Description:
Nissan Patrol
GU (Y61) (1997 On) / Ute (Coil/Coil) / NO BULLBAR or ALLOY BULLBAR
The GU (Y61) patrol follows on directly from the GQ, and offers a similar range of vehicles with upgraded and strengthened featured across the board. The GU also saw the introduction of a 3.0L turbo diesel engine to the vehicle. The Nissan Patrol coil cab ute is one of the few vehicles offered in the utility body shape with a capable coil spring suspension system. As a result, both the GQ and GU Utes have gained a strong following in the market place, making them a much sought after vehicle. Tough Dog offer suspension and accessories for every patrol as well as big lift applications up to 150mm above standard.
Note: Below are our standard lift options. We also offer extra large 3-6" (75-150mm) kits for this vehicle. To enquire please contact your local dealer.

41mm Foam Cell Shocks: 41mm Bore Foam Cell Shock Absorbers
Tough Dog’s award winning Foam Cell shock is our best selling shock for all round performance. Whether you head bush on the occasional weekend or for the majority of the year, Foam Cell shocks will handle your application.
The ‘Foam Cell’ that makes all the difference is a micro-cellular foam insert that helps to drastically reduce the effects of shock fade, allowing your shocks to perform better for longer, even on the harshest of corrugations. Cavitation and Aeration are the undoing of any shock absorber. As the shock is worked harder, the oil and gas in the outer chamber begins to mix and form bubbles, lowering the viscosity of the oil. When this aerated oil passes through the valve, there is reduced resistance, stopping the shock form performing correctly. The Foam Cell insert, with its trapped gas micro cells takes up the empty space in the shock normally taken up by air or nitrogen gas. This eliminates the possibility of bubbles forming, allowing the shock to get on with the job with an unparalleled resistance to shock fade.
