The 1984 Nissan Patrol: A Giant on the Tracks
The 1984 Nissan Patrol belongs to the third generation (160 Series) of this legendary off-roader, launched in 1980. This generation marked a major turning point in the model's history with the introduction of modern technologies while maintaining the toughness that had characterized it since the 1950s.
Equipped with a 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine developing about 90 horsepower, the 1984 Patrol offered exceptional off-road capabilities thanks to its permanent four-wheel drive and rigid front and rear axles. Its generous ground clearance and impressive approach angles made it an ideal companion for exploring the toughest terrains.
This model achieved remarkable commercial success, especially in regions where driving conditions demanded unwavering reliability. Its square and functional design, typical of the 80s, concealed proven engineering that appealed to both professionals and weekend adventurers alike.
Nissan in the 80s: International Expansion
In 1984, Nissan was undergoing a particularly dynamic international expansion. The Japanese brand, founded in 1933 under the name Datsun Motor Company, was progressively establishing itself on all continents through a bold strategy combining technological innovation and legendary reliability.
This decade marked a turning point in Nissan's history with the gradual phase-out of the Datsun brand in favor of the Nissan name across all global markets. The Patrol, the flagship of the 4x4 range, perfectly symbolizes this rise of the Japanese brand in the face of its American and European competitors. Nissan then focused on robust and accessible vehicles, conquering new commercial territories in regions where reliability takes precedence over prestige, establishing the foundations of its current reputation in the world of 4x4s.
The Saga of the Patrol: From the Japanese Army to Modern Adventurers
The history of the Nissan Patrol began in 1951 with the 4W60 model, initially designed to meet the needs of the Japanese Army and national police during the post-war reconstruction period. This first Patrol was directly inspired by the American Willys Jeep, but Nissan quickly infused its own innovations.
A delightful anecdote recounts that in 1958, a Patrol participated in the first Paris-Dakar organized by enthusiasts even before the official creation of the famous rally. The Japanese crew, made up of Nissan engineers testing their creation, completed the event without any major mechanical breakdowns, impressing European organizers who were discovering Japanese reliability for the first time.
In the 80s, the Patrol became the preferred companion for scientific expeditions and humanitarian missions. From the deserts of Australia to the mountains of the Himalayas, these sturdy vehicles transported researchers, journalists, and adventurers to the most remote destinations. This reputation forged the legendary image of the model, which has traversed decades without ever losing its aura of authenticity and absolute reliability.
Even today, vintage Patrols from the 80s are sought after by collectors and thrill-seekers, testament to the exceptional quality of their original design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
