Comments from the seller
1997 Nissan GQ Patrol RX – Manual – Fresh TB42 – VIC
Fresh TB42 engine, long-term owned (10 years) and presents clean for its age.
1997 GQ Patrol RX manual — ideal touring setup or reliable daily.
The engine was professionally replaced in November 2025 (approximately 4 months ago – invoice included in photos) with a same-year TB42 (minimal km difference). The original block was replaced due to rust, not mechanical failure. Runs strong and pulls well.
Selling as we’re moving to an automatic vehicle that better suits my fiancée and future family needs.
