Today on The Skid Factory we take a look at this 1998 GU Nissan Patrol which is powered by a 6.6l Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 Engine.
Al originally owned the car and converted it from the standard TB45 Petrol straight six to the GM LMM Duramax V8 and Allison 6 speed transmission many years ago. The car is back in the workshop to sort out a transmission problem so Al takes some time to show you how he did the conversion, what he liked and didn't like about it, and then taking it for a drive.

Please note: We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy.

Hearing Al talk about the conversion sounds like "I could have done something easier and maybe more sensible. But where is the fun in that."

Best spin off out of the MCM characters and a better show in my opinion. More enjoyable than Moog yelling for 20 minutes.

Getting a Duramax running in our 64 C10 right now cause of the challenge but Cummins is still a better (cheaper) option. The weight savings is great but at least a 12v still sounds like Big Foot farting in the woods

its amazing seeing the progression in Al's work from something that looks like a very well done conversion like this to the work they're doing now. Especially considering how honest Al is about it all.

I think it speaks loads about al that he can look at something that has and does perform like it should and talk about how he could have done better. Shows he's still learning like everyone should and is humble. Great shows guys. I always look forward to new videos. Keep it up.

This conversion is the reason I bought my GU. Thanks for going into so much detail about all the little quirks & things that will catch you out with the swap. Have bought some parts from Heath @ PID as he seems to be the most reliable when it comes to delivering the goods!

Fantastic in depth explanation, could listen to Al speak all day awesome knowledge.

I have a FJ40, and I kept the axle on the stock side (which meant a custom axle) - many didn't understand why I was so insistent about maintaining the stock position, your explanation is going to be my go-to-video to help when my patience wears thin trying to explain it....

You know a mechanic is a great metaphor for a problem solver. You simply believe a thing can be done, get into it, and start tackling the problems you find one at a time, making it work, inventing parts, modifying parts to fit, until you've accomplished their functions. And I think I can, becomes I did it, becomes empowerment over the helplessness, the cries, and complaints that trouble us.

I have done engine conversions . It takes time , it’s to spend 3 or 4 hours just to get one engine mount right . Then there’s heater hose routing, intake ducting , and a million other things . Most workshops are going to charge a grand a day, so the more you can do yourself, the better.
