Nissan Vanette [Merged threads]

[tobe]

*buraot, oo pwedeng pwede yung LD20T na engine. di ko alam kung bakit mahal na pala ngayon..siguro baka kasi marami nang gusto magpapalit ng diesel ngayon. complete set yung tinanungan ko dati di na nila paghihiwalayin yung trany sa engine. di mo rin magagamit yung abang sa 4WD kung di ka magpapalit ng front I-beam. bilihan lang yun pinagtanungan namin di ko alam kung pede sila mag install, presyo lang yun ng makina. sa pinsan ko sa bicol di ko alam labor nila, di ko natanong e. sa speedo walang ibang papalitan, baklas, linis, balik lang. yung cable di ko na natry baklasin at linisin.
*tobe, san mo natanong yung 35k? halos doble na pala. sa imus yung sinasabi kong bilihan ng mga surplus.

sa sophia tsaka sa banawe same price lang din.

Bro.,- medyo nalito lang ako, I think you meant that you were using Shell E10 before you converted to LPG, right?

If the carburetor'ed Vanette can run with Shell E10, well and good for all of us here. I just want to be on the safe side as I understand that E10 is recommended on fuel-injected vehicles... We can always check with the manufacturer, though.

Ah, you didn't know that when you add LPG-kit to gas engines, you can still use gas. There's a switch if you want to use LPG or gas.
Now that E10 is more widely available, you can now see for yourself that a Vanette can use E10.

Hows the LPG of your Vanette doing. What kind of system are you running? IMO, that is a very good route to address the fuel prices and imminent all fuels being E10 issue. The Vanette has more then enough space to take in either a cylinder tank in the trunk (and it will improve the ride with the added weight) or a toroidal tank in the spare tire area. What matters really is to go to a good/recommended installer.

I've been using LPG on my Altis for well over a year already.

Has anyone tried using gas shocks in their Vanette then inverting the rear helper spring (the lowest leaf spring "molye")? I did this on my Nissan Frontier before and it did wonders to the ride quality.

Na-Ondoy ang Vanette ko. Lubog buong van hanggang bubong.
Pero after major cleaning and minor repair plus tuneup in gas and tuneup in LPG, ok na po ulit lahat.
Again, my Vanette has no issue with E10 ever since. Mula pa nag-start ang E10 sa Shell, I've been using that na kasi may Shell na malapit dito sa amin.
Nilagay yun torroidal tank sa loob mismo ng van, sa ilalim ng upuan sa gitna. Medyo makapal yun tank, so tinaas ng konti yun upuan, mga 1 inch yun dinagdag na bakal, sila na nagwelding.
My kids are sitting directly on top of the tank. I have no worries. It is super safe, and in some circumstances, LPG is safer than gas. Read the LPG thread here.
No, I haven't tried gas shocks.

Malakas po ba talaga sa gas ang vanette? Yung ganitong model ano po usual na problema?

Yes, this is very true. Malakas talaga sa gas ang vanette. Pero ito ang tanong ko sa yo, meron bang van na gas na hindi malakas sa gas? Wala! Lahat yan malakas sa gas! In that case, the Vanette is not inferior in terms of gas consumption when compared to other gas vans.
Wag mo i-compare sa mga diesel van, ibang usapan yun syempre.

Agree ako rito. Walang van na gasolina na hindi malakas sa gas.....

Ganito lang ang computation diyan....

Walo(8) kayong magbibiyahe. Ang total distance ng biyahe ay 500Km...

Kung kotse ang sasakyan mo, dalawang kotse ang ida-drive ninyo... Let's assume na 8Km/L ang konsumo ng bawat kotse... So, bawat kotse ay umubos ng 500/8=62.5L ng gasolina... So, total sa 2 kotse = 125L..

Now, kasya ang 8 sa Vanette. Let's assume na 6Km/L ang konsumo ng van....So, total na konsumo ay 500/6=83L...

It is obvious na mas malaki ang gastos kung 2 kotse ang gagamitin....

Tapos, kung van,- lahat kayo, puwedeng magkuwentuhan... Kung 2 kotse, 2 grupo ang kuwentuhan,- hindi maganda, di ba?

I-add mo pa ang maintenance ng 2 sasakyan vs. 1.... Van is the obvious (logical) choice....

(Siyempre, ibang usapan din kung 2 lang kayong magbibiyahe.... )

Iyan ang maganda sa mga classic na makina, katulad ng Vanette,- walang problema sa baha,- di tulad ng may mga computer box....

Thanks for the clarification bro.

On the E10,- I guess you mean that there is no issue with the way the van drives, right? Have you inspected the fuel lines and the carb? I am just benchmarking with you, because I myself have not felt any degradation in the van's performance nor seen any physical manifestation with using E10....TIA.

Mga bossing tanong ko lang kung saan makakabili ng surplus na fuse box ng vanette. Yung fusebox kasi ng vanette namin eh marami ng sunog kaya nakakatakot baka magkaroon ng short circuit eh masunog ang sasakyan. Kung sakaling wala akong makita pwede bang non-vanette fuse box ang ilagay ko?
Thanks sa mga mag-rereply..
