Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[jefsan]

Thanks for the invitation, sir. Hopefully I am free on that day since I am so interested to see what's in it for Isuzu. Sir, what time will it start and does it have an entrance fee? Is there any requirement? Thanks!

Sir Rna800,
The entrance fee I think will only be P50. The gate will open 10AM and the show ends at 10PM. No requirements except to bring your camera and take a lot of pictures of the cars and the showgirls! Hahaha!
See you there po!

hi, i need ur help and advise. my 2005 manual ride was one of the victims of the typhoon frank in iloilo. among the many electronic damages due to a 10 ft flood water in our area, i need to look for new (or surplus) items including: a cluster meter, an a/c switch assembly, a central lock module, and side mirror switches. fortunately after 2 months in the local isuzu casa, my ECM is functional and the engine running.

pls advise where i can look for these parts in manila. if in banawe, which store do i go to?

thanks in advance and more power!

Hindi ako familiar kung saan or aling shops sa banawe specializes on isuzu (like the dmax).

yung a/c switch kailangan mo ng sample. merun akong nakuhaan sa Pasay na a/c supply store - its along EDSA (malibay, pasay area) about 100m from the kanto ng Evangelista, halos may katapat ito na overpass (sorry I forgot the name).

cluster meter (I suppose it is the cluster gauge)... i-try mo na lang ipakalas ito para mabuksan at maalis ang corrosion. but this should have been done earlier on. alternatively, chop-chop lang merun nito na mura. sa CASA siguradong mahal.

central lock module, palitan mo nalang ng generic lock - you don't have to go to banawe for that and usually alarms with central lock go at around P3000 to 4000 with installation na.

side mirror switches, CASA lang din ito or chop-chop shops (like in Capalangan, Pampanga) kaso hindi na practical puntahan yun kasi medyo malayo para a iyo.

.... Try finding another dealership and have it checked coz for sure, that will get worst. I just based it from my experience.

i have already done that for the past 2 years... hindi pa rin na sosolve ang mystery

Thank you, sir. I am so looking forward to it and I would really love to take pictures of those showgirls as long as my girl would not come.hehe See you!

I am not sure of what these shops specialize in but I could guarantee that lots of cars, SUV's and pickups go there. The last time I visited I saw 2 brand new Land Cruisers and a brand new Starex. That shop is Goldrich. I think their sister company is Goldcars. Goldrich is located on the side of Q. Ave that goes to QC Circle. Turn right in Banawe (Max's side) then you'll see that very big shop about 500 meters to your left. Or you could try to call them at these numbers: [SIZE=2]712-6610, 741-4676, 741-4673, 741-4681. If you want to inquire at Goldcars, their site is www.goldcarsph.com. For Miggyboy, their site is www.miggyboy.com.

Wow! 2 years!?! I guess they are missing something. Sir, do you have a trusted shop outside Isuzu dealerships? Maybe you could try that.

However, my cousin has a BMW and I always see that his check engine light is always lighting but he told me that's nothing.

But the fact that it's lighting means something is wrong with it.

[wildthing]

i do have other shops/people who have looked into it other than the casas - MOTECH and a smart and trustly road mechanic... none of them can solve it either.

surprisingly, kahit nakakabit yung diagnostic tool nila sa port at ipinatakbo ko yung oto so "show" that recurring problem e walang madetect na problem ang diagnostic tool.

thank u for your inputs wildthing and rna800

Blow off valve for DMAX???

[8800621]

wish come true na po mga kuya... just have to change the rubber hosing of the intercooler to a steel one para pede lagyan ng BOV... cute nga po the sound... "Pssssssssssssh"... as for the performance before and after the installation, still the same malakas parin ang hatak... no delay in the change of gears, no engine knock, same boost reading (0.9 bar), same speed in nlex (180kph) d-maxxed out, same engine sound with the "pssssssssssssssh" !!! will try to post some videos soon... :D ... peace

Aftermarket tach for DMAX ???

Sorry to hear that bro. Madugo yang nangyari sa D-Max mo. Anyway, you'll have to be patient in searching for surplus items. Kung brand new, any dealer can order them for you but it'll cost you a fortune. Jayson Auto Supply in the Manila/Binondo area sells OEM D-Max parts, just backread this thread or use the tsikot search for their contact numbers and address.

If you have no choice but to get a brand new meter cluster (gauge cluster?), I suggest you get the optitron gauges of the 2008 D-Max, kung gagastos ka na rin lang.

8800621,

wow na max out mo to 180kph!!! gusto ko sana ng ganyan... kaso baka masilip na ng office ang drop ng mileage ko hehehe.

btw, saan mo pinatrabaho yung BOV mo?

Why would you need an after market tach (inioover rev mo ba ng more than 4000rpm ang engine mo)?

magkano ang inabot ng new set-up?

the bov(hks) brand padala po galing tate... includes the flange, 2 t-connections, 2m pressures hose, and of course the bov, with installation manual ^_^

the tach 5k po sa banawe... mas accurate po the reading ng aftermarket tach because po of the fine graduations... and also sometimes used to tipid the diesel (how????) shift light reading at 2000 rpm (release acceleration pedal for matic or shift gear for manual tranny)... for speed freaks, shift light reading at 4500 rpm...

{the steel pipe(150 php) + bending(200 php) any muffler shop} + installation(me) ^_^ total 350 php... :D peace...

Blow off valve for DMAX???

Finally proof that it can be done! Nabuhay na naman kaming mga speed junkies hihihi. There's only one thing I'm afraid of an HKS BOV - the price hehehe.

Nice work sir :thumbup:
