Nissan Patrol GU/Y61 Thread

[bilog]

what are other things to look out for? especially if the patrol ran over 100k?

[boybi]

check mo yung mga stabilizer bars and bushings, the fan belt, ok pa ba mga tires? yan lang naiisip ko since sinabi mo naman na maalaga sa car yung owner.

[bilog]

boybi, thanks! he already told me that the tires need to be replaced.

[boybi]

ask mo din pala kung nagpalinis na sya ng intercooler, kapag hindi pa, baka nagkaka putik na sa loob ng intercooler.

bro -- check mo rin itong website: http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/f10-g...an-patrol.html

maraming trolls dito na over 100K na and they can also tell you what to look out for

[wildthing]

mga bosing wala akong patrol pero yung boss ko meron...2004 A/T 4x4...okay ba na pang off-road ang A/T kaysa manual tranny?

on other side of tips and tricks:

Kung nalalakihan kayo sa turning radius ng GU Patrol nyo, try removing the bolt stopper that stops the turning of the wheels nyo and see the great improvement in turning (liliit and turning circle dramatically) and sa stock wheels wala ring rubbing sa wheel wells...ewan ko lang pag naka 285/70R16 na ang gulong kasi that is a 33" diameter tire na...we have tried this na sa Patrol ng bossing ko and works like magic.

Here's the 2001 Patrol that i am interested in.
it ran 102k and the owner replaced the turbo parts of the intercooler and the aircon ditioning system except for the compressor. He have it checked and was told that it is still in good condition. the asking price is 1M but i think i can still pull it lower. WHat you think guys?

bro -- okay yang tip ah. what i did naman was to put a rubber cap on the bolt to lessen the metal to metal rubbing. its the same rubber cap used in the frontier.

but removing the bolt seems to make more sense

mga troll guru, okay lang ba ito? the bolt must have been placed there for a reason so is it okay to remove it?

[PROTREK]

I did this to my patrol. Pero medyo alalay lang ako in overturning the steering wheel. The bolts served as steering stops. Now that it is gone, yung mga 33inchers ko na yung steering stop ko sa radius arms hehehe

It protects the birfields from too much angles when using 4wd. Not advisable also to those 2wd Patrols since the front diffs are engaged all the time the birfields will wear out faster.

[wildthing]

sir anu po yung birfields?

[ARB]

they are the joints near the end of the diffs, where the knuckle turns. when you turn you can see may round thing na shiny, inside is the birfs, they look like the CV joints of FWD cars only bigger.

[odell]

sinu dito un new model narin?.. kasi un automatic tunnel sensor ko bigla na lang nawala.. baka meron narin nagkaprov dito..

[boybi]

ano yung automatic tunnel sensor? saan ito nakakabit at para saan yan?

[Boy Torotot]

kita ko yan sa brochure ng bagong patrol, automatic yata nag-iilaw headlights mo pag na-'sense' ng sasakyan na nasa tunnel ka.

yup, basta medyo dumilim automatic ON yung headlights.

[wildthing]

yun sensor na sa dashboard sa sides...odell baka nai-off yung tunnel sensor switch mo...icheck mo sa manual saan yung over-ride switch na yun.

[111prez]

anong model ng mga trolls mayroon nito?

baka mga GU III and up lang ang may tunnel sensor?

wala ata sa akin and its a GU II
