Nissan Navara NP300

[ParticleX]

saw this in the brochure of the facelift model so i don't know if you have this feature

my jimny has this so even in 2wd despite having open diffs it could brake the wheel that's losing traction thus sending power to the wheel with traction

this is the brochure of the EL 7AT. it's like a Frontier of yesteryears with an ECU very basic. the higher trims does have the active brake limited slip.

i've driven the jimny and i quite like it. nag inquire ako sa ibang suzuki dealers and nirequire ako to add accessories, around 300k. ayaw din cash, noped out pretty fast. i haven't experienced those shenanigans with any toyota dealer yet - kahit maraming nagrereport na ganun.

ESP/VDC is useful for the quick maneuvers to avoid roll-overs, most modern vehicles are equipped with this as the international markets require this safety feature.

LSD is only available for 4x4 models,

The older coils of D23 allows only around 900kgs, while the newer dual rate is up to 1 ton for the VE 4x2 A/T only-maybe because the MT VE Calibre has a detuned engine?

Kung hindi naman serious off-road, Oks na ang 4x2 like me almost monthly 3k kms highway driving. If trail with loose soil but may gravel, kayang kaya ng 4x2 basta samahan mo ng momentum. Ganoon din sa slippery rut, bsta hindi abrupt ang delivery ng power to the wheels, hindi mag slip.

kaya naman ng momentum and air down, pero there were a few times na i got stuck. i just want my driving to be a little bit easier

Hindi parin pala resolved ang glowplug issue? Get the cheapest analog ohmeter, or the cheapest fluke 101.

ok na kaya yung totally-original na sub-500 Sanwa clones?

The Sunwa brand or any taut-band or pivot-and-jewel mechanism will do. sa Shopee madami, mga digital clone ng fluke like zotek.

Mahina ang aircon ng Jimny then mahal ang pyesa. Yung bagong Jimny paurong ang technology, tinangal ang push-button at binalik yung floor-shift ng front transfer kaya na baduyan ako.

Kaka pa PMS ko lang, doble presyo ng pyesa-ang lube filter dating tig 400-500 and the equivalent Baldwin around P250-300. ngayon ay P1,159. Ganon din ang Hitachi brake pads.

haha these are the best things about the jimny even the a/c controls are mechanical cable actuated (GL variant). these things last forever unlike the push button types with fragile plastic gears on the servo motors also you can switch off RECIRCULATION even when the car is off (to dry off the evap while parked)

same w/ the 4wd shifter. no actuators to malfunction

might even install manual locking hubs in the future. coz i've seen first hand how vacuum systems can fail and leave you without 4wd

[12vdc]

Maybe to each his own habits, pero halos lahat na ng modern 4wd ngayon electronic and these mechatronic controls could last with the life of the vehicle if properly maintained.

Kung siguro nakatira sa bundok no paved roads OK yan manual hubs, pero imagine mo na lang stop ka at baba ng car everytime magbabago ang terrain-hassle, maabutan ka ng zombie sa apocalyse. Kun baga the technology is there for convenience pero bakit paurong ang implementation(just like that door window switches relocated on dash-that's clear as cost saving for the wire harness and door space). Nothing wrong naman sa SN413 Jimny's push button controls, hindi pa nasisira. Aircon lang ang sirain at yung compressor exclusive only for Jimny kaya ubod ng mahal.

Also i don't make it a habit to dry the evap with engine off, imagine the load on the battery by doing that? My habit is to turn-off the compressor a minute before arriving at destination, then let the fan dry the moisture. Hindi na malolobat battery mo, hindi din aksaya sa oras.

BTT: Navara D40 afaik ang nagpasimuno ng push-on the fly 4x4 dial controls, on that era sumunod narin yung Jimny SN413. Sa ngayon yata nag shift na sa motor-driven actuators, phinephase out na ang vacuum pneumatic/hydraulic-assisted like with the case of VGT turbo and electronic parking brakes.

You make a fair point that electronic controls are more practical these days, lalo na kung madalas magpalit ng terrain. At kaya din naman hindi masira yun kung maayos ang maintenance. Though *Vodka also has a valid perspective about the Jimny's simple design being easier to fix if issues come up. I guess it depends on one's needs.

the advantage of the physical 4wd shifter is the user feedback - if the shifter is clunked into position, it works despite what's displayed in the dash.

experience ko with 4wds activated with a dial, nagbblink muna yung dash indicator and hindi kaagad nageengage when i want it.

naka order na ako ng cheapipay na analog multimeter for the glowplugs...

[Vodka]

yeah i didn't elaborate on the physical 4wd lever. yep you're right, if the conditions are not right you cannot shift in/out. with the physical lever you could literally feel if the conditions are right or not. the pushbutton system will just blink with either system you may just have to drive back/forwards a bit. physical lever is simple robust and reliable. pushbutton systems have a lot of electronics, servos, sensors, actuators, etc. physical lever doesn't require a lot of effort to operate especially from 2h to 4h, it's just like shifting from neutral to 2nd gear on an m/t so pushbutton has no benefit except if you're an idiot trying to shift on the fly from 4h to 4L (pushbutton system won't allow it)

i'm fine w/ pushbutton systems as long as there's a benefit e.g. if you're too old and weak to pull a parking brake then an EPB is a good idea

This is normal with vacuum or solenoid operated shifters, the gears must cog into place to engage. May mga terrain mode dials pa nga ngayon that modulate the suspension, brakes, transmission - those features cannot be achieved easily using levers or ubos ang space mo sa dash and floor.

i tested na with an analog multimeter. 3 plugs walang response kahit naka X10K setting. the other one meron pero mataas na resistance. what gives???

i then pulled all the glow plug connectors. nag start naman

may amoy ng unburned diesel and white smoke pag hindi pa mainit yung tsikot. researched online and possible symptoms daw ito ng bad glow plugs.

nagtanong ako sa mga kapitbahay kung may trusted sila mechanic and may nirecommend sila. sinabi ko yung mga steps na ginawa ko and basing sa mga questions niya mukhang maalam naman. pinuntahan ako and tinignan, possible daw injection pump and/or injectors?

what would be your next step? palitan ko muna all four glow plugs, or ipa check sa calibration shop?

When was the last time you replaced the glow plugs?

glow plug resistance should be a few ohms only.
replace them , po?

i am confused, over the second statement.

[ParticleX]

When was the last time you replaced the glow plugs?

I never had to replace the glow plugs yet for any of the diesel vehicles we owned. Sa gas-powered vehicles you can clean the spark plugs, and replace lang if necessary.

I pulled all the glow plug connectors, meaning hindi gagana yung glow plugs at all - pero nag start pa din one click

yup.
instead of glow plugs, gasoline engines have sparking plugs.
cleaning and adjusting sparking plugs was a routine thing, back in the day. spark plug brush and gapping tool were easily-purchased must-haves, for the serious car nut.
mas mahal ang sparking plugs dati, kasi.

even without the aid of glow plugs,
if the engine is hot enough, some diesel engines will start if cranked or push-started. all that was necessary was the fuel-air mixture and the high compression pressure.

so yes,
with very hi resistance, i think them glow plugs have to be replaced.
but as the engine started without their aid,
my guess is, there's nothing else wrong with the engine.

good luck.

Sa malamig na lugar mag hard starting yan, it means din na maganda ang compression kaya nag start. Pwede mo i-test yung relay by connecting a test light or volt meter sa output wire-yun naka kabit sa bus bar ng glowplug. Kung sigurado ka na glowplug, palitan mo na and clear the error code.

around 60K...

actually kumatok (fuel knock??) recently pumunta ako ng north nawala ng uminit yung engine.

rated for 4.5V yung glow plugs, i guess yun din dapat ang expected voltage ko at the connectors?

[12vdc]

Normal yun knock when cold. Ang purpose ng glowplug is to heat the combustion chamber during cold star, the knock will go away after the engine reached the operating temp. Some glowplugs remain ON after startup to hasten reaching optemp.

You can measure output V of the relay when glowplug is connected or not, i suggest you do both for comparison. Ang importante may output yung relay to drive the heater. If no output, simulate mo by energising yun input ng relay coils-elimination method lang. Yung initial checking mo na "open" or hi-resistance ang plugs is enough, dapat kasi full-short yan heater just like any heating element.

The low V rating is also normal to cope with voltage drop during hi-current draw then sabay pa ng starter motor. The starter motor is likewise rated at low Voltage. Madami sa Shopee replacement plugs - get the Beru/BorgWarner or the generic Bosch, ND, NGK. Madami yan sa autosupply since the part is generic for the Y-series engine, YD25 is widely used pang UV express.

Glow plugs could already be due for replacement. You found a set of 4 for 3,200, right? It might be worth the gamble.

Is this YD25 the same diesel engine used in the 2023 Terra?
Yun bang parang kinakapos sa akyatan and ayaw mag downshift kailangan pang mag manual mode, normal ba yan sa YD25?

Normal sa YD25, pangit yung gearing ng 7AT. Then peak torque is reached at 2000RPM pa compared to the 1GD or the 4JJ3 at 1600RPM, so you have to push it more. Blocking the EGR netted some improvement for me.

Even with the 163HP version, kaya ko pa rin sumabay sa akyatan nung may sinusundan akong hataw na Everest 3.2L up Ifugao
