What We Do for Your Y61 Patrol
Proven modifications for the Y61 Patrol platform — done right.
ECU Remapping
The ZD30 diesel responds strongly to remapping. We calibrate with heat management in mind, delivering strong, reliable gains.
Intercooler Upgrades
ZD30 Patrol intercooler upgrades are critically important — the factory unit is notoriously undersized. An upgraded intercooler dramatically reduces heat soak and is essential for reliable, sustained performance.
Exhaust Systems
A 3" stainless exhaust reduces backpressure, improving spool response on the ZD30. Off-road DPF options available.
Catch Can Systems
Blow-by management is important on the ZD30. A quality catch can helps protect the intake from contamination, particularly important at higher kilometres.
Suspension & Lift
The Y61 Patrol is one of the heaviest and most capable 4WDs available. We build suspension setups that handle touring weight and accessory loads while maintaining the Patrol's legendary off-road capability.
Touring & Accessory Builds
Dual battery systems, auxiliary lighting, snorkels, roof racks, and communication gear — we build complete Y61 Patrol touring rigs ready for the most remote Australian conditions.
