400nm ady can pull u out of the earth liao, i cant imagine how does 470nm feel

perhaps, with the shorter redline nature of diesel engine and 470nm of torque, it will allow for gear change at 1k rpm
again, not sure how reliable it will be when running on our diesel grade...

our new hyundai sime darby - SANTA fe fe 2.2'R-engine' diesel = 197ps, 442 Nm. wonder hyundai going to produce a new pickup truck.....hehe

Santa Fe has great specs with incredible price. Unfortunately, it is Korean and don't expect good after sales support or good resale value.

Best to buy as used (1 to 2 years) than new.

hello mates

recently got the Vector tuning kit from victor87
at 1st i was alittle look down on the kit of not providing much result
but then after installing it and giving it a test run with victor
now it feels like a petrol car , body and pedal feels very light and power keep on pushing in each gear you enters

awesome kit victor!!! Thanks as well as the installation guidance and knowledge infos. =P

Thanks bro for the feedback !! Mind you thats on setting 4 only.. Hehe... Same here, at first i thought these kit are just like another volt stabiliser thingy, but after fitting one... We all know the outcome ! Hehe

Try this... after Vector.

1. At traffic lights, shift gear to L.
2. Use left foot on brake.
3. Accelerate to 2500 rpm.
4. When u feel the truck want to move, release left foot slowly and feel the rear wheel spin with white smoke.
5. Few seconds later, release left foot and let truck go until 4500 rpm before shifting back to D.

All those Ah Beng Wiralution will stay away from u like a plague.

Hahahaha.. Tried that during the TTs with the Midnight Club...

Can make donuts and wheel spinning easily with trucks !

Talk-the-torque !

tested in thailand leh... same grade of oil

the engine same as the sonata cabs in sg er?

kinda hard to 'touge' with d-max 3.0. too much of bodyroll
a lighter wheels of 17" (oz 4wd) and lower suspension + harder spring will be fine.
anyone can recommend a good tire size upgrade for d-max?

I am looking to rent the front and rear bumpers of Ford Ranger XLT(SZCW) Year 2001 with Yellow Signal light.

Puspakom failed the inspection due to ARB Bumpers.

If you know anyone who is willing to rent these bumpers for 3-4 days. Please let me know

Thanks in advance

Hello guys!

New to this subforum, i actually don't used 4x4 at the moment, but it on the way.

Have deposited 3K for a 2011 Vigo (Hilux). Its been 3 weeks and still no news. Everything has go smoothly including loan and so on.

Just need to ask here, How do you guys look at this Vigo? Pro and contras if possible.

IMO, underpowered for a 2.5 model. If 3.0, better but pay more road tax.

I noticed that actually. Especially when going uphill. Very significant. But i will used it for long range travel.

The 4x4 i plan to buy is actually 2.5G (M). Anyone know how much exactly its road tax gona be? And maintenance as well well.

rm1.6k/year... i think

maintenance very dependent on usage lor...

Road tax is around RM 840 per year (estimated) and maintenance approx RM 3k per year depending on mileage (up to 20000km). This is not inclusive diesel which around RM 6k per year (RM 500 per month for 2500km)

guys
my dad is getting a new pickup
currently nissan is having the 0.88% p.a. offer and maybe getting a navara 2.5 SE (M)
however, what about the other models like triton and ranger or hilux or dmax

any of u guys can help my dad choose?
is navara a good buy?

Wah, what kind of serious maintenance are you carrying out there [in the first few years]? Average of ~1k per year (10000km interval x2), buying engine oil in 18L tubs saves a lot of money on the oil. Even factoring in tyres I think its around 1.2k per year, regular oil change cost 400 in SC, tyres average ~70k km so not too bad on the pocket.
