Lucino front bumper I think can get but quite hard to source for it... You'll have to ask around the chop shops...
Actually, it's 172hp/175PS... But after such a long time, I not even sure if it even has 150hp... sweat.gif

Yeah, dun wanna tune it to the point that it hurts the car's FC...

Hmm, I'm not sure about that, had to ask other Nissan owners here...

with great power comes great FC tongue.gif

sledge, as far as i heard from people thay are using nissan matic D
Castrol is for engine oil

i`m driving a Manual anyway, not 100% sure smile.gif
just buzz them and ask
*
i read in the n16 forum that TC is using castrol as ATF, where after they change to matic D, the transmission is smooth and less jerking when changing gears....
argh, i think i gotta try... tired with the jerking -.-"

i hv try sentra 1.6 VTC, it is very nice car .....very comfortable ....but honestly , i see latio is a bit small and doesn't look grand compare to sentra , just my personal opinion
*
hmm, i find that my n16 very bumpy at the back when going thru bump... less comfortable than the grand livina (i was sitting inside when my fren test drove it few days back)... perhaps my absorber going bad? hmm.gif
and body roll was very obvious.... icon_question.gif
anyone added anti roll bar to their ride? i am not sure if stock n16 has anti roll bar ... but it doesnt felt solid when cornering...


Added on February 28, 2008, 11:42 pmah, btw, it is mentioned that advance ignition timing can make the engine more "torquey" in early rpm range....
for n16 that is distributor-less, how do we get the ignition timing tuned??

em, if i am doing some tight turning, the car easily 'buang' and the weight transfer is very noticeable sad.gif

furthermore with the stock 14" rim, the tyres don't seem to have much contact with the road when cornering.... so i was thinking if an anti roll bar would help in this situation... rolleyes.gif

i tried a simple but quick slalom on a open road.... hehe, the car felt like a small boat in a big sea tongue.gif kekekkeke laugh.gif

north : aiyo no sifu la i`m learner too hehe, yea ultra racing is good, i`m planning to put ARB on this brand too

sledge : yea i agree with u the stock 14" rim + tyres is way too scrub for fast cornering, i still rmbr when i drove my ex camry at the same speed, same turn, my N16 lost control !

the best thing u can do now is to change to wider and better tyres + rims (optional) and also suspension, it will like increase ur handling more than 100%, i never lost grip since then, i`m using 205/50 R16 now with moderate tyres and rims. Going to install ARB when pocket allows hehee, go up genting my rear tyres still coming up if going to 'my' limit biggrin.gif (according to fren following behind). If u interested in getting ultra racing ARB let me know, i can get u some discount smile.gif
*
i tot of changing to wider tyres also...
195/55R15 is the best choice as i done the calculation using tyre calculator.... the difference is 0.1% only. thumbup.gif
the speedometer only has a small difference.... but too bad that the cost of changing all four rims is too expensive sad.gif

if suspension, we have to change to stiffer springs or absorber rite?

sledge,

u are driving N16? N16 stock rim is 15inch rite?
i driving B14 stock steel rim is 14inch with 185/60/r14. now using 195/55/r15, i have enlarge the tyre outer diameter by 3% if not mistaken.
*
yeah... but my n16 is the first n16.... using 185/65/r14... since it is 1.6a. I guess the 1.8 version is using 15" rim.....

something to share with u guys...
i just gotten my n16 service today....not via TC service center...
and most importantly, i changed my ATF to nissan matic D....

now my auto gb gear change is smooth! not like previous times where it jerks regardless upshift or downshift....
previously if upshift within <3krpm range, still ok... but >3krpm, it jerks most of the time..

now the jerking is minimal.. hehe thumbup.gif
and it is noticed that the more power transferred from engine to the wheels... lesser lag in the auto gearbox
i am not sure what ATF is inside previously but i believed it is castrol since the n16 forumers said TC Malaysia is using castrol instead of matic D.

hello all, wanna ask.... n16 is distributor-less.... so to tune the ignition timing, it has to be done via ECU rite?

from what i understand, advance ignition timing will improve the low end while retarding it will improve high end....

if using e-manage to tune the ignition timing for the entire engine rev range, will the car become very nice to drive? drool.gif
