With ‘PHAT-62’ on the cover of this issue and the impending release of the refreshed 2021 Navara, we opted to take a stroll down memory lane and bring you six of the best custom Nissan builds we’ve pointed the microscope at over the years.
From earth-shattering V8 transplants to clean chopped conversions, these fettled Nissans prove what’s possible with the right idea and the perfect execution.
We hope to see some more tickled Nissans next year, when the aftermarket gets to work on the updated 2021 model. Until then, here are some of the best Nissan builds gracing outback tracks.
01 PATROL UTE GETS CUMMINS POWER
WORDS JUSTIN WALKER
IT’S not too often you see a Patrol with a rear tub, like this big bopper built by Guy and the team at Patrolapart, in Lilydale, Victoria. It was built as a promotional vehicle for the business, and it’s also very comfortable when put to work as a fully-fledged touring rig – a fitting result after 18 months of after-hours work by the team.
