Nissan Frontier Navarra [ARCHIVED]

[pjpike]

boys! may nakita ako kanina sa edsa going northbound. silver nav 4x2 astig naka HID at yellow fog lamps. ang pinaka okay pa, pansin ko yung third brake lamp niya US version. as in gitna lang umiilaw, yung sides parang sa atras ata or reflector basta di siya umiilaw. pero alam ko US ver yun. eto pa, astig pala pag ginawang body color yung chrome part sa bumper sa likod. parang nadedemonyo ako subukan hehe. ganda pa ng pagkakapaint niya. sino kaya sa atin yun?

gusto ko sana kunan ng picture pakita ko sa inyo pero for his privacy di ko na kinunan. at yung plate # di ko na sinilip hehe. sayang matagal tagal ko pa sana papansinin kaya lang ang daming bus ng INC anniversary kasi nila kanina hindi na ako nakahabol. anyway kung sino ka man astig truck mo! very nice idea sa bumper!

yun lang share ko lang haha.

[hpon]

ano na ba sir mga mods ng nav mo? meron ba gumawa ng custom fiber glass lid covers na body color locally na kukumpetensiya kay carryboy... masyado mahal yung kanila. bumpers nga nga complex yung shape kaya nila gawin, lid covers pa kaya ng nav natin... just an opinion lang naman.

la pang mods nav ko sir..lagyan ko na lang pag uwi ko nang pinas..buti naman at marami nang nag post nang pic nang mga mods nila...hindi na ako mahihirapan mag isip nito kung ano mods ko na gagawin sa nav ko..hehe

ask ko lang sana kung exactly PCD 114 ba rims nang nav natin?..tsaka kung bibili ako nang shock tataas ba nav ko at magiging mas maganda ba riding comfort?..any info naman po kung pano taas ang nav at magiging mas maganda riding comfort nya newbie po kasi ako sa mga mods nang sasakyan..

sir loki, same thing happened to our truck sundo ko utol coz baha.next day noticed basa po carpet/matting kala namin kunti lng tubig,pero checkd it further may tubig po ilalim ng carpet. so dala nlng namin casa para tanggalin nila carpet.at the same time pina lagyan namin plastic cover ang carpet same plastic u use to cover books only thicker para d madali masira n madumihan carpet,mud sand o accidentlly spilling soda.for under chasis rust proofing try nyo po 3m na brand 2 gallons.

sir hapon ok naman ride pag lift and change shox,mas firm po suspension likod due to medyo harder shox.kailangan namin palitan coz use the truck to haul about 15 sacks fertilizer,and lift pag punta farm.but if highway lng route truck ok na stock shox(softer) but if u carry heavy load parang naka squat na likod mo.

Basic suspension know-how made easy.

Ever more powerful engines and faster cars mean that suspension systems have become a vital development aspect in the automotive industry. And these systems will play an increasingly important role in the future, because the chassis - particularly the springs and shock absorbers - provides the link between the wheel suspension and the car body, ensuring optimum contact with the road. Read on for a simple explanation of how it all works.

Suspension: road grip - traction - comfort

The suspension is the link between the road and the car body. The job of the suspension is to reduce - as far as possible in a controlled fashion - the vibrations from the wheel and the car body caused by an uneven road or changes of direction. Every attempt must be made to prevent these vibrations from being transmitted to the car body in order to reduce rocking, pitching and diving, avoid swaying, and ensure optimum road contact and traction with minimum slip.

Shock absorbers and how they work

The shock absorbers reduce and slow down the vibrations from the springs, which is why technically they are correctly referred to as vibration dampers.Vibration dampers convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through fluid friction. This involves the flow of oil being slowed down by the valve passages inside the damper.

The valve passages in the shock absorber are specifically designed to ensure that the vibrations transmitted by the spring are reduced right from the start.The shock absorbers can heat up to between 100 and 120oC in the process.

Hydraulic shock absorbers:
Nowadays, hydraulic shock absorbers are rarely used in today's automotive industry. From a technical point of view, this type of damper is a poor solution, because the oil contains approximately 10% air. Under load, the air and oil molecules separate (foaming/cavitation), resulting in a noticeable drop in the damping force - on longer journeys on country roads and motorways, a loss of up to 35% damping force can be measured. That means the wheels provide poorer road holding; only after a break does the damper regain its full force and the vehicle its original driving performance.

Gas pressure shock absorbers:

With gas pressure shock absorbers, this loss of damping force does not occur. The use of nitrogen ensures that the shock absorber oil is permanently under pressure, thereby preventing foaming, even under load. As a result, the driving performance of a car fitted with gas pressure shock absorbers can be precisely defined and remains reliably stable, whatever the situation; this constitutes a substantial bonus in terms of safety.
Gas pressure shock absorbers are available with either mono- or twin-tube technology.
The proven twin-tube system represents top-class technology at an attractive price. The mono-tube system, on the other hand, is the technology of choice in motor sports and on standard sports cars. The comparatively larger effective area of the working piston ensures greater damping force and better handling. Optimum discharge of thermal energy into the atmosphere means consistent high performance can be achieved and the sturdy design provides maximum safety reserves in flexible fitting conditions, e.g. inverted technology.

sir karlitozz, yung sainyo po ba harap tyaka likod yung basa? sakin kasi passengers side lang sa harap. di ko masabi kung basa sya dahil sa payong tyaka shoes eh. pano mo po nalaman kung pinasok ng tubig baha yung nav? hehe...

[julezjampad]

*hpon - try to look at the earlier threads about lifting kits.

[huggiesxl]

gandang gabi po nav owners, tanong ko lng po sa mga nakapagpalit na ng HU nila, wala po bang effect sa computer ng nav un? im planning to change mine. at madali lng po ba baklasin ung stock na HU? or tatanggalin buong dash board? TIA...

sir karlitozz, if i may ask, ano details ng suspension lift niyo? (shocks used, change in max load bed capacity, change in height, parts used to lift both front and rear). pinalitan niyo ba yung leaf spring? di ba with a higher shock baka ma banat yung molye? thanks! tska give us an idea how much ang pa-lift ng suspension. thanks uli!

*huggiesxl - see my attachment at Post#205 on page 8, i have a sample pic for removing the HU. The stock HU has no connection to the computer and if ever you decide to replace HU, i suggest you retain the stock wiring including the connector of the OLD HU.- just tap into the wires neatly.

The only non OEM device ive noticed connected to computer or BCM is the alarm - it triggers engine immobilizer whenever active alarm is present. It looks like this http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll219/jatcos/ALM.jpg

*loki_chaos - Sir ur so brave to go that deep..Ako kapag nakita ko na hindi visible ang gutter or 1/2 na ng gulong ng jeep ang tubig, backout nako. Aside from sisirain ang bearings delikado mapasok ang transmission at sensitive sensors sa ilalim. Ginagawa kolang yan sa company vehicle ko, yun tipong umiilaw na lahat sa console mga warning lights at slipped na ang alternator or iba na ang sound ng engine-favorite kodin daanan sa espana,loyola, blumintritt,malabon at yun dinaanan mosa R.Papa..hehe. Problem dito sa manila corrosive ang tubig with all those pollution may kasama pa leptospirosis..nyeee

Re wet carpet - you can remove the sidings, fastened by clips lang yan, all you need is a flat screw-driver (just be carefull not to scratch the paint). Sa na notice ko, sealed ang cabin with all the rubber plugs and thick rubber and polyfoam insulation pero may part sa ilalim na kabitan ng wire namay maliit na butas - i think diyan nag sip in ang water kaya nabasa ilalim ng carpet.. BTW the carpet is rubberized beneath so kung may water spillage hindi dapat mabasa ang ilalim.

Just be careful with the clips like this Yung nasa leftmost at rightmost part na clip ang hirap hanapin nyan at ang mahal sa casa..Yun nasa center nagkalat yan sa banawe common clip sa grille at fender.

Bago mangalikot, kung medyo alangan po na hindi maibalik or baka masira, pagawa nyo po sa nagkakabit ng stereo or sa upholstery shop. IMO last option na lumapit sa casa kasi hindi naman nila manonotice, kung maayos ang pagkakabalik mo. Also check the service manual posted here, it has the complete procedure.
