I also saw the turbo 2.7L engine in a surplus shop before... tempting.

Guys, around hw long did your pads last before needing a change? Mine was able to reach around 60,000kms (just a few months ago) before needing the first pad change in 5 years. I noticed though that the brakes of the 4x2 are pretty puny (the disks are actually covered by the wheel center hubs) but i find the braking still relatively okay for the daily chores but is till have to resort to engine braking when i need it... usually causing my rear tires to spin a bit before finding traction. I'm happier now with the brakes when i upgraded to Bendix Metal King pads.

I had my 1st brake pad change in 5years last May, around 90K+ on my odometer. Pina-refaced ko din un disc.

wildthing, lemon, i bought the trailmaster lift kit sometime in 2002. if my memory serves me right, it was about php16K installation included. the lift kit included, among others, a steering column. the better so that wala nang dugtong-dugtong. btw, i got it from jeff's offroad in baguio city. you can click on this link to his page on tsikot.net.

my frontier was subsequently treated by its new owner to a suspension lift done by the same shop. i think its photos are there too.

pano mag adjust ng headlights sa 2000 model? salamats!

**diesoline** · November 29th, 2005 10:20 AM

there are adjusting screws (philips) behind the lens assembly. park in front of a light-colored wall and adjust the headlights accordingly. btw, don't angle the driver's side headlight high beam too much to the left -- kawawa mga oncoming vehicles -- and dip it bit lower than the right.

Nice detailed pics quiksie. Meron ba nabibili na "No Drill" na roof rails?

Nasa shop ngayon un ride ko, nirepair un bed. Nagkaroon ng rust formation dun sa sealant na nakalagay sa bed. Eto un part na connecting the vertical part ng panel and the bed part ng wheel well. Nun binakbak un sealant, halos buong area na meron sealant meron ng rust, buti na lang surface rust lang tapos walang primer na nakalagay. Ganon ba talaga beds ng Nissan? Direct paint agad? I suggest dun sa mag with drop-in bedliner, tangaling nyo muna para ma-check nyo un bed.
