Last issue, we talked about Toyota LC80(J80). As a competing model in the same period, Nissan Toure Y60 is a top competitor. From the day it was born, Toure fell in love with Toyota Land Patrol, and discussions began almost from the time it was born and changed. The Y60 generation is already the fourth generation model of Toure, and it is also marching into the high-end car field. My earliest impression of it is that there used to be an off-road vehicle club in Beijing called hardcore machine, and Toure is a very common model in hardcore machine. I remember one time when I went out to play, I saw the distant Toure Y60 whizzing by with yellow fog lights. This square shape is hard to erase with the shock and visual impact brought by the roar of large-displacement engines.
Although I have always had a soft spot for J80, I have always been fascinated by cars with hard front and rear axles. Although the road handling performance is not good, although the driving stability is poor, although the self-weight is much heavier than the independent suspension, it feels different when it comes to off-road ground. Therefore, the front and rear integrated bridge car can be regarded as a cheating tool in off-road If you are used to driving urban off-road vehicles such as Highlander and Tuda, giving you a hard-core off-road vehicle with an integrated front and rear bridge will definitely improve your off-road ability.
Therefore, hard-core off-road vehicles are mostly non-load-bearing body and front and rear hard bridge design. However, since Y62 Toure, great changes have taken place on the whole. In order to gain market recognition and let manufacturers know that fewer and fewer people are pursuing pure off-road fun, the design of the sixth generation of Toure has begun a luxurious and comfortable way. However, we have to admit that people who have driven Y62 off-road still recognize its off-road performance.
Let's talk about this generation of classic Y60, 1987, which was born on 1997 and discontinued. Ten years, all over the Middle East, Asia, Australia and the United Nations peacekeeping forces. Perhaps the most impressive thing is Toule with the letter UN in peacekeeping troops. At that time, gasoline was called patrol.
Engine displacement includes gasoline and diesel, including four engines. Our common engines are TD42 4.2L diesel engine and TB424.2L inline six-cylinder gasoline engine. And, of course, the turbocharged TD42T. After the turbine is installed, the disadvantages of plateau operation are completely eliminated.
Let's talk about modification first. Because it is a front and rear hard bridge, it is more convenient than independent suspension lifting. According to the actual modification height, it is decided whether it is necessary to replace the cutter arm, eccentric rubber sleeve, lowering seat, etc. For example, the most basic elevation of 2 inches is the most economical elevation scheme. But Y60 itself is lower than J80, so it is high enough to show the crudeness of Toule.
In the cross-country process, you will find that the chassis of Y60 Toure is stronger than that of J80, and you can often see Toure in various events. Although the foundation is good, the engine is Toure's pain. The engine quality is not bad, but compared with the advantages of Toyota Land Patrol engine, Nissan is slightly weaker. So in the end, either replace the TB48 engine used by Y6 1 or simply replace it with Toyota 2UZ or the older 1FZ.
As a very tough policeman, Toure has a wide range of applications. There are many refit factories in Iceland near the Arctic Circle in the northern hemisphere. We have not given up the improvement of Y60. With the huge tires and the strength of the original front and rear axles of Toure, can you do this? Huge modification, can gallop in? On the snowfield ice sheet.
In Australia in the southern hemisphere, Toure serves cross-country enthusiasts as a helper for long-distance camping. Even if you are very old, you can be qualified for the weekend just because of your strong motivation? All the needs of a cross-country holiday. Of course, this requires you to have enough budget, even in Australia ~
Maybe you still think these are not suitable for you. For friends who simply like cross-country, you can get a very leisurely trip by simply modifying the Toure. As mentioned above, do you improve your cross-country skills by accumulating experience, or? You own an off-road vehicle with a hard front and rear axle.
Although I like it, although I have done too much homework, my understanding of this car is still too limited. Maybe I can really own one in the future, renovate, modify and collect it, and finally stand side by side with the old J80? This is my dream. (End) It's time to enjoy the pictures.
