Nissan Frontier Navara [continued]

[fierari]

* fierari: patay! hindi mo na lang sana nabangit kay whistler na nagpalit ka from bilsteins... BTW ganda nun effect ng vht's sa grille mo ah. is that result from a can of spray paint?

hahahha ayus naman bilstein pero far better lang talaga OME. Yan yung spray paint para sa tail light nanghihinayang kasi ako mag sand ng burger at para mabalik ko ulit sya sa dati pag nag sawa na ako. 4 coats ata yan. Nalimutan ko sabihin Nissan burger lang yung ginawa ko saka yung red nissan letters.

[fierari]

Haha.. Bakit Bilstein ba kinabit ni Whistler?

Alam kona ang next shocks and springs ko..Kasya kaya yan sa Thai Nav?

*fierari: Akin na lang yang pinaglumaan mong Bilstein..

OME ka na lang mas bagay sa pilipinas heheheh

For those doing their oil change..

Checking oil level and setting oil-change interval (wrench symbol)

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INFORMATION:
- When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, a wrench symbol and the distance to oil change information are displayed for approximately 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, oil level information will be displayed as follows:
Oil Good: Oil level is sufficient for driving
Oil Lo: Oil level is low, therefore, engine oil needs to be added immediately.

- When pushing the reset knob while the "Oil Good" message is displayed, detailed oil level information, level 5 to level 1 indicating the number of "o" on the screen, will be displayed.


CHANGE-OIL INTERVAL INFORMATION:

- In order to enter change-oil schedule set-up mode, press the trip odometer / trip computer reset knob for approximately 3 seconds during the first 5 seconds after having turned the ignition switch to the ON position. (while the wrench symbol and distance to oil change information are displayed)

- The wrench symbol will blink indicating that you can now adjust the interval.

- Push the trip dial (forward increments only) to the desired interval - 500kms increments.

- Minimum is 0 maximum is 300,000. If 0 s selected the engine oil change schedule function is disabled, in which case there will be no wrench symbol or distance shown when the ignition is turned to the ON position.

- If no further action is taken, the display returns to odometer information and the new interval is set.

- If the distance to oil change is exceeded, a minus prefix will appear in front of the displayed distance and the wrench symbol will blink in order to draw your attention to the necessary action.

Mukhang trade off talaga ng Bilstein yung comfort for handling and durability. Ang bigat naman kasi ng karga ko lagi, nakakapanghinayang yung OME kung masisira ko lang agad. Ang sama pa ng roads dito. Kaya medyo torn ako kung magpapalit pa. On the one hand sarap i-turn si nav sa sunod sunod na twisties kahit unladen, parang kotse hehe. Pero pag sunod-sunod na sharp na lubak medyo magsslow down ka talaga pag walang karga.



OME mukhang for comfort talaga. Pa test drive naman ng mga naka OME dyan para ma compare ko na, baka naman masyado lang malaki expectations ko from just changing the shocks.

*fierari
Nagpalit ka din pala ng coils sa front. Sa likod same lang stock springs ng Pro4x sa LE?

*12vdc
Nangyari once sa akin yung "oil low", pero after checking the oil a couple of hours after shutting down ok naman level sa dipstick. Electronic glitch kaya?

* whistler: nice! nav * work! o, ok na... tapos na photo shoot, ibaba na uli ang mga gulong :P

naka-soft lid ka na din pala? tagal na natin hindi nagkikita ah?

[Wh1stl3r]

*pedic
Softlid lang kasi pwede sa ganyang karga. Idol ko kayo ni pres e hehe. Tagal na nga natin di nagkikita. Absent ka kasi sa Vikings!

[fierari]

nagpalit din ako front coils i used OME light duty springs.

sa likod di ko ma confirm kung pareho pero pag pinag tabi mo yun stock LE sa stock Pro4x, pro4x sits higher about an inch or less. half inch is due to the larger tire of pro4x 265/75 r16 while the LE ans SE uses 265/60 R18 & 265/70 R16. not sure about the other half it must be the suspension.


wala ba kayo utilitrac bat parang di ko maaninag sa pic?

sya nga pala wala ba kayo rock chip damage sa rear fender? yun sakin kasi sobrang durog na parang na sand blast. galing yung mga bato sa front tire. design flaw ata ito. nilagyan ko sya ng mas malaking 3M protection film pero durog durog na din. wala kasi akong step board. pag may step board ba walang damage?

Wala akong utilitrac bro, di sya offered as an option dito. Pero yung softlid ng Carryboy may railing for the rods that support the lid so pwede din syang gawing track.

No stone damage on mine so far, nahaharang nga ng stepboard. Siguro sobrang bilis mo offroad kaya ganyan hehe. Maybe try fitting a longer mudguard for more coverage?

YOKOHAMA/TOKYO (July 13, 2011) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation today announced that the two companies have agreed to manufacture the current generation Nissan Navara, a one-ton pickup truck, at Mitsubishi Motors' plant in the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate in Thailand. The production under this agreement is scheduled to commence in 2012.

This new production is part of an agreement signed in December 2010 to expand the scope of cooperation between the two companies. It follows a prior announcement in June 2011 regarding the establishment of the joint venture NMKV Co., Ltd, to develop both companies' minicar business in Japan. This new production agreement is expected to enhance the competitiveness of both companies.

* 12vdc: hehehe, ang kaso yun casa mo hyundai na pala ngayun!

Taka nga ako naghahanap ako ng caliper pin, hyundai na daw sila at service na lang daw ang provided sa nissan. Pero confirmed ko sa NGQA walang lift pump sa tank ang Nav, yung SCV daw ang pinaka lift pump.

* whistler: nice! nav * work! o, ok na... tapos na photo shoot, ibaba na uli ang mga gulong :P

Share ko din Nav at work ko. Pagkatapos ng photoshoot...

[DeathRow]

keelaween! hehehe

that's too much brader. the highest you can go w/o issues is 1-1/2" * the front, * the rear around 2".

higher than these you'll likely be encountering UCA contact with the coil bucket. at the rear, handling problems naman with swaying because of using too long shackles

nakakagawa naman tayo ng utilitrac dito. bili ka UNISTRUT channel sa greenleepareho na din yun. yung cleats lang problem pero pwede namanmagpa-machine shop. nakita ni cerloo yung ginawa ko ang alam ko naka-bili na sya hindi ko lang alam kung naikabit na

[12vdc]

No stock ang caliper pin.. Seized na at nirepair ko lang yung lower part, may water breach na before pa ako magpalit ng pads..

Hindi maiwasan lumusong sa baha eh.. Last time punta ko Legazpi puro baha.. Pagdating sa Manila, baha ulit..

Hey guys, have you experience a thumping/rattling sound in your navaras' engine bay? I just noticed it a while ago. Quite audible inside the cabin with the stereo turned off. If you must know, the sound lasts for about 5-8 seconds and stops, then comes back again.

I just remembered cleaning the engine bay last week using a mildly damped cloth and now I'm thinking that I may have touched some sensitive parts inside the engine bay. Not sure about it though if it was the cause of the sound I hear.

[franster]

oh, and I only hear it when my pick up is on idle. Still has 3,900+ mileage on it.

Could the sound that I hear lead to some serious problems?

[franster]

Update: Started the engine this morning and noticed it to be evident after turning the A/C on. The sound goes away for a while and comes back. I'm sure it's not the A/C cause I'm familiar with the sound the A/C produces when turning it on. What I hear is a repeating faint sound of a thump like a knock.
