Nissan Patrol GU/Y61 Thread

[boybi]

salamat guys sa inyong mga info ha, pasensya na kasi bagong register lang ako dito e, di ko pa alam ung mga dating threads.

maliwanag na sa akin ngayon, thanks talaga guys

111prez - bro A/T din ba ung nabili mong patrol? kamusta naman ok ba, pangit ba talaga mag automatic sa patrol ang alam ko diba iba ung gear ratio kasi pag A/T ung 1st gear nya ata parang nasa pagitan ng 1st and 2nd gear ratio ng M/T
. ibig sabihin ba nun pag akyatan medyo mahina kahit 1st gear pag A/T?

actually may nakita na kaming 2003 presidential ata 1.450 M pero pwede pa atang tawaran tapos 30+ TKms plang natakbo, tapos wala pang 2 years kasi december 2003 na acguire nung may-ari , kaya lang A/T at 4x2 e, ano sa tingin nyo guys is it worth buying ba?

i don't see anything wrong with the A/T if it's in good condition. i've driven the A/T patrol (mine's a M/T) and it drives a little bit faster in 1st gear. and like what Boy Torotot said, you don't buy the patrol for its speed. and with the A/T variant, you get leather seats and power front seats.

[tebs]

yup, a/t gets you the leather and power seats. masarap naman idrive ang patrol na a/t. well, i really haven't got to drive a manual patrol.

as for the a/t, pag yun ang kinuha nyo, pacheck mo agad ang a/t fluid, just to make sure it is still in good condition. all fluids should be changed at 40,000kms. but you can change it when you get yours even if it is not yet at 40k. (this is to give your tranny a longer life)

[OTEP]

Ingat lang sa papeles, daming nakaw na Patrol.

[skylineGTR]

all brand new parts and labor/installation included. though the front hubs are the AVM manual hubs and not the hybrid oem hubs.

bro ano ba ibig sabihin ng AVM manual hubs and hybrid oem hubs, ano ba difference nung dalawa? and saan shop ka nagpaconvert?

ah ganun ba, ok lang din ba i pang off road o kaya sa mga sobrang tarik na inclines pag A/T hindi ba nacocompromise ung power unlike sa M/T because of the gearing ratio?

about dun sa nabasa ko na meron atang nagkakaproblema sa turbo ba un dahil may ilang units na parang may problem paglabas sa factory but binenta na rin ng nissan, hindi masyadong accurate ung naalala ko but anyway ano ba pwedeng gawin para matiyak ko na ok talaga ung unit na binebenta? any suggestions

oo nga e nakita ko nga power seats ung sa harap, 6 way ba un, so wala pala sa manual variant un. ok medyo napapanatag na ako sa A/T. wla pa kasi kaming A/T na sasakyan e kaya mas familiar ako sa manual kaya na concern lng ako, pag pinacheck pala pwede na ba un sa casa. alam ko kasi nasa warranty pa kasi wla pang 3 years ung unit.


OTEP- tama ka nga kasi marami na akong naririnig na patrol na kung di nacarnap , nacarjack e. cheap ba ang 1.450 M or mahal for a 2003 patrol president series (not sure what it is called correct me nalang if its wrong).

[111prez]

ako bro galing rin ako sa pure M/T system (samurai, vitara, pajero gen 2, LC VX, patrol safari). i had to do some adjustment also

so far, i like the A/T system of the patrol. it shifts to the upper gears quite quickly (at 2000 rpm) and its a real ease to drive in manila. may M/T pa kami (starex) at sumasakit na ang paa ko pag nag drive ako sa manila traffic

tama si sir Boy Torotot, you dont buy an SUV for speed although it can hold its own against some vehicles. but street racing a patrol? off road na lang, hehehehe

[skylineGTR]

hehe tama ka nga dyan bro , mahirap na talaga mag manual pag sobrang traffic ako nga minsan naninigas na ung left foot ko sa clutch e, hehe

bro pwede ka ba i pm? basta pag nangailangan ako ng mga tips sa patrol ok lng ba pm kita, marami pa kasi ako kailangan malaman sa patrol e

btw, nakita ko na ung patrol mo dun sa gu/y61 thread, ang ganda na nung ginawa mo, hehe , kakaingit nga e..

bro - walang problema. you can PM me anytime. kaya nga nandito tayo sa tsikot para makatulong, at himingi rin ng tulong, sa ating kapwa tsikoteers

yung troll ko sa pic bro wala pa yun. after i took that pic, i also changed all my coil springs to OME at tumaas pa lalo ang patrol, hehehehe

the nice thing is that my fuel economy did not suffer. i am getting about 7km/L now on pure city and conservative driving with overinflated tires (o baka underinflated lang talaga ako noon)

bro - salamat ha, and nakakatouch naman ung sinabi mo

ah ganun ba wow ok un ah, meron ka ba pics ngaun , baka naman pwede mo ipost dito para makita ko.

ano nga pala ung OME diba brand un, nabasa ko na un dati nalimutan ko lang, tsaka bro ano rin pala ung AVM manual hubs and hybrid oem hubs (namentioned to ni boybi sa previous reply nya e).

diba sabi mo nakaka 7Km/L ka with overinflated tires , parang pwede na, nakakalakas ba ng fuel consumption pag overinflated or underinflated ang tires
, parang may nabasa din ako sa ibang thread na nakaka 10Km/L daw sa city ang patrol, nareach mo ba 10Km/L dati o hindi lang accurate ung nabasa kong figures?

[OTEP]

OME-Old Man Emu. Australian brand ng suspension components. They are known for their shocks and springs.

Manual Hubs (these are Warn Hubs, AVM hubs look similar):

With these hubs, you need to get out of the vehicle and turn them in order to engage the front axles and have front drive. To disengage, you just turn the knob back to the FREE position.

Nissan Patrol OEM Hybrid hubs:

You just shift into 4H or 4L and the hubs will automatically lock and engage front drive just like your usualy auto freewheel hubs. Nissan hubs are hybrid because despite functioning like auto hubs, you have the option to manually lock them by using your lugwrench and turning the center nut towards the LOCK position. This eliminates inadvertent disengagements associated with auto freewheel hubs (e.g. when rocking the vehicle back and forth).

bro -- tama si sir OTEP. OME is old man emu. i got mine at rats 4x4 makati

as for the 10km/l, possibly siguro but mostly highway driving yan. my driving is 100% city and all short distances pa, i.e. between a 5 to 10 km radius only. i hardly get into the higher gears at panay stop and go pa. the overinflated tires helped a lot. dati, i stuck to 35 psi pero napansin ko parang kulang sa inflation.

[larshell]

May nag-pa 4x4 naba ng patrol dito yong dating 4x2?

[Boy Torotot]

si boybi yata..

[boybi]

i had my 4x2 gu patrol converted (or actually, reverted back, nissan philippines just removed some parts used for 4wd) to 4x4. i used the kit from Hummer Philippines.

[111prez]

by the way prez, ok ba yong conoco engine oil na nilagay sa patrol mo...sa tingin mo ba aabot sya ng 10,000 kms before next oil change? shell helix nilagay dun sa akin, i think due na ko for oil change, after around 3-1/2 months(almost 3,000kms) kasi medyo umiitim na usok ng patrol ko.

bro -- okay yun. medyo expensive lang compared to the ordinary oil but mas matagal naman ang change oil cycle mo

so far, wala pang usok ang patrol ko and its been 6,000 km since my last oil change

Sir, Ok ba? How much ang gastos? gano katagal ang trabaho?Auto hublock ba ang gamit mo?Pwede ba shift on the fly?Ang dami ko tanong cencya na sir

[skylineGTR]

ah un pla un, got it! thanks a lot malaking tulong talaga kau sa mga taong uninformed gaya ko hehe

edi pag magpapa 4wd conversion pala kami, mas maganda ba pag ung hybrid oem hubs ang gamitin rather than ung manual hubs?

OTEP - pag auto hubs ba nagdidisengage pag nag back and forth ka? un ba ung ibig mong sabihin sa sinabi mo?

yun bang nasa pajero na front hubs, auto ba un o hybrid kasi so far un palang ang naexperience ko na 4x4

111prez - ung sa pajero kasi namin laging 40 psi lang e, overinflated o underinflated ba un? nakakabawas ba sa fuel consumption pag overinflated?
magkano din pala total nagastos mo sa ome shocks and springs, lalo bang gumanda ung ride? meron din bang shocks na naaadjust ung softness tsaka hardness nung shocks sa loob ng cabin kasi ung mga pajero na field master meron atang ganun diba?

thanks ulit ha sa walang sawang pagsagot nyo sa mga kagaya kong newbie hehe

[mazdamazda]

merging this thread with the patrol GU thread tomorrow.

[KCboy]

40 psi is too much. the most should be 35 psi but i keep mine at 30psi.
