No camera at the moment, bro... I know my is the second latest Sentra...

No modification done, all in stock form...

Quite satisfy of my car, but the only headache is when I start my engine early in the morning, the engine will come out "cicicicic.." sound.

Any idea how to settle this problem?

The "cicici..." sound come out when I start the engine in morning (without aircon on).

When I on the aircon, the sound become worse...

Any idea? Need to change those belts?

Ok, noted.. Will ask mechanic to check it.. Thanks!

Besides that, when I go thru bump, there is weired sound come out, i think this is normally happen to most Sentra owners, right?
What should I do next?

Last problem, when my car is in low gear (1 / 2), i can hear the sound from my dashboard, is this thing normal? Or something is inside my dashboard?

Hope sifus can help me on this...

carpathia, you take a pic of ur car and post it here, let those sifu confirm for you.

Me did it in another way, open up your hood, you will find a steel plate writing and car model, the 3 digit in front is your engine type..

Hope this will help~

Me also not so sure regarding the model...

Now the new Sentra is SG / SG-L, example 1.6 (A) SG / 1.8 (A) SG-L.
SG is the basic line of the product, SG-L mayb is the high line of product, because it add more car features (ABS, rear disc break, etc.).
Of course the price is much higher than SG

XE, I think is the previous type of the Sentra... Such as 1.5 XE.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

for me i think its ok..what u guys think? is it ok or high fc?
where is northam garage? hehe..still no money to modify yet..hehe..
do u guys know why my car keep making sound when i release the clutch..the sound doesnt stop unless i press the clutch again..but only when im on 3rd - 5th gear..
i ve changed the gear oil..still have that sound but better than before..
less noise..hmm..do i have to change the gearbox guys?
or is it normal?
the sound is not loud..u can only hear it when u switch off the aircond and radio and try to listen carefully..
but i just want to know whether its goin to cause a big probs or not?
any ideas please..

I think the your FC is much better than mine...

For 100% city drive, my FC is around RM0.17/KM, not conder heavy traffic and passanger.
Dont know why my FC can be so high...

(P/S: My car is less than 3 years old)

if want to overhaul, better take full overhaul so next time wont need to operate the engine again.
after overhaul can drop in a BOT boost 1bar.


Added on May 28, 2008, 12:49 pm

use light weight rim. better get those made in taiwan. dont get local rim.
if u have better budget go for made in japan light weight rim.
with 16" rim u will get a bigger tyre for sure so u will suffer some power drop on ur car. but conering is damm nice.
as far as i know JRD rim is rm700++. tyre 195/55/R15 goodyear is rm175. and heard tyre price will go up again very soon. so better change it faster. made in taiwan 15" rim is rm8-900++. made in japan 15" rim is rm2k++. 16" sure expensive than 15". i only know 15" rim pricing cozs i using a 15" now.
but 16" or 17" rim on sentra really looks pretty! macam itu latio impul which is uring 17" rim. damm pretty!


Added on May 28, 2008, 12:57 pm
here is ur rims!!!!!!!!!!
RIMS
*
Bro, JRD is local brand right? Is it good?

I dont think that I am going for 15" rim, from 14"->15", not much different. Possible, I will change to 16".
But the way, you say the power drop, what do you mean for that? Anyone have experience of using 16" rim?
Mind to share?

boonpeng : it depends on ur budget actually. how much u wanted to invest into it?

NISMOgan, actually not much... RM1500 for all the tyres and rim...
Not planning for too much, any idea?

But the way, your headlight damn nice~ How much for that?

14" to 15" got difference, looks better from the apprearance.
16" of cozs looks lagi better. Vanquish has a 16" rim if not mistaken.
power drop if u using too big rim cozs 16" rim is heavier and the width is greater than 15" width.
its either u want pretty big rim or performance. if u want 17" rim and yet got power, then have to transplant sr16ve or BOT the engine.
*
I think 16" ngam ngam... I really cost me alot if want to transplant for the 17"...
No need to waste that money...

Anybody have idea for the 16" rim and tyre?

boonpeng : i`m using taiwan lightweight 16". my ori was 14". the FC nd power is just as same. not much diffrent. as for ur budget 1500 for 16" is quite tight with tyres. unless u get a commercial tyres, but it is not so good. tyres is very important as its the only contact path, so y not stick to stock, save a lil bit more and get a better than normal tyres?

Bro, thanks for your advise...

Then I'll stick with the 14" stock rim, save for a better tyres. Btw, how much is your 16" rims and tyres?
Planning to smoke my headlight, wonder how much you pay for it??

boonpeng : my 16" rim + tyres cost me about 2.6k, and i tradded in my 14" for rm1.1k smile.gif good price isnt it? hehe when its quite news la, i think 1-2month old
Vanquish : aiks, 3k is insane !! no la i saw ppl sell for less than 1k or almost there for a used unit. u know of any1 selling? oh thanks for the headlight tips, i`ll tell my fren. Btw TC do sell em? it must cost a bomb then.

It's quite a good deal there... Thinking that, it is not worth to invest for chapalang brand of rim. Will try to save and spend to a good 1.

No, my one is stock engine and never mod anything. You said 1 bar can drive about 50-60KM, you mean 1 bar or 1 sub bar? This morning I drive to my work place, when reach my work place, already droped one sub bar and I only driven 9km, but quite jam lar. I mostly like pump RM50.00 can drive until around 350km +/- 20km in KL, selangor area plus jam lor. Just some times see the fuel gauge suddenly drop 1 sub bar, not syok already. haha

Phew, it really a LOT! Foe me, normally is around RM80 for 450KM... It should be normal FC for 80% city driving...
