it, otherwise after a couple of tens of thousands of kilometers you will still have to change it and pay twice for the same work.

If there are tears and cracks, it is advisable to renew it, otherwise after a couple of tens of thousands of kilometers you will still have to change it and pay twice for the same work.

A four-band "automatic" was offered as an option with any of the diesel engines, and it was installed as standard on the Patrol petrol modifications (since 2004 - a 5-speed automatic transmission). It is also durable and can withstand 300 thousand km before repair (from 40,000 rubles). But frequent off-road driving kills him earlier.

In order for automatic transmissions to survive safely to a ripe old age, which is about 300-320 thousand kilometers, it is recommended to change the oil in them (from 8,000 rubles) every 90 thousand kilometers. And after active participation in off-road raids, it is advisable to carry out a full audit of the automatic transmission.

And after active participation in off-road raids, it is advisable to carry out a full audit of the automatic transmission.

And if you drive constantly in 4x4 mode, the chain quickly stretches (from 15,000 rubles) in the transfer case. It is also necessary to follow the semi-automatic couplings that connect the front axle shafts. Firstly, it is necessary to change the lubricant in them at each MOT, and secondly, off-road couplings (20,000 rubles each) are “switched on” manually, otherwise they will collapse by 100,000 km. Moreover, in the transmission, the steering knuckles of the front axle and the splines of the propeller shafts are also lubricated. Otherwise, ahead of time - 200 thousand km - cardan shafts (40,000 rubles) and bearings of gearbox shanks will have to be renewed.

Chassis and body

V dependent suspension The Nissan Patrol has nothing special to break down. Even stabilizer struts and bushings (from 3000 rubles per circle) are enough for 50-60 thousand km. Shock absorbers (front - 4,200 rubles each, rear - 2,900 rubles) can withstand up to 120-150 thousand km. But frequent off-road rides reduce the service life of these parts by one and a half to two times. In addition, from sand and dirt, the rod itself (6500 rubles) of the stabilizer quickly wears out, and the springs also burst (5800 rubles each). After 100 thousand km, silent blocks of levers "die" (500 rubles each). Moreover, the Panhard rod (from 5,000 rubles) changes only in assembly - its elastic bands with hinges are not sold separately. The detachable rear stabilizer earned a lot of criticism, for which the left telescopic strut quickly breaks (about 25,000 rubles) or its servo mope (20,000 rubles). Therefore, as a rule, it is not changed, but completely removed. After all, there are no special advantages on the off-road and on the track over a conventional adjustable stabilizer.

In the steering, up to 120-130 thousand km, the rods wear out (5900 rubles each) and their tips (2300 rubles each). But the worm gear itself flows only closer to 300 thousand km. Its bulkhead will cost 10,000 rubles.

The body of the Patrol is not highly corrosion-resistant - on early cars, point rust already creeps out on the fifth door, sills, fenders and rear wheel arches. And even on the frame. The hood hinges sour - they need to be lubricated periodically, but to get to them, you have to remove the panel in front of the windshield. And chrome parts begin to "bloom" already on three-four-year-old copies.

After several years of Russian operation, the telescopic antenna turns sour (7,500 rubles). The motors of the headlight brush cleaners (4500 rubles), as well as the connectors and wiring connections, are also quickly surrendered - it is poorly protected from dirt and moisture.

Modifications

The three-door version of the Nissan Patrol has not been officially delivered to Russia. And those rare specimens that are presented on our market, as a rule, were brought from Europe. Meanwhile, compared to the five-door short car has better geometric cross-country ability due to a smaller wheelbase, for which avid “jeepers” appreciate it. Therefore, if you are eager to purchase this particular option, it is advisable to order it in the Old World, where there are quite a lot of such modifications. And most importantly, most of them are in good condition.

The publication

Externally Nissan Patrol 1998 model year It stood out for its powerful square fangs on the front bumper and headlight wiper blades. Officially, the car was sold in Russia with a 2.8 liter diesel "six" (129 hp), with which both manual and automatic transmissions were combined.

Real SUV enthusiasts have great respect for the Nissan Patrol different generations, but in this review we are not talking about its last modification - but about the previous - the sixth generation Nissan Patrol, which received the Y61 index. The all-terrain vehicle was first shown to journalists in Barcelona in 1997, but the general public saw the car in Frankfurt in 1998. The Patrol's most direct competitor is, but in the STD and GX trim levels, which offer a more durable - dependent front suspension. In 2010, the seventh generation Nissan Patrol appeared, in contrast to the Y61, new car no longer had a frame, and only one gasoline engine was offered as an engine, there are no longer those diesels, for which the Patrol was loved by fans all over the world.

Body and appearance:

On the roads of the CIS, Nissan Patrol is found in 98% of cases in a five-door body. Note that the five-door has impressive dimensions, the wheelbase of 2970mm surpassed the wheelbase of the business sedans of that time. There is a three-door - short-base modification with a base of 2400mm. A pickup truck with a single-row cab is simply not realistic to see on the roads of Russia, or Ukraine, but such a car was also produced. In 2006, the Nissan Patrol was restyled. The restyled SUV features more rectangular and massive fender liners, new bumpers and a radiator grill. Pay attention to the photo, above - before the restyled, and below - after the restyled car. By the hood lid, it was almost always possible to determine whether diesel or gasoline was under the hood? The fact is that all diesels, in addition to the extremely common 4.2 r6, have an air intake on the hood cover, gasoline versions do not have an air intake, and the above-mentioned 4.2 liter diesel engine does not have one either. On the bodies of the new Patrol, the manufacturer gave a guarantee against perforating corrosion for 6 years, which is not very much. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the body. Depending on the modification, Patrol puts on tires with dimensions of 265/70 R16 or 275/65 R17.

Salon and equipment:

In the vast majority of cases, cars driving on CIS roads have a very good package. To meet with us a basic Patrol with power steering, just one airbag and with a minimum set of amenities in the form of a central lock is practically impossible. Patrol on our roads is at least equipped with heated front seats, an immobilizer, a heated seating area for wipers and a 6-disc CD changer. Leather interior is not at all uncommon, but automatic transmission gears are usually equipped with a Nissan Patrol with a gasoline engine. Volume luggage compartment in normal condition - 668 liters, but in the trunk there are two additional chairs, if they are expanded, the trunk can still hold 183 liters of luggage. If the second row sofa is folded, the trunk volume will increase to 2281 liters. The spare wheel is mounted on the boot lid, which also saves space in the passenger compartment.

Technical part and characteristics of Patrol Y61

The frame structure carries a galvanized body, but as mentioned above, the warranty for the body is too small, there are cases when rust covered even the frame itself. To basic Nissan complete set Patrol entered ABS system and Break Assist. Some drawback in comparison with the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 is the lack of a center differential - this suggests that the car is equipped with a classic system all-wheel drive Part-time 4WD. That is, in normal mode, the all-terrain vehicle moves on rear wheel drive, but when necessary, you can connect the front axle. Patrol is equipped with a rear differential lock and a low range of gears.

From the very beginning of production, the Nissan Patrol Y61 was equipped with a 2.8-liter inline-six diesel engine equipped with a turbocharger. Capacity in 130 Horse power and a torque of 252N.M is enough only for a leisurely ride. This unit is the only one in the Patrol engine lineup, which is equipped with a belt drive of the gas distribution mechanism. Replacement of a belt on a Nissan should be done every 80,000. After 200,000 a turbine may need to be replaced, the price of a new spare part is $ 1,000. Also, on the 2.8 engine, there were cases of breakdowns of the high pressure fuel pump. The big problem with the 2.8 diesel is that the cylinder head can crack and even burn out. The price of a new spare part is $ 1,200 - $ 1,400. The problem is that the Japanese entered the engine number on the cylinder head. Turbo diesel index 2.8 - RD28ET. In 2000, a 3.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel appeared. Diesel engine produces 158 horsepower and 354 N.M. of torque. A breakdown of the air flow meter was noticed on this diesel engine, which is accompanied by a loss of thrust. The advantage of the 3.0 diesel unit is that the high-pressure fuel pump on this engine is more reliable than 2.8l. Engine Index 3.0 - ZD30DDTI. This unit already has a timing chain drive. The most desirable among fans of the model is a diesel with a volume of 4.2 liters. This motor is equipped with a problem-free timing gear drive. The engine was installed on Arab cars, in our area a diesel 4.2 is a rarity, but it is with this engine that Nissan Patrol gets maximum reliability. Note that the 4.2 diesel is noisier in operation - this is due to the fact that due to the too hot climate in the Arab countries, the noise is not glued under the hood. This unit is provided with two fuel and oil filters, which also increases reliability. At first, the petrol Nissan Patrol had an engine volume of 4.5 liters and two valves per cylinder, with a capacity of 200 hp. In 2003, a six-cylinder 4.8 with four valves per cylinder appeared. Gasoline engine power 4.8 - 245hp The most powerful all-terrain vehicle Nissan is capable of gaining speed of 190 kilometers per hour on the highway, and it takes only 11 seconds for a heavy car to accelerate to one hundred kilometers per hour.

As gearboxes for Nissan Patrol, a five-speed mechanics and an automatic transmission are provided (at first a four-speed was installed, but later a five-speed appeared).

The attachment belt in all engines changes with runs of 60 - 80 thousand.

Service Nissan Patrol Y61 is to inject every 15,000 km of propeller shaft crosspieces. The hubs should be lubricated every 40,000 - 60,000. The struts and bushings of Nissan stabilizers go 60,000 km. Steering tips live 100,000 km, shock absorbers run no less. The car is equipped with a worm-type steering system.

The warranty period for this car has passed, which can be added to the above. Children's mileage - 30,500 mileage is due to the fact that the car itself is problematic (my copy), and not the only one in use.

Now, in order and honestly about everything.

Disadvantages that cannot be eliminated in the process — vibration on the steering wheel when driving on the highway at a speed of 95-105 km. The steering wheel just jerks and recoil on the body. Five complaints to the dealer did not correct the situation. The answer of the service is the rubber curve. We put a winter set of wheels with disks - everything is the same. We balance in three different places. No improvements. By the way, there are no comments.

Strengths:

• Comfort
• Passability
• Brutality in everything

Weak sides:

• Reliability just no
• Weak paintwork

Review of Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo (Nissan Patrol) 2007

Good day, dear guests and forum participants!

Having written my first review about the car that I now operate, it would be completely ugly to forget about the Nissan Patrol, which served me faithfully until March of this year. You probably need to start with how the car was selected.

I will write in advance that before the purchase of the Patrol I had only VAZ cars at my disposal (I drove VAZ-2101, 2105 and 2115), which, however, did not leave any sunny memories. The need for an off-road vehicle arose in connection with business matters: the need to travel over rough terrain, mainly in the protected areas of the neighboring republic of Kalmykia (who knows what Ekiburul, Zlaturgan and other outlandish places are, he will understand what I mean). I was not going to participate in rally raids and looked after the car as a reliable, workhorse for the road and off-road. At the same time, the existing level of savings made it possible to count on the purchase of a foreign-made car. In addition, I wanted to know what a diesel engine is. So, based on the available savings, one could consider Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi pajero, Mitsubishi Pajero sport and (at a stretch) Volvo XC90 (I understand that the latter car is not at all a utilitarian SUV, but it was very attractive in terms of appearance and safety).

Strengths:

• Good cross-country ability
• Roomy salon
• High waist
• Reliability and simplicity in operation

Weak sides:

• Weak engine
• Lack of permanent all-wheel drive
• Outdated gearbox and audio system
• Weak low beam
• Inconvenient folding of the second and third row seats

Good day to everyone reading the review.

This car was chosen for a very long time and painstakingly. Although there is nothing special to choose from in this model: 3 liters of diesel or 4.6 gasoline. As a result, after analyzing the information obtained from various sources, it was found that diesel seems to be more economical (the city is declared - 14.5 per 100, gasoline - 25 per 100), the torque is almost the same, the difference in l / s is 85 plus gasoline. Gasoline is also equipped with a 5-speed tiptronic, in contrast to a 4-speed automatic. Everything else is the same in terms of configuration and dimensions. It was not possible to pass a comparative test drive due to the lack of a gasoline version as such. And yet, the choice was made in favor of the gasoline option. This was based on: a large volume does not frighten, there is an American 5.2 liters, the quality of diesel fuel is horror, and also an ominous winter, when there is a frost in the morning at 30. It was also noticed that previous patrols with a diesel engine are very frequent guests at the service station. And in general, for this money, I also didn't want to study chemistry in order to correctly use gels and additives. As a result, the petrol version. Yes, we can say that he has lost his mind. It's not the same for everybody.

Further about the sensations. Interior: black leather, wood and aluminum inserts. A bit angular, but in my opinion, if you have a crush on the Patrol, then you like the design. The landing is very comfortable, high, there are as many as 9 adjustments from the driver. I don't remember the passenger, like 6. Finding a comfortable position is not a problem, if long journeys, for which I undertook, you do not get tired. The 4 row of seats allows 2 men to sit comfortably enough, but it is not very convenient to climb. When fully loaded, the trunk is very small, which is not encouraging. Since we drove full only at the premiere of friends, it was decided to remove the 3rd row altogether. If the entire volume is needed, then the 2nd row does not fold into a flat floor, a step is obtained, which is not very convenient. Front and side visibility is good. Back nothing but the wheel and the joint of the swing doors is visible. The mirrors are good, but still a bit small. The right mirror does not fall when moving back, which was disappointing, because this is very lacking due to the high ground clearance.

Strengths:

• Real frame SUV
• Practical
• Brutal

Weak sides:

• Transport tax
• Turning radius

Review of Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo (Nissan Patrol) 2007

Well, I switched from Ford Explorer to Nissan Patrol and I can say that I didn’t regret it. The dynamics, of course, is not the same, but this is the only, if I may say so, minus, but - a spacious interior, a huge trunk (And after taking out the third row of seats, it's just a fairy tale. Why is it put by default? Is it really impossible to make an option ?! ).
I drive around the city calmly, after I got used to the dimensions and the fact that the right side of OKA-type cars is not visible when they are driving in the area of ​​the front wheel.
It's great on the highway, until a certain moment, until the speed is up to 120 km / h, and then hold me seven, it's just that, like a locomotive derailed, it's a very dangerous occupation in general, and it's not his business to cut it at such a speed, here is another purpose , namely off-road.

This is where he shows himself ... no, at first he shows that the tires need to be changed at least for A / T, and then he already shows that he is capable of a lot, even in the standard version. Although if you go to serious pampas, then the final oh, but those brothers who go there and so know what and where to screw;)

The main thing is that the suspension design allows you not to slow down on an uneven and even very uneven road and without a road, the main thing is to have time to catch the car, because rearranges the rear at times.

Review of Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo (Nissan Patrol) 2007

in February 2007, after a long choice between Nissan Murano, Pathfinder and Patrol cars, Toyota Prado, Mitsubishi Pogero 4, Subaru Tribeca and Ford Explorer, a respectable car Nissan Patrol was chosen - a perpetual car with an indestructible diesel suspension D 3.0 ... But it turned out that I became the proud owner of Patrol for only 10 days. after registering with the traffic police and successfully passing the technical inspection, a new car with numbers and those coupons for 3 years, parked near work with a worker idle the engine died safely, the most reliable engine jammed.

(Some kind of oil pipe in the engine broke, which subsequently led to the failure of the engine). And long telephone conversations began with the salon and other representatives of the Nissan company. The Nissan company, showing concern, offered to send a tow truck for a broken Nissan car, but probably having calculated the evacuation route (about 3,000 km to the nearest Nissan dealer), they decided to abandon this idea and offered to wait half a year before summer navigation. Had to this problem decide for yourself (because drowning people always help themselves, even if there are rescuers), hire a cargo car, load it into the back and transport the broken car back to the salon, having phoned in advance and with a proposal to replace it with another car, even I agreed with the surcharge.

But upon arrival at the salon, it turned out to be not so simple and the exchange was not done. Having sent a written claim to terminate the purchase and sale agreement, I did not receive an answer, only assurances that this problem was being solved, and after a month there was no result. And then a miracle happens, an offer comes from the salon that they agree to return money for the car and installed additional equipment, but minus the cost of engine repair, explaining that a broken oil pipe is a warranty repair, and engine repair at your expense, since the happy owner of a car Nissan Patrol should not take his eyes off the dashboard for a single minute, because it is possible that the control lamps will light up in connection with some kind of malfunction, these are the warranty obligations of the Nissan Company as interpreted by the salon service managers.

Review of Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Di Turbo (Nissan Patrol) 2007

The choice of the car was made long ago and deliberately, the lifestyle presupposes the presence of an SUV. All jeeps before him are a preparatory introductory stage and a compromise between the desires and capabilities of the wallet. So, 2005, 3-liter turbodiesel 160 forces, automatic, leather .. I got it at the age of 52,000 km at the end of May 2007, according to a trade-in from the salon and with a year of warranty. To date I have traveled 12,000 km and I can tell you the following.

Apparently it just coincided so that the previous owner and I have approximately the same views on what is necessary and sufficient for what the car should have, so from the additional on the car there was - tastefully and correctly done toning, hitch, turbo timer, rear parking sensors, alarm in addition to standard immobilizer, dear, controlled from the same remote control as the central locking system. No fake kangarins, bulbs, TVs, subwoofers, etc.

The car is, of course, very specific. You have to want to buy it, and only it and nothing else, because, in my opinion, convincing someone to take this car is simply not possible, there is no compromise. If you can choose between Outlander and IkhTrailoim and SiArVi, or Lancer-Corolla-Almera, then here - either Patrol or nothing ... ... if funds allow, of course. Probably the same can be said about any iconic car, but I never had any doubts about this car. One minus - now there is nothing more to want.

Strengths:

Weak sides: Little things that do not affect speed and safety.
