QUOTE(Vanquish @ Jul 8 2008, 05:23 PM) That's becoz most of the Japanese cars there are directly imported from Japan... of course they have to do that, they have no space for an assembly plant Yeah, your exhaust system plays a very important role in engine power and efficiency... My car is currently undergoing some modification of the mid-section exhaust to increase the diameter to 2 inches to ease the exhaust flow...  exhaust design is an exact science dude need to generate low pressure chambers to increase exhaust velocities Civic vs Pulsar (SR16VE N1) promo vid the one you really want, I wonder how long this engine lasted  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by lot101: Jul 8 2008, 11:50 PM |

QUOTE(Vanquish @ Jul 9 2008, 11:29 AM) Errm, you didn't get my meaning correctly... I said that becoz there are other cars imported from other countries besides Japan, but most of them are from Japan... I didn't mean anything about Singapore not having enough space... can save $$ mah I know that but with a very low budget, I can only make some small improvements in the existing exhaust design... ... your lines pretty clear mah 'That's becoz most of the Japanese cars there are directly imported from Japan...' no mention of other countries also. Kinda edgy new job offers coming in soon. tired with the bloody viral bug floating around in the valley. dumb f@cks who dont cover up when they cough making it worst. |

QUOTE(joanalooidog @ Jul 10 2008, 09:09 AM) hi all. Just got a B14 auto, yr 97. power real good sure FC down one lo, try to keep RPM at 3k. plan your trips. use higher tyre pressure, make sure your alignments good, all belts are proper tension. use lighter viscosity oil. adjust timing =DFound out that the FC is around 0.25sen/km, or roughly around 10.5km/l high or not? but the power is really good. anything to be done for better FC? I'm not heavy footed person, hehe......... QUOTE(Vanquish @ Jul 10 2008, 12:10 PM) Can save $$? I AM saving money by doing it this way... =D ... yeah GTR tao kei sudah order.... kereta nih buang sama saya ya I caught the cold virus myself last week, still recovering from it... yikes......I made lotsa soup. recover faster no need for bee propolis or what not |

QUOTE(blek @ Mar 1 2009, 07:18 PM) hi sentra owner, get 1.8 version, cars in this market bracket have adequate power only.i planing to buy a sentra 2001-2003 model but i get alot negative feedback from my fren. thy claim this car fuel compsumtion high n under power, maintainance high. isit true? i need advice fast coz i need a car by b4 april. one bug bear for me is......the aircond does not allow you to cool your feet directly. edit> oh crap this is only for whatever comes after the B14  .............. someone mentioned about monk head and a krok krok sound if its a continuous sound only when turning its the drive shaft . .............. someone else about engine stutter switch off the aircond and see if you can duplicate the situation, if you cant check the compressor magnetic clutch and its wiring otherwise clean the exhaust recirculating valve if your engine has one, its usually located at or near the intake manifold and last thing to do is check your AFM, it maybe dying. you can check the resistance to see if its still working not (sorry I dont have the spec for your car) otherwise pinjam your friend one and install it to 'test' good luck dude ...............

QUOTE(NISMOgan @ May 10 2009, 10:39 PM) Erm its not suppose to be showing the coolant level in our radiator? U mentioned "replenish" by this it should be reducing day after day but it wont. Right? If yes do u know how it will detect when it 'needs' the coolant? heheh sorry for these question just curious It is known as an expansion tank. What happens is when the water heats up it expands. The pressure is regulated by that thing on the filler portion of the radiator. Notice the spring in the radiator cap ? yup that's to regulate the pressure. So the excess pressurized water flows into the expansion tank. The level indicator in the coolant expansion tank is to show the minimum coolant/water mixture into it. If its reducing on a daily basis, you have a leak somewhere in the cooling circuit. And with that I disappear yet again Added on May 10, 2009, 11:47 pm QUOTE(xphr3ak @ May 9 2009, 11:14 AM) May I know what is the different between Iridium Power & Tough? Sorry, was suppose to disappear but noticed your query. Thanks. Buy the normal ones, its been tested to death by experts. Just remember to gap your plugs. Specs are all on the net. Good Luck.

QUOTE(blek @ May 13 2009, 12:32 AM) how to improve handling on b14 without sacrafied comfort? how much money do you have ? if $ problem no ask this question any suggestion? da stock suspension feel nice when cruising on bumpy road but when high speed coner feel like car gonna flip over  Google Mike Kojima's suspension on a B14 setup. The spring rates are available on the net, its a loooong read and sorry no I dont have the data on hand. The biggest problem has always been matching the damping rate of the dampers with the spring rate. Another issue would be the rear suspension design. Mike removed the pivot and pun a pan hard rod into the beam to make it handle on the track. Good Luck. |

QUOTE(NISMOgan @ May 13 2009, 10:51 AM) yeap it is designed to match with your stock absorber (according to Eibach, but dont expect a 100% match) and will lower your car by a bit. It cost around 900 i guess. Need to ask around  its not even 50% match for stock dampers. you need to go for aftermarket dampers if you do decide to go with 'bachs. Comfort is in the break your back zone. I dare you to get your grandmother to ride in the back or front for long distances It seems KW has superseded Eibach because they have a seven post machine to test their suspension The set I used to drive on are out of the car within a month. I wanted it out sooner, but work commitments kept me from doing so. In that period the springs killed both driveshafts , blew out both rear dampers and sent the front ones packing the following month. Hmmmmm RON95, on the second cycle of using that fuel you should get your engine re-tuned. I love my RON97, the uses Esso/Mobil exclusively.

QUOTE(nlik @ Sep 13 2009, 04:34 PM) Yesterday went for 10k front/back wheel swap .. the usual. Found that even though there's the torsion beam which makes the rear wheels dead, mine is now slightly off alignment already. the rear wheel alignment is fixed for what car manufacturers deem as safe for 'normal' users  So I guess that horizontal bar is not 100% true, or maybe bends overtime. The shop says there is a way for sentra owners to align the back wheel, but it'll cost around 100 each wheel, if not mistaken it will be using a shim?. Also they found that one side of my lower arm bush is worn out already, so i guess it's time to replace it. He mentioned that cefiro's are worse as he had many encounters with cefiro with spoilt bushes.  Y don't car manufacturers use the adjustable camber screws for all cars as default!!. Those tyre shops really make alot of profit by selling, replacing all these stock camber screws with adjustable ones. If you don't change to adjustable camber screw, then they claim they can't do the alignment for you.Anyway, more useless info for you.. the front wheel camber is -ve 1.5 degrees. cheap lo 100 a side but ask him if he is sure of what he is doing. this is old skool alignment used on lorries with leaf springs all around. tell him you would do it only on condition ie replace beam if damaged etc etc. hot tip, you want the rear set to 0 it can only be done if the beam is bent from the center. its a hollow U beam. good luck do post back your results if you plan to go ahead with it. ok didnt see your out of alignment question. It can go out under these few conditions. a) chassis damage b) worn bushes c) worn suspension components |
