Nissan Urvan Escapade 2.7

[OTEP]

The radiator might need an overhaul muna vinj. Madami nang deposits. Stopgap measure muna siguro pag alis ng thermo since it just sits there on top of the engine. Alam mo naman ang cash flow sa fleet units, madaming red tape crap minsan. Hehe.

The cap might need to go na din. But its an inexpensive item.

[vinj]

Try mo rin Lavramon kung kaya. For the meantime, bugahan niyo rin ng water yung radiator para matanggal yung alikabok. Check also the fan if its running well under load.

On the radiator cap, get OEM if kaya. Hwag din yung Circuit brand, tried it on my Altis and it didnt work well for long; got a Denso OEM cap for P250 at Toyorama and all was okay.

[OTEP]

Dont know what the oem brand is but if Denso is 250 then its probably considered an upgrade already. Hehe

[vinj]

AFAIK, Calsonic yung radiator cap ng Nissan. Try mo mag inquire kay Youngbros. 1.1 din ata yung rating pag sa Urvan.

good day to all^^

kwento ko lang po,

sumakay ako ng urvan uv express mula lipa batangas to dasma cavite, 19 kaming sakay kasama po driver at may mga bagahe pa kaming mga pasahero. may mga nagsasabi po na underpowered itong urvan pero napansin ko na ok naman sya, 100 kph sa slex kahit punong puno ng sakay ang van at ok naman sa kanya ang mga pataas na part sa carmona.

[OTEP]

When we used to to respond in an emergency along NLEX, its like driving a brick with a parachute attached to it.

110kph lang top speed niya. 120kph kapag pababa ang daan. Acceleration was modest at best.

Pero for regular use, ok naman siya.

[kapitan88]

i remember 1 time riding yung gt express from kawit to makati, naghahabulan yung 2 van, dun sa sky way, umabot kami ng 160, nagpatay si mamang driver ng a/c, pero puno ng pasahero yung urvan nya., It was really scary. mga og*gs yung mga yun.

[KIANTOT]

Ok naman siya pag talagang nakabwelo, yung 160 kmh na yun siguradong naka floor all the way yung pedal

[OTEP]

The lightbar on the roof must be really slowing me down. Bago lahat ng filters at fluids nung unit. Kaka-maintenance lang. Wala talaga hanggang 120kph lang. Inuunahan na ko ng non-emergency units on the NLEX.

[van lover]

bakit po ba mas malakas yung hiace na luma kesa sa urvan kahit na 2.4 vs 2.7? hiace 2.4 po nasakyan ko nung papunta akong alabang kahapon at nasa pinakadulo ako, sabi po ng iba matagtag ang hiace pero mukang ok naman or dahil puno lang po ng sakay? sorry po kung napasingit ang hiace sa thread na to

[van lover]

sir OTEP


kung kayo po ay naka 120 at inuunahan kayo ng ibang sasakyan na hindi naman pang emergency, diba po 100 po ang limit sa mga expressways ngayon?

[OTEP]

Siyempre sir may hindi pa din sumusunod dun. Stock tires naman kami so I guess hindi sobrang far off ng accuracy ng speedometer.

Grand Starex inunahan ako na parang nakahinto lang kami. Pinadaan ko naman, hindi ako nagbababad sa overtaking lane kahit lights and siren ang takbo.

[vinj]

Mukhang the lightbar of your Urvan Ambulance is really putting drag. Lagyan mo ng clear, aerodynamic na plexiglass farings? Top speed however isn't much of an issue i guess but you will need overtaking/pulling power more than anything else. Tama ba?

May mga Shuttle driver na sira ulo talaga; nakakasabay ko yung mga yan every morning and some of them really dont give regard to the safety of their passengers.

[van lover]

follow up ko lang po yung tanong ko na
bakit mas malakas humatak ang hiace 2.4 kesa sa urvan 2.7? thanks
sabagay marami pa rin nga po makulit sa speed limit, minsan naka 100 kami sa besta sa slex may mga mabilis pa rin umovertake.

[KIANTOT]

follow up ko lang po yung tanong ko na
bakit mas malakas humatak ang hiace 2.4 kesa sa urvan 2.7? thanks

Low speed kase yung Hiace 2.4, mas lamang naman sa rektahan ang urvan 2.7

[van lover]

mas maliliit po ba gears ng urvan 2.7 kesa hiace 2.4?

[likot]

Kakachange oil ko lang. Valvoline All-Fleet® Plus Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40
May nakagamit na ba sa inyo nito? Walang Mobil Delvac kaya ito nabili ko.

[likot]

Balak ko palitan side mirror ng escapade namin. Kasi sobrang ikli di ba kayo nahihirapan. Kasya kaya dito yung pang Adventure GLX? ano pa kaya pwedeng alternative. Mga magkano ba sidemirror ng Adventure sa surplus shop sa Banawe?

[OTEP]

Ang alam kong may chance magkasya ay yung sa nissan safari at vanette. Actually same ang side mirror ng dalawang yun. May nakita na din akong pang nissan patrol 2001 ang nakalagay. Ewan ko po if may mods pa na ginawa.

May lower profile lightbars na. Pero wala pa kami budget. Hehe. Top speed becomes an issue sa open road siguro. Siguro makatakbo lang ng 140 sa rekta ok na. Mga ganun din top end ng ford ambulances. Actually, im not too happy with acceleration also compared with my usual mb100 and the ocassional hiace they trust me with. But beggars cant be choosers. And at least reliable.

Has anyone noticed that the urvan has two coolant radiators? I just found out last saturday when jorge overhauled both radiators on the urvan ambulance.
