Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[beebs]

i tested this kanina sa SLEX. i turned off the aircon 10 mins before i sped to 120kph. tas nangamoy pangkulot nga. so i conclude that it isnt the aircon

my odo of my 2.7 vvti is almost 11k kms and haven't experienced the "pangkulot" smell. baka naman naaamoy nyo lang ang bagong straight o re-bonded hair ng girlfriend nyo.. he he.

[nx01]

sean jedi- am worried that condensation might build up inside the screen with part of the aircon vent partially blocked.(from your pics, the first slot is blocked). try what i did. better a little wire showing than ruining your display

Thanks for the note. I'll monitor for condensation -- the display is just slightly on the path of the airflow.

My issue right now is the view angle so I'll still be playing around the placement -- my screen reflects on the windshield at night so I had the display turn off the backlight after 10 secs . I would also prefer for it to face down a few more degrees.

Cheers!

Hay, sana Fortuner owner din kami, kaso ang haba ng pila tapos ipinilit pa yung loaded na version. Anyways, congrats sa mga may unit na. :D

Hmmm... Mukhang marami dito ang sanay magpa-kulot at alam amoy ng pang-kulot ah...

But, seriously, have that checked... Why is it so common? Sa VVTi variants lang ba? What about the D-4Ds?

in my case naman nangamoy during uphill on my way to punta fuego, kasi siguro nka D3 ako, nagpatay pa nga ako ng aircon at binukas ko yung window even my wife noticed it. Pero yung mag sumunod na uphill nag D2 na ako at wala na akong naamoy na pang kulot.

During long stretch naman sa nlex last time umabot ako ng 140kph, so far hindi ko nman na experience na merong umamoy na pang kulot...

btw, VVTi unit ko..

Went up to Baguio just this Holy Week. I've a 2.5 D4D variant. I topped it out sa NLEX at 140KPH and used D3 on the way up Kennon Road. Wala naman ako naamoy...or maybe I just didn't pay attention to it. Mas mabaho kasi yung mga usok ng kaharap kong mga jeep at FX. Hehe!

Btw, share ko lang...parang bitin ako sa power sa 2.5 (although di pa ko nakasubok ng 2.7 or the 3.0 variants). Huhuhu! We went to Baguio on a full load (as in full load) and disappointed ako sa acceleration niya. Medyo matagal, but once you reach around 1.5k - 2K rpm, ok na naman. Sa overtaking, ayos din. Talagang talo lang ako sa "arangkada". Tapos as I've mentioned earlier, it topped out at 140KPH. Feeling ko may ibubuga pa pero naka speed limiter siguro...kasi kapag i-floor ko yung gas pedal at 140, nagiiba yung tunong ng engine.

planning to buy either 2.7 or 3.0.
just a simple question guys..
if we choose 2.7, big saving po ba talaga ang 300,000php in the long run?
if not, we might get the 3.0 variant.

Yup! If you search through this thread, You'll find out that with the current price of Diesel and Gas nearly the same, the return on the cost difference of P300T would be around 15 years (for an average 10TKM/year of use). Good buy ang 2.7G...

mine is also 2.5, so far topspeed ko is 160. wala pa ako naamoy na "pangkulot".

i own a 2.7vvti. sulit talaga. 7.5 km/liter (city/hway). i've even out-sprinted a '05 rav4, '05 prado and a ford expedition along NLEX

2.7G kanalang for me the best yun! you'll have a silent engine. yung 300,000 mo bili ka nalang ng mags and LCD monitor plus DVD sa labas mahal sa TOyota. but ang alam ko nagkakaubusan ng 2.7G, yun daw hanap ng mga buyer.

amen! if you will not need the 4wd, get the vvti and ibili mo na lang ng bling-bling mags yung matitipid mo!

[kris06]

Kung ako ang bibili (hehe, sana may pambili...) at afford ko naman yung high end, dun na ako. :D

FYI: for those balak magsound setup:

The oem hu has no rca out. you cannot use line converters (para magkaroon ng rca if you want to connect it to an amplifier)either kasi when the hu is on cd the remote turn on switch which is connected to the antenna dies leaving no signal for your amplifier to turn on (unless gusto niyo ng remedyo, which is to connect the remote turn on to the ignition acc. switch pero lagi buaks yung amp niyo) which is unlike other cars na kahit nakapatay yung radio o nakababa yung antenna may remote turn on signal. SOLUTION: palit ng hu.

btw, the housing/console para maging single DIN yung look is P 2.5t at hindi P 900 as earlier sinabi sa sa akin

.......baka lang may interested with this info

man, are you serious??? san mo ito nagawa? I swear 140 lang talaga kinaya. I was flooring the pedals pero ala na talaga? May mods ka ba sa 2.5D4D mo?

Ganun?? I was really planning on installing decent sound setup using the stock HU for the mean time. Wala pa kasi ako enough cash...unahin ko lang sana yung subs. Looks like HU ang unang kelangan...darn!

2.5K for the console?? If I'm not mistaken, Vicoyski did the same thing pero hindi naman 2.5K. Nakalibre nga lang ata sya sa dealer pero actual cost daw is 300PHP. Not so sure though....maybe Boss Vic can shed some light..

i've done it many times already here in our place. btw, i'm from southern mindanao, roads here are straight and no traffic. at 160 rpm is around 3k (more or less), the car is still stable and engine noise is tolerable. my ride is all stock. my usual cruising speed going to Gensan is 130-140.

[beebs]

i don't know sir, pero i was *140kph and they wanted to overtake me so i just further accelerated and left them behind

bad trip nga eh. i wanted budget set-up sana pero nandun na so bumili na ako ng head unit(nakakabit na lahat). the console na P 2.5 nangaling pa sa pioneer so baka may mas murang version
