suspension upgrade for patrol

[boybi]

san ok and mas mura magpa suspension upgrade ng nissan patrol para mabawasan ang tagtag?

[wildthing]

sir,

korek me if I'm wrong po....ang modelong patrol have a car-like ride na kasi SUV class na iyan with independent suspensions....

Kung matagtag yung ride mo, baka po masyadong matigas ang tires mo due to high tire pressure or inflation...may be you can reduce it to the lowest allowed pressure....just make sure its within specs kasi malakas pumudpod ng gulong pag mali ang inflation po.

Further, kung talagang matagtag pa rin, suspensions na po talaga (pero ang alam ko OME na ang suspensions niyan) may be you should replace them with Bilsteins or Rancho's. But check with your casa first kung underwaranty pa iyan, because baka mavoid kung papalitan mo basta-basta or kung papalitan mo at hindi mo sa casa ipapatrabaho.

my 2 cents.

[ARB]

whats the model of your patrol?

i dont think they come from the factory with OME maybe OEM.

[kimpOy]

just play with air pressure muna.
ako nga satisfied na ako sa strada ko eh

[boybi]

i have already set the tire pressure to the lowest allowed pressure. compared to our frontier pickup, mas matagtag pa rin yung pickup. gusto ko lang sanang mas iimprove ng konti yung ride. pag kasi kadadrive ko palang ng crv tapos lumipat ako sa patrol nakakapanibago yung tagtag.

[Ungas]

Malaki po talaga difference ng ride, chassis based kasi ang Safari, not like the crv na monocoque body. Kung gusto nyo po palit kayo ng coils ng Safari nyo, you might wanna try used coil springs para mas malambot. :D

[boybi]

meron ako nabasa na thread dito regarding suspension upgrade for expedition. pwde din kaya yun sa patrol or meron kayang pang patrol?

ang alam ko naman puro front live axles ang patrol, same with the newest model... hindi ba?

[boybi]

ano ba pinagkaiba ng front live axle and independent suspension. naguluhan ata ako dun a. :roll:

[Ungas]

One thing for sure, ang Safari naka coil springs over solid differential both front and rear. Yung Y60 or GQ model has the same underchassis as the new Y61 or GU models. So I may pressume that my coils would fit under your new Safari sir boybi. Di yata binago ng Nissan :?:

[mbt]

matagtag talaga yung patrol kasi mabigat at live-axles front and rear ang suspension... it'll never ride as well as softer expeditions or even cr-vs

diba coils all-around na yung GU patrol? siguro ok palitan ng shocks yan para mag-improve ang ride

[pajerokid]

boybi::: Yung patrol has solid axles front and rear and all four corners are equipped with coils. If you aren't satisfied with the ride, given that you already deflated your tires to the minimum pressure, its time you gave the shocks people a visit. Popular ang Old Man Emu (OME) shocks as well as Ranchos. Yung sakin, OME Nitrochargers nakakabit... malabot talaga and very noticeable ang difference..... well worth the 16thou.





..........and while youre at it, magpakabit ka na rin ng steering damper :D your suspension parts will thank you for it :D

[boybi]

pajerokid, san ka nagpakabit ng OME shocks? meron kaya pang patrol? and para san ba ang steering damper and how much ito?

anong recommended shop nyo na maraming accessories for patrol, like bullbars, fog lamps, etc.?

[ARB]

ano ba model ng patrol mo? if it is the newest model the one with the 3.0 engine then i have a bull bar for you made by ARB. second hand but in perfect condition. Sahara model pa, it is the one that has built in foglamps sa sides, newest model ng bull bar ito ng ARB.

the suspension upgrade will cost you around 43k, 4 shocks, 4 springs, steering damper, and front caster correct bushings. if you want it taller you can add packers in the front. by the way OME ito lahat.

[pajerokid]

boybi:: pare sa Rats 4x4. Sa alabang.

yung newest model patrol. how much are you selling the bullbar?
mahal ata ng 43k suspension upgrade. ano naman yung 16k na pinagawa ni pajerokid? OME din yun diba? laki ata ng diff.

pajerokid, wala ka bang sa bandang manila or QC? layo ng alabang.

[ARB]

the 16k refered to is the shocks only. post mo text mo so that we can negotiate offline about the bullbar. meron RATS sa QC yata sa blue ridge yata

OT

sir ARB, could that ARB Sahara bullbar con bumper be fitted in an older model Safari? Y60 GQ model to be exact. I'm still looking for one that could fit in my service. I like the foglamps that comes with it.

[boybi]

ARB, may PM ako sayo

[ARB]

no it wont fit the older patrol safari series. i think it is only available for the lc100, lc90, patrol (3.0), pajero (new model uniboby) and pathfinder (unibody).

boybi, what is PM?
