Genuine Nissan Hitachi Starter Motor - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ 1987-2012 & Y61 GU 1987-2012

This is a genuine Hitachi starter motor, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component for Nissan Patrol GQ and GU models fitted with the legendary TD42 diesel engine. Bolted to the engine block or transmission housing, this high-torque electrical motor engages the engine's flywheel, providing the crucial cranking power needed to start your vehicle reliably every time.

Over years of service, internal components such as the brushes, bearings, and solenoid can wear out. This leads to common starting problems like a slow cranking engine, a single loud click when turning the key, or a complete failure to turn over. Replacing a worn unit with a genuine Hitachi starter restores factory performance and prevents you from being immobilised by a no-start situation.
