Here's a pic of my ride, taken yesterday at Paseo de Sta.Rosa :

will try the picture upload. la pa lang ako time.
ganda nung air filter ah. parang gusto ko magpalagay.
hehehe.
18 na lenso yung kinabit ko. hindi na nga lang chrome kasi 18 lang naman.
mahirap kasi pag 20. minsan may karga ako na mga engines and differentials.

vinj
may nakita ka na kabit nung pang esi na simota.
try ko din pala yun. mukhang ok din eh.

yep. compressor daw talaga sira. nung dinala ko nga sa umc, alam na agad nila eh.
buti na lang meron pa silang stock, kasi kung nagkataon, maghintay ako ng new batch ng supplies nila.

109
wala na ata eh. puro 2ndhand na nakikita ko.

gusto ko sana lagay HID both sa headlight and foglight area, kaso sobra mahal naman.
ok kaya yun?

kung 3 out of 4 sa 2003 ang meron problem sa compressor before reaching 2 years old baka ng factory defect yun...

Sayang nga yugn 2003 models wala ng ung heater ng A/C system....

BTW 109 kung type mo low priced you can always get a Frontier Standard...upgrade mo na lang tires to 15" rims...eto na pinaka mura na presyo....yung friend ko na ahente ng Nissan Balintawak gives me out a P40,000 discount whenever we buy a pick up from him (para sa office)...

Sa standard ang amenities lang naman na nawala ay yung power windows, lock, sideview mirrors and antenna...all of which pede naman mong mai-upgrade latter on (marami na rin sa Capalanga nun by this time).

I'm using a '99 4wd Frontier and the only "mod" I did was to install a roof rack and change the rims...

san ba nakakabili nung plastic thing (di ko alam tawag) dun sa may tip ng hood ng truck mo, lemon? how much kaya yun and ano function nun?

also, san pwede kaya pakabit nung window visors? how much kaya?

I'm thinking of taking out my truck's tail gate and installing the stretchable net/mesh instead... also, I'm scouting around for a hook so I can haul trailers (my truck has its hook at the right side and medyo mahirap humatak ng trailer using this)... when I install the hook, I'll have to replace my rear bumpers (with tubular types na ginamit sa power eagle) kasi it'll get in the way...

hehe wish list ko lang, la din naman ako budget kaya paisa-isa lang siguro bili ko hehehe...

by the way, ang ayaw ko sa truck ko, at napansin ko na din sa mga frontier ng mga barkada ko, ay maingay pagkinabig... may sound na parang bakal sa bakal...

**Lemon** · November 15th, 2005 11:44 AM

Nice 4X4 Nigo.

Jappy, just let me know kung kailangan mo ng tulong sa pag post ng pics.

Leroy Brown, post ka din pics kung meron.

Bug Deflector / Hood Shield un tawag dun. Imbes na sa windshield mo tumama un mga insecto & other debris, dinedeflect ng Hood shield ung mga un papuntang roof ng sasakyan. 2K yata bili ko dun, EGR un brand. Sa GINZA Banawe ko binili. Ikot ka lang Banawe, dami nag-titinda ng bug deflector & window visors dun.

Regarding dun sa sound na parang bakal sa bakal pag-kinabig, have your bushings check. Sigurado sira na un bushing mo. Kapapalit ko lang a month ago, medyo mabilis nga masira. Pati un sa rear bushing ko kailangan na din palitan.

Lemon, I buy my Philips bulbs from one of those car shops in Malugay St (can't remember the name now); meron din sa Hans Tools Shangri-la. On the fog lights, i'm using those Hella lamps but i'm not too happy with the beam dispersal so i'll be switching to Bosch lamps later on (nasira na rin yung connection ng isa due to moisture). On the switch, i got it from Banawe at surplus shop, fits directly on the switch holes below the mirror switches. You just have to sort through the baskets of switches sa mga surplus shop and look for one with the perfect fit.

Larshell, mas maingay yung may filter as compared with that on a gas engine. It's also partly due to the tube design (just one big tube with no resonance).

Jappy, i tried it already on my Frontier before but i have removed it already and sold the filter since i didnt like the noise.

DOes the sound pag kabig come from the front during a full turn? Especially when you're going up a curb? Check the stopper bushing (its a small plastic cap right behind the wheel/suspension when doing a full lock turn).Other usual culprits would be the rear leafspring bushings or the molye (adding lubricant helps).

**Leroy Brown** · November 15th, 2005 01:49 PM

vinj,

yun nga problema hehe dali kasi masira nun, every 6 months ata ang palit...

ano nga pala purpose ng pagpalit mo ng filter? more power? more economy?

**vinj** · November 15th, 2005 05:19 PM

I've changed mine twice, the first one was with a replacement and it didnt last long. I put in original and so far so good for over a year na (i dunno if my larger tires have anything to do with it).

The free-flowing filter can help improve the power; economy, it depends still on the driving style but it can help in some cases. I'm happy with the stock though, just have to clean it every 5,000kms and replace every 20,000kms (malaking bagay sa diesel and malinis na filter).

**Lemon** · November 15th, 2005 06:49 PM

Vinj, madali ba makahanap sa mga auto supply ng bosch na foglights? Sir pagnakabili na kayo Bosch, kunin ko din un store na pinagbilan nyo. Pag-nagpalit ba ako ng Philips bulbs, kailangan ko din mag-upgrade ng wiring?

Another Q, gaano kaingay ba un makina pag nag-conetype airfilter? Parang tunog jeepney ba?

Sorry sir, dami ko tanong, medyo excited na kasi ako, malapit na ang BONUS.
