First Test : M57 Nissan Patrol Y61

Welcome to my first proper green laning adventure in Wales with my recently converted 2004 Nissan Patrol Y61 / GU — now running the legendary BMW M57 engine conversion paired to the incredible ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic gearbox. This trip, which we named “Best of the Best 2026”, takes on some of the most challenging and technical green lanes in Wales. If you're into Nissan Patrol builds, M57 swaps, ZF8HP gearbox conversions, or serious UK off roading — this one’s for you. The M57 Patrol absolutely transforms the Y61 platform. The torque delivery, reliability and drivability of the BMW 3.0 diesel M57 engine combined with the silky-smooth shifting of the ZF 8HP automatic gearbox makes this one of the most capable green laning setups in the UK. The power delivery on steep climbs, technical rock sections, muddy ruts and tight forestry tracks shows exactly why this engine conversion is becoming so popular in the 4x4 community. But it wasn’t without cost… This Wales green laning weekend pushed both driver and vehicle. Both rear wheel arches need replacing, the passenger door picked up a dent, wing mirrors didn’t survive, and I even managed to lose the CB aerial from the canopy roof. That’s real off-road driving. No posing — just proper UK 4WD adventure.
