Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[blue_gambit]

I also use a cassete adaptor on my N73 for my ride, its better than the adaptor you plug in the back of the cd changer that you might be able to buy. A friend of mine bought one of those, he said that the volume of his i-pod decreased that he had to volume-up. But when going back to fm the volumes now too loud. sort of a let down

ganyan din sounds ko... i bought a cassette adaptor pang CD player. ang connector nun ay banana plug that would fit the headphone jack of the ipod.

set it sa cassette mode and viola when you play the ipod the music will be heard sa HU...along with all the controls for the equalizer.

yung sa CDR king ko got toasted after about a month use lang... kasi hindi inaalis pag-iniistart ang pick-up. Ung surge ng koryente siguro ang nanira dito.

betweent the CDR king fm transmitter and the cassette option, mas maganda ang music quality sa cassette option.



I use my SE k800i (the black connectors is an accessory ng sony ericsson) as my mp3 player...nagiging hands free na rin yan (na rinig mo sa speakers). That SE accessories also have a "remote" play, ff, fb, pause/stop, volume controls" so it functions like a walkman....kahit naka lock ang phone.

Ganyan din mangyayari sa ipod mo....only the banana jack could be your problem kung hindi standard ang size niyan, kakailanganin mo pa ng adaptor.

jarhead - di ba meron binibentang lift-up kit for the Dmax? A friend of mine told me that medyo tatagtag daw ang ride if we lift?

dpende sa pagkalift nya... hindi ko lang alam kung meron lift kit for the dmax.. if he just adjusted the torsion bar and yup matagtag talaga..... but if you do it right then there is no compromise sa ride(factory specs withe the height you want)... meron sa mga 4x4 magz or website on how to lift up a car... meron ako nakita dito sa US na mga pick ups naka lift but they say the ride wasnt compromised kc it was done the right way and doin the right way means "money" ... hehehehe... you should spend alot kung gusto nyo maganda parin ride nyo kahit naka lift.. hindi yun hocus pokus lang.... hehehe... maganda rin ang body lift as long as you have the right parts for it... and dapat you should have done your homework kung papano... modifying isnt an overnight learning or process, its a lifetime... so dahan2x lang sa mga mods para wala regrets at the end...

[jarhead]

Jarhead, bai, thanks sa explanation para kay sinister,,hehehe, expert ka talaga dyan,,..uli ka na bai?

sinister, it's up to you to decide to continue with your mods

no prob srbogoy.... im still here sa states.. be home by january siguro

[jarhead]

Sir Jarhead,
I agree na ung planta did not do any mods re: suspension lift, japan specs is wat the plant (ipc) follows including thailand. parts came from thailand (ckd) except for the rims, tires and audio (local). note: all dmax LS/LX are CKD; LT is CBU. For our common reference. :bokmal:

sir, the dmax po sa thialnd is a bit different sa japan... what we are folowing are the specs of thailand... japan has some diferent specs sa dmax nila dun and if im not mistaken it snot dmax dun.. its rodeo ata... and lahat po ng dmax now is assembld dito na sa pinas... til 2005 lang ang CBUs dumating sa pinas... ull now naman sa chassis number mo... but its being assembled by international standard... kaya chevy borowed our dmax platform and made the colorado....

[Memphis Raines]

jarhead - yup, yung torsion lang daw ang adjust niya to lift his Dmax just a bit (so that's why tagtag pala) meron daw lift-up kit for the Rodeo (Dmax japan ata yan) available sa Skyjacker but medyo mahal ata

Share ko rin to. My pinsan brought his all new Dmax today kasi fiesta dito sa aming barrio bukas. He let me drive it kanina...potek ang tulin! As in I was pushed to my seat when I hit it hahaha! Ganda pa ng interior, whoa! Ang bilis talaga parang mag-isa lang akong nakasakay. The ride is a bit bouncy compared to my stock shocks before.

It's definitely taller not only sa looks. The wheel wells have a higher arc cut so it also contributes to the tall look. The engine sound is more muffled which is apparent in the cabin.

Napadalawang isip tuloy ako hahaha!

[srbogoy]

Memps, hapi fiesta bai,,papost naman ng pics sa interior,

esep esep ka tuloy ngayon....

kaya nagkakaganyan yung input nya sa likod (CD changer) ng HU... ang kailangan nun ay amplified input.

Bale dapat Ipod->miniamplifier->HU and set-up niya.

Kahit na siguro 2watts amplifier lang ubra na.

Or itry nya itaas ang volume ng Ipod pag nakakabit dun sa HU.

[sinister_fadz]

tnx po sa info mga sirs.. nywy, mgkano po ba ung old man emu na shox? and mgkano rin po kaya yung parang circle na plastic na spacer between the leafs of a flex ride leaf spring? un saken kc ay ng.crack sa gitna kaya half lng ang natira ngaun.. di pla matibay ang gnamit ng isuzu na material sa flex ride suspension.. bcoz its plastic, it easily breaks or cracks..

[srbogoy]

'pre 5K each ang EMU, kung naka inverted primary leaf kana ang sa harapan lang ang palitan mo ng emu..

dati akong naka emu lahat pero ibinalik ko sa orig ang likod dahil matagtag kung emu, hindi kasi ako nagloload ng mabibigat at city drive lang ako.

plastic spacers di ko alam ang price nyan..

[blue_gambit]

whereas the cassete adaptor has built-in amplifier daw..

i opened my cassette adaptor... merun electronic component nga ... pero I have doubt na amplifier yun kasi capacitor and resistor lang ang laman nito... na parang nakaparallel lang. I think it is more of a "voltage" stabilizer and not an amplifier.



overall, yung nagtatransfer ng signal from the player (ex ipod) to the cassette head reader is another cassette head.

guys if you have free time, to try the download the top gear polar special edition or search the pics in yahoo. Parang mas gusto ko na maghi-lux over the navara. Damn! Im sure magugustuhan niyo rin yun hi-lux.

[wildthing]

oh i also love those hilux:

[wildthing]

[jarhead]

kaya pala matagtag ride nya eh and dapat naka wheel alignment yun after the torsion is being tampered... pwede mo naman i-adjust not more than an inch.. pwede rn yan pre but i think pang off road ang set up nyan... coz iv seen sa thailand na dmax being lifted up and its all 4x4 and used sa off road talaga... but yeah pwede rin yan and you could put in big rims also para nice tingnan..

memps the wheel arc is just the same sa dmax mo... the arc wasnt tempered but pwede mo na yan lagyan ng 22 and 20 na mejo makapal ang rubber... and yup veyr nice talaga ang new dmax.. matulin and lots of power...manual or matic ba kinuha nya??? 4x4???

sir jarhead,
2007 LT or dmax standard model is based on Costa Rica/Guatemala specs and it was shipped CBU from thai. Based on my resources from the plant, they will start doin ckd early next year. Difference natin from Japan, similar with the thai's or holden Australia na they hav more options to choose from like the engine (diesel/petrol), cab type (single, double or spacecab). Wat differs is basically is the branding, parts we're getting from IML and IOT, i agree w/ u na all chassis installed sa LX, LS were all stamped here (re:chassis no.) but still, materials shipped directly from thailand.

srbogoy - sorry, wasn't able to take shots ngayon lang ako napabasa uli dito sa thread natin. Bilog na ang mga aircon vents but most of all, I can't take my eyes off those opti meters/gauges!

jarhead - 4x2 manual. Looks like naduling lang siguro ako sa excitement yup, ganda nga lagyan ng larger tires (rubber) because of those wheel wells. I just wish they could offer better, more sportier stock rims.

Haaaaay!

[blue_gambit]

ganda pla ng stock rims ng 4x4 d-max, 16' black chrome goes well the with the black unit. Very nice makeover Isuzu!

Memphs, stock rin ba yung shocks sa D-Max ng pinsan mo?
