patrol flat roof -- need advise

**111prez** · July 20th, 2004 03:44 PM

kimpoy -- that's right pala. may change engine number, new registration, payoffs (?, grrrrrr). kung sa technical side, i think baka walang problema but i would not really know for sure although that nissan mechanic did assure me.

pero, wow, pag ma convert lang ito ng diesel, the best na kahit i drive ko for the next 10 years (wag lang bumigay ang katawan, hahahaha). tingin ko, even then, it will still be an eye turner (sana, hehehehe)

siguro bilihin mo na lang and enjoy it for the meantime (hell im sure your patrol will be fast...)then kung sawa ka na kabibili nang gas ay saka ka na mag-engine swap, malay mo by that time eh medyo mas mura na ang TD42 ang mahal pa raw kasi nito ngayon eh....

and if you're going to use it outside metro medyo okay na siguro yung magiging konsumo nang ride mo...yang traffic ang malakas makaubos nang gaso eh....

**111prez** · July 20th, 2004 04:13 PM

5speed - tempting suggestion.

well (just in case in the future), if you happen to pass by a cool looking flat roof nissan patrol by the shoulder of slex or nlex flagging you down for gas, then ako na yun, hahahaha :D

**5Speed** · July 20th, 2004 05:51 PM

hehehe.....oks lang...hehehehe muntik nang mangyari sa amin yan dati....buti umabot yung reserve fuel sa nearest gas station....hehehehe

**111prez** · July 20th, 2004 06:00 PM

hahahaha :D :D :D :D :D

**5Speed** · July 20th, 2004 06:07 PM

sabi nga nila eh kapag first time kang pupunta sa isang lugar na malayo, once na half full na ang tangke mo at me nakita kang gas station, magre-fill ka na dahil di mo alam kung gaano kalayo ulit yung susunod na station.....eh kaso nasobrahan nang katuwaan habang nagbibyahe....napansin na lang namin na 1/8 na lang pala ang laman tapos nasa bundok pa rin kami....hehehehe almost free wheeling na lang lahat nung pababa sa bundok yung nangyari to save gas...hehehe kawawa naman yung brake lining nung sasakyan....hahahaha

**111prez** · July 20th, 2004 06:47 PM

tama yan, especially sa probinsya na walang unleaded. diesel pa rin ang pinaka convenient although you can really get spoiled with the power and silent running of a gas engine

**mintoy** · July 21st, 2004 06:47 PM

just a thought. pareho ba ang differencial ratio ng gas na patrol and diesel? alam ko, usually mas hi-speed ang diferencial ng gas version. so check it out. you might end up spending more bacuse you might have to chage the differencial din.

**wildthing** · July 22nd, 2004 05:33 AM

benderbot, all our gas fuel are unleaded na (as far as I know)...yun nga lang sa probinsya hindi ganun ka ganda ang gas fuel nila (often walang velocity)...

If I were you, I'd stick to the gas, ikondisyon mo lang lagi ang fuel system...kung EFI make sure all the sensors are calibrated or replaced on proper time (Oxygen meters needs to be replaced too)...kung carburator, properly cleaned lagi...specially the air filter (shift to K&N) para hindi sakal sa air. Mas fuel efficient ka lagi and mind your driving habit para di malakas sa konsumo. Medyo matakaw talaga ang auto tranny.

Pero kung magpapaswap ka na rin lang, I'd suggest going for the turbo 4.2 diesel na manual tranny. Si Jappy Alana talaga ang makakatulong sa iyo ng malaki...I still have his old cell number, kung di pa siya nagpapalit, PM it to you.

my 2 cents.

ganun na pala ka mura ang gas na LC 80. yan na lang siguro ang spare car ko in the future. daily driver ang pajero tapos weekend ang LC80 na gas. okay ba?

ey chief,

just thinking out loud here....in the next couple of months or a year maybe, i see that the difference in prices between diesel ang gas won't be that big of a difference. Anyways, if im not mistaken that rig currently have 80Liters of fuel capacity and you can always have an option of slapping 30-50 liters of additional gas compartments, and even an extra 5 gallon jerry can if your worried about your guage going on empy during long trip...

honestly, I'd go for a gas engine if i had money to spare...environmentally friendly compared to diesel engines, more parts ( i think), greater acceleration and top speed, of the bat, you could probably run 180kms/hour with no sweat.

the best thing is,you can always slap a diesel engine and could probably do a snap on without changing anything since they "might" have the same gearing and drive ratios.

this would probably be your call...but the flat roof patrol is one bad ass mother! If there's only something cheaper out there, i won't have second thoughts getting one...

just my two cents

cheers,

kamote

i can across a guy with a gas patrol in bacolod and he said that he was consuming 4km to a liter of gas. 5-6km on the highway. if you can afford that kind of milage. go for it. so if you plan to go to say nasubu from manila (100). and gas is at P25. u'll be spending around P2,000 round trip for gas. ok sayo yan???

converting it to diesel from gas will just be a head ache. cuz there are other components that the stock diesel has that the gas does not. especially in the electricals. it would be easy if you were replacing your old diesel engine. but in your case its converting it.

well if i wer u 500k dagdagan mo na lng ng konti may local safari kana bubble top mag tiyaga ka lang maghanap, dami dyan, mine nakuha ko ng 750k 98 mdl. 49t km only slightly use sariwang-sariwa in/out, Executive Series pa at naka sound set-up, wood panel pa, Perelli Scorpion tires pa. mataas ng konti ang pesyo, pero brand new condition naman kaya di ko na pinakawalan, besiedes Php1.6+M yan noon so sino mag aakala na nabili ko lang ng mura. Kaya mas hinihimas ko pa kaysa k misis. hehehe jok. Barakong-barako dating ko d2.

sSo ki=ung 500k plus 100K tapos dami ka pang iitindin sa swp engine, tapos swertehan pa sa pagkuha ng surplus engine, eh di mag local ka na bro, may pagawa ka man, ung mga parts na lang na dapat palitan.

Besides matic yan bro, kung ako never ako buy na second hand na matic kahit anong car, lalo na kung di owner driven, brand new pwede pa.

well kung ako lang naman,
