Hello guys, I would like to introduce our high performance filter for Hilux. Made in Italy. Very limited stocks. Thank you!

Why replace your original air filter with a BMC air filter?

Long life: can be cleaned and reused, no replacement needed;
Wider filtering surface;
Maximum air permeability;
Greater retention and screening;
Better "Pressure Drop" ratio;
International test approval;

BMC filtering element HIGHEST QUALITY

The BMC air filter is composed of a metallic mesh containing an oiled multilayer cotton filtration material. This guarantees a high level of filtering efficiency and a limited loss of air pressure. The oil used gives the material its “sticky” adhesive characteristic which aids in the retention of air impurities without compromising or blocking air flow penetration. This also creates a continuous filtering process. The cotton filtrating element is contained within an external support frame which interfaces with the air-box and allows it to be securely installed. Every stage of the production process, from design to manufacturing, is carried out in Italy by Italian engineers and uses the finest quality materials.

BMC filter BETTER THAN OEM FILTERS

OEM paper filters present an elevated resistance to the passage of air and consequently a reduction in engine performance. The BMC air filter permits a notably higher air flow passage, producing less than half the Pressure Drop (the difference between the air pressure before and after the filter element) when compared to paper filters. The engine protection efficiency of the filter is ensured; thanks to the combination of the different oiled layers, containment of all impurities down to 7 microns is guaranteed whereas paper filters generally require total filtration of particles of 10 microns. Therefore BMC air filters allow more air into the engine in comparison to paper filters while providing better protection. In addition traditional paper filters must be replaced regularly during routine maintenance whereas the BMC air filter is reusable and has a general lifespan equal to that of the vehicle.
BMC filter ecological economical ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL
BMC air filters are made of cotton, a natural material which can be reused several times. The air filter can be washed with a special detergent then re-oiled, thereby saving the cost of changing the air filter each time the vehicle is serviced and thus reducing environmental waste.
BMC Severely tested RIGOROUS TESTING

BMC operates in a number of areas: automotive, racing, aerospace, nautical and industrial, and according to the specific regulations and requirements of each sector. Consequently, BMC air filter testing is rigorous and thorough thereby ensuring a higher quality in respect to paper, foam and plastic materials. The technical solutions used by BMC are derived from the results of a continuous and intense programme of laboratory testing. BMC carries out filtration tests in accordance with the international standards for filtering (ISO 5011). BMC Air Filters have a 98.5% filtering efficiency in respect to this standard.

Sir ask ko lang all new hilux lalabas na ba talaga this year and meron ba sa dito sa bansa at the end of the year?

[jickjam]

can anyone help me where to buy Aeroklas utility box (XL 220 liters capacity) may supplier ba nito sa Davao?
got my hilux 4x2 G VNT..... and I'm impressed with its FC at 16km/L (highway)

Toyota Australia engineers to lead chassis tuning for next-generation HiLux

7 September 2011
By RON HAMMERTON
TOYOTA Australia will have a bigger say in the development of the next-generation Toyota HiLux light truck due in about 2014, with local engineers being nominated to head the chassis tuning for the Asia-Pacific region.

The input from the Melbourne-based Toyota Technical Centre will ensure that advanced safety features such as electronic stability control (ESC) will be a certainty across range next time around, helping the top-selling Toyota match new arrivals on the market such as the all-new Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50 and Volkswagen Amarok.

The Japanese chief engineer for the eighth-generation HiLux recently visited Australia on a fact-finding mission, touring remote mines, farms and other places where HiLux has been a favourite in the harshest conditions for more than 40 years.

Said Toyota Australia senior executive director of sales and marketing David Buttner: “We took him all over the place and showed him as much as we could about HiLux in this market.”

Australia is one of Toyota’s most successful hunting grounds for HiLux, consuming about 10 per cent of global production in 2010, and about 700,000 units in total since the first generation was launched 43 years ago.

This success has been a major factor in driving Toyota to number one among automotive brands in this country – a fact not lost on head office planners in Nagoya.

This year, HiLux is Toyota’s biggest-selling model in Australia, topping the sales charts outright in Queensland, Western Australia and Northern Territory.

The next vehicle is in the early stages of development, with the current model destined to hold the fort at least three more years.

Launched in 2005, the existing model has just been given a mid-life facelift, with fresh face, revised model line-up that includes seven more diesel variants and improved value.

But with all-new rivals on the launch pad from Ford, Mazda, Holden and Isuzu and a rising threat from a raft of Chinese manufacturers, including Great Wall, Foton and ZX Auto, Toyota dealers will be looking forward to a total make-over of the HiLux to re-set the benchmark in Toyota’s favour, as the current model did six years ago.

Toyota Australia’s bid to have more input in the development of the next model would have been done no harm by the local input into the new-generation Yaris, with Toyota Australia engineers spending up to 18 months working alongside their head office counterparts in Japan to fine-tune the new model that is due to arrive Down Under in the final quarter of this year.

Toyota Australia corporate manager, product planning division Greg Gardner told GoAuto at this week’s launch of the facelifted HiLux that Aussie input into Yaris had paid big dividends, with the Australian engineers heading off issues that could have ended up affecting sales here.

He said one of the changes concerned the new electric power-assisted steering, with the Australian engineers coming down in favour of European steering box for the Australian model instead of a Japanese unit.

The issue was picked up in testing at the Japanese proving ground, and solved relatively easily at that early stage by upgrading to the European version for just $80 a unit.

Mr Gardner revealed that the Toyota Technical Centre, in suburban Notting Hill in Melbourne’s east, had been nominated to head up the chassis tuning for next-gen HiLux utes destined for the Asia-Pacific region – a first in HiLux development.

This role is expected to include ride and handling tuning, along with the integration of ESC and other new-age chassis aids across all models for the first time in HiLux.

Currently, ESC has been developed only for models with the largest, 17-inch wheels, meaning the flagship SR5 and mid-range SR Double Cab variants fitted with an optional $1500 safety pack.

Clearly, Toyota Australia executives would prefer to have ESC available across the range, and they made it clear this week that they would be pushing for it in the next generation – a position they will now be more easily able to influence with the input of Toyota technical Centre.

Although he would not comment directly in the future of HiLux, Mr Buttner said: “We are totally committed to improving the active and passive safety of every vehicle we bring to market.”

The facelifted HiLux, which was given its media launch in Townsville this week, gets some suspension revisions, mainly focusing on noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) improvements via new bushes, rather than ride and handling enhancement.

However, Mr Gardner said the 4x2 HiLux shock absorbers had been revised to achieve a flatter, more stable and more comfortable ride, especially over rough roads.

Another area that Australia will be hoping to influence is towing capacity. Although 4x4 HiLuxs now have a 2500kg braked towing capacity, this still falls short of the 3000kg offered by a couple of rivals.

sent you a PM sir.

[cooljack1232002]

I'm planning to get a hilux next month, anyone can give advice regarding the following items whether I should get it from Toyota, or if there is a recommended supplier that is of same quality but cheaper:

- Factory fit leather interior (seats and sidings)
- Bed liner
