obekediamondfuto:



yes oh.... I am ojesky and ugreat at the same time....

I used ugreat to comment so people wouldn't understand bro...
u get it right?

After responding in previous post, you came here to rant. sorry bro I don't have that time to derail further.

obekediamondfuto:

well.... yes.... just radiator

guess whT.

I have changed my gearbox for a knock sensor related problem.
after changing, the next proposed change was engine..... surprisingly, an engine change would have solved the problem as well... but would've created a hole in my pocket..

the koko is the diagnosis, get this right and solve 95% of the challenge

Ojesky is Obekediamondfuto??

ojeysky:


I said I will be coming back on this and here I am. I have just completed a journey from Lagos to Ekiti. I ensured to travel between 11 and 5pm when the environment was largely hot.

In the past: Whenever I travel from Lagos to Ekiti (or vice versa) my coolant temperature gets to as high as 110C and it is when I stop using AC and maintain 120km/h that my temperature won't exceed 110 otherwise it will and I will be forced to slow down to avoid overheating.

I have tried all sort of things including changing gasket, plugs, injectors and meeting engineers that have advance scanners and was advised that I change the engine. I also meet kazeems who suggested that I connect fan direct and buy a double cell radiator.

I read about GAZZUZZ on Nairaland (and connected via WhatsApp) a friend of mine also told me about him so I decided that I was going to have him do the engine replacement as I don't like doing out of spec modes. Engine replacement with GAZZUZZ was going to cost around 200k+. I made up my mind, gathered the money and drove to GAZZUZZ in Lagos, he looked at the car briefly and said I should change my radiator and that he won't even do an engine change without my radiator change (this is where anyone who doesn't know his person may get pissed off as one may think he is being proud) . It felt too easy considering how far I traveled and the amount of time he spent with my car.

On the understanding that I will change radiator irrespective of engine change or not, I decided to go with GAZZUZZ advice of changing the radiator to a brand new single cell specs for the car, and also got the Toyota coolant. Behold the car temperature became stable, we test run within Lagos and all still checked out. I couldn't entirely believe it was true until I got to Ekiti with my max temperature at 97C. I was running AC and got past 140km/h without any temperature spike.

Finally people, I recommend that guy called GAZZUZZ, his pricing may be more than what kazeems charge or may look awkward in your interaction with him but I can assure you that his service is on point.

@smart724 as you can see, am no longer selling my engine as it's kicking in my car!

Regards

In other words, you only changed your radiator?

Hello guys, need to sample more opinions. Friends advice I use a car of lower cost to get use to Lagos roads and driving but I feel it does not matter to use car I want to get. Plan on getting a Lexus rs 350 '11. Did you practise with any car available before switching to the car of your choice?

Your question is not clear. Maybe you should paraphrase

How much?

Nissan lovers, how much is the engine and gear of 2001 Sentra auto?

nurey:


A 3 plugs 600kg cargo capacity suzuki would be slow in acceleration when loaded with full passenger.

A 4 plug is more appropriate.

A chain driven engine is better and more durable than belt in the sense that the chain driven needs no maintenance while you need to change belt at certain intervals, belt can even cut while in motion (hope it's not an interference engine) also you may need to buy complete belt kit with pulleys when changing the belt. The only issue I have with chain is wrong engine oil use and change interval would spell doom for it but the chain is suppose to last the lifetime of the vehicle

As for turbo I hope it's not a diesel variant sha I don't see where this engine carry turbo in all its lineup. The suzuki has i3 5xxcc, i3 6xxcc and i4 800cc. Only the daihatsu, suzuki carry (box like) and some other variants made it to 1.3L (1300cc).

I see most people utilise the manual type even those that came with auto were converted to manual though I see people also use the auto for transport.

Above all its a reliable vehicle if you intend to use it to carry heavy goods and not people mover I think the 1.3L carry or daihatsu variant would be better in order not to stress the engine much.

Nurey, What's your thought on 99 Suzuki Vitara

Guys I need your thoughts on 2004 Kia Rio
cc Nurey, Heavenlybang, Gazzuzz

Please my people, how much can one get 1998 Corolla engine.
Also, is there any thread that talked about how to recognize a converted car?

GAZZUZZ:

I deserve some accolades

You've paid your dues, you deserve some accolades

Congrats Anty Radu!

Thanks bro, Like what range can I get neat and clean golf 3 that is recent (2000, 2001)?

There's no 2000-1 golf 3 if my knowledge serves me right

tataiwo09:
I budgeted 400k car to buy a car.


I have in mind to go for a neat wolkswagen Golf 3, but of recent somebdy convinved me to buy Honda baby boy instead.

Please, which one can you recommend me to go for?

Thanks

Golf 3

Please help enlighten/compare Mazda MPV and Toyota Picnic(optionally older Sienna 99-2002). Regular car for a family, availability of parts and maintenance. I4 engine is a consideration too. Thanks in anticipation

GAZZUZZ:


Lexus GX470

Amen. Sorry I mean any with I4 engine. Something average. Not for made-men

Dear Gazzuz,

What's the best 3-row seat vehicle for city movement, interstate journey maybe once in a year? Mainly for large family movement

Thank you.

State the year and wait for the gurus.

joeruano:


I need you to be specific on what your position is. Is it to continue without the thermostat and change to 5W 30?
If so, what are your reasons?

I just don't understand this valve cover taking off. I've been reading valve cover, valve cover but nothing on how to take it off. I checked the valve cover link posted earlier but I saw was pictures and didn't understand.

Bro, you can visit youtube to have a clue about what a valve cover is. The advice here is to open/remove it, take the picture of the sludge(poto-poto) inside if there's any, to help techs here give you a more professional advice.

silvoice:
hurray!!! my car is back and running.
i learnt few things today
1 not everything you see online is truth. every car situation is peculiar to it circumstance. my reason is that i read online that all nissan cars are interference engine meaning that if timing chain jumped, it could damage valve head and even the piston. i was so scared . but in my case the jumped timing chain did not damage anything.. mech. said it adjuster made it to skip a tooth. lesson: internet sent panic mode all over my brain.

2 people here are interested in big and modern car problem. but most times most of us who believe in the intellectual contribution of engineers here will always come here first to seek advice, even if our car problem is a minor issue.
thanks
believing that this jumped timing chain will never repeat again in Jesus name Amen!

Well, my bro, congrats on your car resurrection. The discussion here is mostly on modern cars(OBD compliant cars). May God provide a bigger one for you. Sorry for no response from here. Had been there before and know the feeling

Chelseafan1:


They said the engines are the same nd dt no one really has 1.4 in stock

Your problem is patience bro. If you take the route you wanna go, you may regret it. Stick to Anty Radu advice. Take it to her shop or wait for whatever appointment you have with her. Chikena!! Don't be confused and forget all those promises and facts they are giving you from the other side.
