My engine is the SR16VE NEO VVL, the previous clutch is an Nissan OEM one, but it's also a racing clutch...

This is my first time using Exedy Racing Clutch, it's pretty much the same as the OEM one, like the OEM one it is also quite a heavy clutch, the pros about these racing clutches is that power delivery is very immediate, the cons is that these kinda clutches are not easy to modulate, especially when moving from a stationary position...

I don't have much choice but to buy this Exedy one becoz the OEM one cannot be found in M'sia...

Has it got any effect on HP & FC? Sorry, got a lot of questions & am trying to learn from various sifus about cars....

Yes, it does affect HP in a way, a racing clutch is more efficient in transferring power from the engine to the gearbox, so there's less power loss in the transfer, meaning more power to the wheels... And since it's more efficient, FC will improve a bit too...

Wah...like that can u pls let me know how much difference the FC is after testing? I would really appreciate it.

I can't seem to get good FC on my N16 la....auto. 11km per litre. My sunny can reach 13km per litre some more carburator old engine with 1.3l.

How much did it cost you ah?

Thank u

Well, with my kind of driving style, the difference in FC won't be much...

Right now, the FC is about 10.2km/L, nothing to shout about...

The Exedy clutch set was bought at RM850...

I guess that is a reasonable price for EXEDY clutch huh...

10.2 km/l... what about your previous FC b4 change?

Thanks bro, for layaning me all this while....I wish to learn & keep the thread alive...

Yeah, RM850 is reasonable, Eneos is selling it at more than RM1.3K...

My previous GA16DE was a quite a neglected engine, the previous 2 owners didn't took care of it well, so when I took over it, the FC was OK initially, then it deteriorated so badly that one full tank of fuel can only give me 290KM...

No problem, mate, sharing info is the purpose of this club...

Nissan Sentra N16 1.6 SGL

hi guys, just want to ask whether it is possible to change sentra (N16) dashboard meter to those digital type? Like civic or accord?

What year is your N16, dude? Please let me know and I'll add it in...

Yes, it's possible but I haven't come across any aftermarket digital dashboard meter for the N16 so far...

Hi all, I plan to get a new car in this month before the loan interest raise. But i'm in dilemma now by choosing the right car.

There are 2 options in my mind now, that is Nissan Sentra Sports and Suzuki Swift.

Can anyone share the pros and cons for both of the cars mention above?

Asking on behalf of my friend

He wanted to buy N16 (1.6 year 2001) price at 36k
Is it reasonable?

This engine using timing chain?

Yup , it should range from 33 - 36k, provided it's in good condition.

Yes, the QG16DE uses a timing chain...

wat bout 1.5 ? (price at 33k) year 2001
timing belt or chain?

Vanquish- is the chain need to change? or just adjust?

1.5 should b from 30 - 32k if not mistaken however 1.5 auto underpower unless if it's manual slightly better.
only noticable difference between 1.5, 1.6 & 1.8 is the engine capacity, other than that, they have very minor ones.

belt - need to replce, chain, don't have to but need to calibrate once in a blue moon.

Sentra N16 1.8XGL 05' selling at 59k, reasonable? Plan to get it soon. Has test drove it. sound proofing quite good~

Timing chains are supposed to last the lifetime of the engine as long as you maintain the engine regularly...
