Hey guys, im in the market for a new car at the moment and am looking at either a 60/62 series toyota landcruiser or a GQ nissan patrol. They are both around the same price range and would like to know which would be better value. I will be getting a petrol/gas one, turbo diesel is too expensive now with the price of diesel. So what would i be better off getting? thanks

A GQ would be my choice. Slightly biased though Do 60 series still have leaf springs? What engine do they run? Here is mine: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

not exactly sure on the engine, all i know is that they are a straight six engine (the 80 series have v6 and blow heads on gas like no tomorow). Im pretty sure they have leaf springs. Looking at a 60 series on ebay as we speak. Starting bid of $4000 on it. It has 2 inch lift kit, 31" tyres, winch, dual batery etc. Looks pretty neat.

depends on what you want it for

go gq patrol cant go wrong still best 4x4 made and 60series are leaf sprung were gq arnt..

60 series diesel straight six was a 2h motor which is the best diesel motor in the 60 series we had a hj60 with 900 thousand ks on it with no rebuilt stil going strong

it would be used for mainly work purposes but 4wding every now and then. I was thinking maybe getting a patrol with a rb30 (non turbo) in it? how do these go in the patrol?
