Yup! He is a poster here in tsikot, nahihiya pa daw sya. :mrgreen:

Kala ko rin nga nung una same unit nung sa iyo afrasay! Same year din yata yung model nyo, if my memory serves me right.

Hmmm... Nissan Patrol Club of the Philippines in the making? :mrgreen:

wreckless::: You silly you!!! :twisted: Silent operator ka ha! Yes!!! Dumadami na kampon namin ng naka-Safari!!!

Does it have cornering lights? Alam ko late '96 models nagkaroon nun. Aircon switch, dial type or sliding?

**wreckless** · May 21st, 2003 12:16 PM

sir kimpOy,
tnx.

sir Ungas,
may cornering lights..
dial type yung aircon switch..
walang body stickers (d pinalagay nung owner e)
parang revo yung setup nung seats sa likod..
(kaya wala syang cooler sa likod..)
wala syang aircon sa likod...(d sya dual A/C)..

since nandyan ka na rin lang..hehehehe...
at wat RPM do you shift gears??
medyo nakakapanibago kasi eh..
minsan masyado ata advance pag-shift ko ng gear..
ayoko kasi masyado mataas RPM eh...(para d matakaw sa krudo)
(d ba ganon naman talaga dapat?)

**Ungas** · May 21st, 2003 12:27 PM

wreckless::: That's the first batch nung year model ko. Bench type seats not dual a/c. Optional yung rear cooler and dual a/c with front facing 3rd row seats.

I usually shift above 2,000-3,000rpm pag normal city driving. Pag highway runs and may hinahabol na mga errands nasa 3,500-4,000rpm. Galit ang TD42 sa premature change ng gears, umaatungal talaga yan. You will have to learn to downshift when the rpm hits below 1,200-1,500rpm. Di naman matakaw yan, I could drive it 5-6km/l economy driven, meaning laid back driving style hindi nagmamadali. Pag rush ang work and adrenalin and shift above 3000rpm dun medyo matakaw, a measly 4.5km/l ang consumption.

Did you happen to check the door mouldings? Yan ang weak point sa interior. How about roof linings? Any sign of water sippage? Yung passenger window nya sa pinakalikod (cargo area), prone to rusting yung edge ng rubbers, might as well check that part too. :D
