Nissan Patrol GU/Y61 Thread

[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).

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?

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.

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

si boybi yata..

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.

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

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

merging this thread with the patrol GU thread tomorrow.

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