The Nissan Frontier Thread

[ARB]

about the longer shackles being sold by sa mga auto supply. As cuation on this lang. If you notice ang design ng shackle ay two flat bars with holes and two bolts lang. Compare mo to the OEM shackles one part of the flat bar the two bolts are welded or stationary, and the bolt has a stopper. The idea here is that you can tighten it all the way the bushings will not get crushed, the suspension is still free to work. With the generic shackle it does not have a stopper so the tendency is you over tighten the bolts, crushing your bushings, premature wear, harder ride since the shackle cannot work properly. unless you transfer the OEM bolt from the OEM shackle to the generic shackle then it might solve the problem.

yes you can transfer the axle below the leaf pack or SPOA, but there will be a lot of things to do and you will have a hard time in the front lifting it to achieve the same height as the rear.

mga sir salamat sa frontier thread,

may nabili akong(OFW Dubai) 2ndhand frontier 4x2 99' sa pinas sabi ng Mrs ko
nagwiggle daw body kapag speed is 60km/hr up, sabi mechanic suspension arm
ass. daw pinapalitan ng brand new suspension arm assebly sa harap 2 set cost
13K+(ok presyo incl kabit d kaya overpriced?) medyo ok na yung takbo kayalang d
pa talagang gaanong kaderetso yung takbo. ano pa kaya ang prob sa wheel
alignment kaya? maganda ba lagyan roll bar frontier saan kaya ako makabili. pls help.

dito sa Dubai marami akong nakikita na cone air filter tulad ng nsa upploaded picture
magkano kaya sa atin para kumpara ko dito baka mura dito.

nagsasawa ako sa tingin dito ng mga nissan Armada at Patrol karamihan V6&8
ang walang frontier dito, pero maraming parang thesame model at itsura sa frontier subalit hindi frontier ang pangalan at for construction lang, abused nga sa paggamit
ang pickup dito kaya nakikita ko na talagang subok na talaga ang kakayahan
ng frontier sa mga heavy payloading kaya nagpasya ako na bumili ng frontier
para magamit ko sa farm. dito ko din ako nakakitang Nissan Hardbody for construction
purpose only ang mga pickup dito d katulad sa pinas na pangpamilya/sports/office.

kasi naman ang gamit ng mga local(arabo) ay mga SUV
ARmada/Patrol/Prado/Expe/Durango (GMC/BMW/Merc/Land rover/Hammer) karamihan V6&8 3.8L/4.8L/5L

sir, at 60kph merun din possibility na ang gulong ay hindi balance...ipacheck nyo for wheel balancing before the P13k replacement ng suspension arm assembly...pero merun ako doubt baka niloloko lang kayo ng mechanic....

Try to PM Speedyfix dito rin sa board ng tsikot, merun siyang talyer sa somewhere in MMla. Baka mas maganda diagnosis niya...better still sa casa ng nissan mo ipaayos (gumastos ka man ng mahal, sulit).

As per arabo na parts..the cone filters range from 2000 to 5000 filters pa lang. K&N na brand na siguro ang pinakamahal. Check the brands present in Dubai.

Try to go to salvage/junk yards sa Dubai, look for a turbo intercooler set-up para sa TD27 na engine, kung junk value or free baka pede mong ipadala dito at maconvert na turbo intercooled ang frontier mo.

I have seen a lot dito ng intercooler turbo set-up for TD27 puro galing ng Pathfinder.

Dubai ng turbo intercooler at alamin ko din ang presyo ng conefilter dito.

here is the photo of my former frontier 4x4 when i was putting it up for sale circa 2004:



it had a trailmaster 3" body lift kit installed then. it also had ome nitrochargers on all corners and ome leafsprings. there was also a finer fiter in the airbox (but it was a bitch to clean).

Nice Frontier diesoline.

[wildthing]

Saan ka bumili ng trailmaster body lift kit?

[Lemon]

Welcome 6by6!

I had my headlights cleaned at Big Bert's today. Looks new again. This is the best 500pesos I've spent in a while.
