to the experts...is it true that OME coils are slightly higher (or longer) on the driver side? both front and back?

worth it pa ba bumili ng patrol? my parents are planning to buy one. 2.3M

hindi na worth if you're buying brand new. apektado na kasi ang resale value ng mga current patrols dun sa mga first releases. ( 2.3M vs 1.6M) kaya kung dumating ang panahon na ibebenta nyo na ang patrol, malaki ang lugi nyo.

Guys with GU patrols, you definitely need to clean your MAF sensors. At 59k km odo reading currently, I just cleaned mine the other night using lots of contact cleaner spray. Lo and behold, tremendous improvement in engine response, acceleration, and top-end speed. Its like night and day! Before I cleaned it, sluggish talaga ng acceleration ng patrol namin and kahit sa skyway, 120kph lang maximum speed ko. I thought it was due to my 305/75 tires already. Pero after the cleaning, I can hit 160-170 with ease, even more. Acceleration is very good and responsive na. And to think that all this time we had to contend with poor performance for the last 4 months since we got it.

Yup... i usually advise this to the N16 Sentra Grandeur owners... the MAF on some engine models can really be sensitive. Usually, try to clean it anywhere between 10K to 20K kms depending on the driving/dust conditions you encounter.

Hey guys! Busted na yong isang (low-beam) bulb ng headlights ko and i'm planning to replace it asap. Question is, are there brighter bulbs than the stock(H4 ba yon?, don't know the wattage) that is just 'plug and play'? Yong sasalpak na lang na wala na kailangang electrical-related adjustments na gagawin? Kindly recommend a good one at kung saan available, i might as well replace the pair of headlight bulbs, kung meron mas maliwanag.

thanks!

saan yung MAF sensors na yan located?

**ARB** · January 6th, 2007 07:50 AM

boy, may plug and play na harness. you have to install the wiring harness if you want to upgrade to higher wattage bulbs to prevent damage to the original wirings.
