This is a genuine Hitachi 12v starter motor to suit Nissan Patrol GQ and GU models equipped with the TD42, TD42T, and TD42Ti diesel engines. Mounted directly to the engine block, this starter engages with the flywheel to crank the engine for ignition. Replacement is required when the original unit fails due to age, internal component wear on the brushes and bearings, or electrical faults in the solenoid, which can result in slow cranking, a clicking sound, or a complete failure to start.
Using a genuine Hitachi starter, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for Nissan, is the best way to restore your Patrol's starting reliability. Cheaper aftermarket starters often lack the high-torque design required for the TD42, leading to poor starting performance, premature failure, and the risk of being stranded in the middle of nowhere.
