Put the tyres down low enough, I'm sure the old Datsun would go fine :rockon:

Hi Bro,

I bought a used Pathy (2004) model few months back and am quite happy with. I have had about 10-12 drives without any specific problems. the advice I got from experienced off-roaders while buying the car was to ensure that I buy the 3.5 litre model. This was sold somewhere between 2002 - 2004. The model before that was 3.5 lit, which has much lesser power and hence is not very suitable for off-road. The model from 2005 onwards has even higher power but the settings are not suitable for desert driving.

In your mail I notice that you are talking about buying the correct model (3.5 L). Please ensure you donot deviate from it any end up buying the 3.3 L model.

All the best. Cheers!

Thanks Alok. I will stick on pathy 2002-04 model 3.5L. which spec you have bought, GCC/US? did you filter your choice by the spec when you searched for the car?

See, I have the GCC specs. I am not very technical on cars and GCC Vs US specks were not a criterion for me while deciding. Only thing that I have heard is that GCC specs have better engine cooling mechanisms and stronger ACs to take care of higher temperatures in this part of the world. At the same time I also read somewhere in these forums that the US specs are actually higher in terms of vehicle body strength etc.

I guess you should consult some more knowledgeable friends who might be more educated on the subject.
