Mine is 2006 Patrol LWB and 4.8 VTC. The redline in tachometer starts at 5000 rpm and cut off is at 5500rpm.

I heard that new vehicles (not Patrol) will not go above 2000 or 3000 rpm when it is in Parked Gear Condition.

I will try to find out with Nissan.

Hi Guys,

I brought a 2006 Nissan Patrol Y61 recently. During my visit to a workshop to install pintle hook and recovery points the workshop person said that my vehicle has a cut off at 5500 rpm. As per him my Vehicle ECU is tuned and because of that some engine vibration is coming inside the vehicle at idle condition (when AC is working). 

I checked with another workshop person regarding this issue and what he is saying from 2005 production Y61 has rpm cut off at 5500 rpm in stock condition.

So now I am confused which one is correct. Could anyone please help regarding this issue.

Hello @Islam Soliman

I have done absolute newbie drive on Sep 24 with @Ale Vallecchi.

Based on his valuable suggestions I installed Pintle hook and front recovery points on my Nissan Patrol.

Dear @Adhir Saxena, you are waitlisted.

Dear @Joseph Raju, can you confirm you have replaced your ballpoint hitch with an appropriate tow point, as discussed with @Ale Vallecchi in the occasion of your Absolute Newbie Drive? 

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher sorry for the late reply

As per schedule mine vehicle work should be finished today but unfortunately the ordered pintle hook still not arrived 

The vehicle work May complete only on Saturday or Sunday

So I can’t attend the newbie drive on Saturday morning

Excellent, also make sure it should come with OEM bolts too or order them separately as pintle hook is as strong as its correct installation.

I have one more enquiry

any suggestion for two way radio.

I am planning to buy one

Hi @Gaurav 

Thank you for the valuable information.

I will go for Nissan original pintle hook. I tried to get it today from Nissan spare parts. But unfortunately it closed

@Gaurav Hi I checked the tow hook of mine vehicle. That comes in Single piece.

So which Hinge is better to use Pintle hook or Shackle type

Thank you for your advice once again

@Joseph Raju for your and other car safety, better you get the pintle hook installed and with 4 OEM bolts and not 3 like this one.

THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE to use unless you have any other tow point or eyelets at the back of your patrol.

 

Thank you very much for the advise.

I will try to fix it Today night itself. If not possible I will join another ride after install Hinge receiver shackle and bolts.

Dear @Joseph Raju you are welcome to join. Just to be sure, please double check if you have the necessary clearance from the ground. If you wish to send photos of the front and back of the car, I can confirm. Thanks a lot. 

Please find the photos of the vehicle as requested

I dont have a Two way Radio. I would like to know which model and type need to purchase.

Hi Ale,

I also would like to join this trip.

I dont have any prior Off-road experiance.

And regarding the hooks and ground clearance I think my vehicle have it.

I will arrange the tools also for the trip
