Bought the latest 2003 Nissan Patrol Cab/Chassis all coils 4.2L Turbo with Intercooler.
great vehicle and great for touring and pulling a van. Recently did a month with a 16'6"
van . had to
check now and again to see if it was still there. Buying a new 19'6" van and reckon I would like a bit more power. How do I do it. No one has brought out a kit i.e. safari. Has anyone any experience or suggestions.

4.2 turbo and you say you want more power? hell how much do you want...it will be a 19.5 ft monster on your tail so why do you reckon you'll need more?
with all that weight i reckon you should stick with what you got and take things a bit easier
no offence meant Wow! am I cute

Thanks for that. There were times up
hill when she had her tongue out.
Don't forget it is only 114k of power. Torque is fine. The new caravan will be about 750kg heavier. I must admit that no one passed me. she sat on about 100 most of the way.
with all that she is a great touring truck.

1st thing to do is stick the DTS exhaust on with the new turbo dump pipe.
i just did this, and had a big difference, soon will dyno it with the exhaust mod but havent had time. i dynoed it at standard so i will see every mods difference.
The next that i wil do one day is to upgrade the turbo, about $800 at DTS if you remove it, call them, they reckon you get a 4o% hp increase with the exh, turbo and reset the pump calibration on the dyno.

Mick,
Did the clutch hold OK?
The stock clutches aren't real strong.
Mine started slipping at 56k (stock engine).
As it wasn't worn and had not been abused, Nissan replaced it under warranty with a Daikin HD unit (my request).
