*vinj, thanks sir for the advice will consult the manual.

*crazy_boy, dito po kame nag papa diesel sa may caltex JP Rizal Ave. Makati. I think what you just informed me makes sense since recently lang po sila nagkaroon nang renovation.

Thanks guys for shedding some light to my concern. Very helpful talaga mga tao dito sa tsikot!

Hi guys, baka may naka encounter na po nang same problem sa s. grandia nila. The low fuel indicator won't turn off. Naka full tank na po yun sasakyan ayaw mawala ang ilaw. Any advice before we bring it to the casa?? TIA!

Nakapagpalit na po ba kayo ng fuel filter element? Kung hindi pa, palit na and reset.

Bat sa Hiace kailangan pa i reset pag nagpalit ng Fuel Filter?

To clear the code that detected the contamination.

Hi guys, newbie hiace owner here. One quick question, has anyone drop their Hiaces? I'm using a fortuner 17mags and I was planning to drop my GL 2 to 3 inches. Any tips on what to adjust? TIA

[vinj]

^id strongly advice against lowering unless the Hiace has a proper set of lowering springs for the front. cutting springs will leave just too much to chance (especially with a front heavy van like the Grandia). even w the stock height, the Fortuner rims on lower profile tyres will look good already

*monty_GTV: Sir, ano na ang update doon sa SG niyo? I agree with them na masyadong maaga ang 40k kms para palitan ang suspension assembly. Baka ang kailangan palitan ay ung SA ng dealer na yan.

Ganyan din ung mga SA's ko sa ibang vehicles namin, palit daw ng kung ano ano, hindi ko sinusunod, hanggang ngayon ok pa naman.

*louieninobla: Sa Banawe sir, madami diyan. Try Goldcars. Or sa Winterpine.
If you get the alarm from the dealership, particularly sa Otis, sa Winterpine yan. Ang ayoko lang sa alarm nila, based on what Toyota installed in my SG, pag nag malfunction ung remote, hindi ko na mapaandar ung vehicle and SG has no override button. There is a process that you have to do with the key para mapa start mo ulit. A very good way to deter carnappers though.

naipasok sir rna800 sa warranty sabi ni esmi. papalitan daw ng casa (toyota dagupan) yung right side front suspension assembly. masyadong maaga nga mag-fail at 40k kms considering mostly ashpalted roads lang naman tinatakbuhan and occasional long drives.

Adjust torsion bar on front. Add lowering block on the rear. Ingat lang kasi sasayad ka ng sasayad.

Good day mga Sir, paki post naman ang link ng online service manual ng Toyota Hiace. TIA.

After six years of reliable service, I have finally rewarded this trusty van a makeover it deserves!

Six years ago.







After the makeover.







With new wheels and hankook truck tires.

*JAA sir I like your mags,magkano po inabot?

*JAA sir I like your mags,magkano po inabot?

Black Diamond alloy wheels 6.5" x 16, offset +37 and Hankook LT 215/70 R16, 108/106T load rating (pang grand starex). Total amt. P44T * Giga Mags Evangelista, Pasay.

Pasok pa rin yung tires due to the wheel's high offset (+37), and the light truck Hankook sits perfectly on the 6.5" width wheel.

Same load capacity as the oem 15" tires.

Maximum tire size para sa stock steel wheel ng Hiace ay 225/70 R15 (27.4" tire diameter pang Super Grandia). Pwede rin yung 215/75 R15 (27.7" tire diameter). Sa akin 215/70 R16 (27.85" tire diameter), walang rubbing issue, basta hindi nakalabas yung tires sa body. Yung 17" wheels from Fortuner, kadalasan ay 235/55 R17 ang nilalagay, low profile na nga lang at 27.18" tire diameter, mas mababa pa nga kesa sa stock 195/80 R15 tire (27.28" diameter).

Medyo mahirap din maghanap ng above mentioned tire sizes with the same load capacity as the stock tires. Kaya yung Hankook 16" light truck tires ang kinuha ko. Nasa 108 ang load index. :-)

[jaggerx3]

Yung 215/70R16 na tire size pang Grand Starex yan. Kung gusto nyo ganyan na size always check the load rating. Madalas sa size na yan pang SUV like CRV and Escape. Kaya hanapin niyo yung pang Grand Starex.
