Nissan Patrol parts from Dubai for export: Y61, Y62 and Safari

Wikipedia's Patrol article dates the Y61 from October 1997 to April 2024, a run of more than 26 years. Nissan Shatai in Japan built it throughout, with other lines at different times in Spain, South Africa, Morocco, Pakistan and the Philippines. The Middle East also took special editions of the Y61, among them the Super Safari, Falcon, Gazelle and Al Ostoura, so a Gulf Y61 is not always a plain catalogue truck.

The Y62 followed in January 2010, and Nissan launched it in the Middle East on 13 February 2010 in Abu Dhabi. Gulf trims run XE, SE, SE-Platinum City, LE, LE-Titanium, LE-Platinum City and the Nismo. The seventh-generation Y63 has been on sale in the Middle East since 1 November 2024, and this page does not cover it: send the VIN and a person says what can be quoted. Safari is the name the Y60 and Y61 carried in Japan, so a Safari owner reads the Y61 row.

One caution about references. Wikipedia's own Patrol article gives GR as the right-hand-drive code in its Y60 section and as the left-hand-drive code in its Y61 section, so we never match a truck by a two-letter prefix. The 17-character VIN and the number on the engine are what a person checks.

The Y61's petrol engines are the TB family of inline sixes. Wikipedia's engine article gives the TB42 as 4,169 cc with overhead valves and 175 PS, with fuel injection added in 1992. The TB45 is 4,479 cc, again overhead valve, and the E carries fuel injection where the S has a carburettor. The TB48DE, dated 2001, is 4,759 cc with twin overhead camshafts and valve timing control, rated 251 PS and 420 Nm, and the Y61's five-speed automatic is listed for this engine alone.

The diesel to ask about is the ZD30DDTi, a 2,953 cc turbocharged four. Wikipedia describes a first generation with a VP44 distributor pump and an intercooler, rated 116 kW and 352 Nm in the Y61 from September 1999 to August 2002, and a second generation on Bosch common rail at 1,600 bar from 2007. It lists a Patrol rating for the second generation without dates, so a later Y61 diesel could carry either design, and the injection parts differ.

The Y62 offers a 4.0 litre VQ40DE V6 on entry trims and a 5.6 litre V8 above them, and the references disagree on the V8's code. Wikipedia's VK article lists the Patrol under both the VK56DE, 317 to 320 hp, for 2010 to 2016 and the VK56VD, with direct injection and variable valve lift at 400 hp, for 2010 to 2023. A CarAdvice listing gives VK56VD while an Australian review gives VK56DE. Treat the code as unknown until the number on the engine is read, because the two differ in fuelling and valve gear.

Kuwait is the clearest market. Best Selling Cars Blog's 2025 table puts the Patrol third among models, up 23.6%, behind the Land Cruiser and the Prado, with Nissan holding 9% of 152,879 new cars. A Kuwaiti Patrol is a left-hand-drive Gulf truck like the UAE's, though we ask for the VIN to confirm. Kuwait Times reported a severe parts shortage on 28 July 2026, adding that dealers held back genuine filters and similar items for their own service bays, so a Kuwaiti workshop may look to Dubai for a full list.

Qatar is smaller. The Patrol was fourth among its models in 2024 and fifth in 2025, although its sales rose 9.4% in a market of 88,065 new vehicles. Qatar requires a certificate of conformity, issued before shipment, on brake pads, safety belts, wheel rims and tyres. If pads are on your Patrol list, ask on WhatsApp before you order, because the certificate has to exist before the goods leave the UAE.

In Saudi Arabia Nissan sales fell 1.1% in 2025 and Ford took fourth place, and the free tables do not show the Patrol's own rank, so we cite none. Saudi Arabia bans used car parts except certified remanufactured engines, gearboxes, differentials and outer bodies, which is one reason a Saudi Patrol list is new parts. Iraq put Nissan third among brands in 2025, behind Kia and Toyota, with 160,737 new vehicles in all. We found no source ranking the Patrol inside that, and Iraq's duty on parts is still unclear under Decision 957.

A Patrol list is usually built around the engine and the gearbox, because those two codes decide most part numbers. Wikipedia names the Y61's four-speed RE4R03A and five-speed RE5R05A automatics and two manual boxes. For the Y62 it names a five-speed automatic, the seven-speed RE7R01B and a six-speed manual sold from 2010 to 2016. A gearbox seal or filter kit is therefore quoted against the gearbox code, never against the model name alone.

Suspension splits too. Wikipedia says the Y62 Desert Edition has ordinary suspension in place of the hydraulic body-control system that the other trims carry, so shock absorbers and struts for the two are different lists. Lamps and grilles split by year as well: the trade-press articles Wikipedia cites point to Gulf Y62 changes in 2014 and again in 2019. Tell us the trim and the build year, and photograph the old part with its number.

We use three labels. Genuine is a Nissan-branded part from a UAE distributor. OE-brand is made by a firm that also supplies the carmaker, such as Denso, Aisin, KYB or NGK, and is quoted under its own name. Quality aftermarket is an independent brand made to the Nissan pattern, such as GMB or NPW. Each Patrol line carries one label, the brand and the part number, so two quotes compare like with like.

The only price ladder we have measured in Dubai is on Toyota parts, on 3 November 2026, with 5% VAT included. One front pad set, Toyota number 04465-60380, was AED 322 to 399 as a genuine part, AED 216 from MK Kashiyama, a Japanese brake brand, and AED 58 to 73 from budget brands. We have not measured a Patrol ladder and print no Patrol price, but the spread shows why the label matters.

The word genuine proves little alone. One Dubai listing for a budget brake pad at AED 58, read on 3 November 2026, describes it as genuine quality. A Patrol quote therefore names the brand on the box and the number on the part, and says in plain words which of the three labels each line carries.

Nissan sold the Y62 in North America as the Armada from the 2017 model year, and as the Infiniti QX56 from 2010, renamed QX80 later. Wikipedia's VK article lists the Armada and the QX80 with the same 5.6 litre V8 family, at 390 to 400 hp for the Armada against 400 hp for the Patrol. A shared engine family does not make a part interchangeable: a number found under Armada or QX80 is a lead for a person to check against your Gulf VIN, not a match.

On the Y61 side, the Safari in Japan, the Gulf special editions and the trucks built in South Africa and Morocco can differ in equipment around similar engines. If your truck's engine is not the one its first owner bought, say so, because we quote to the engine in the truck. A Y61 pickup is its own body as well: Wikipedia says it entered production at Nissan Shatai in April 2011, so say whether you drive the wagon or the pickup.

Send the 17-character VIN, the engine number, the month and year of build, the trim, the gearbox code if you know it, and a photograph of the old part with its number. Put every part on one list: a Patrol list quoted together is the order we quote, and a single pad set or one filter is not. A person replies with each line's label, brand and part number, and confirms on WhatsApp how to pay.

Three checks matter most on a Patrol. First, the V8's code on a Y62. Second, the ZD30's generation on a Y61 diesel. Third, the gearbox code, since the five-speed automatic is listed for the TB48DE alone, so an automatic Y61 with another engine has the four-speed. Read each against the engine and gearbox numbers on your truck, and on a genuine line ask which UAE distributor it came from, because a distributor can issue an invoice for the lot where it allows.
