The New Nissan March Club (MARCH1Z) - Part VI
-
If you are getting an Elegance version, it already comes with a standard Nissan body, so if you intend to put on aftermarket body kits why not save that $4000 or so and get a Comfort March, then upgrade your rims, body kits and someother stuffs later on.Originally posted by seanmarch:Hi,
I'll be booking for my March 'E' tomorrow from TanChong.
Just wanna check out the followings:
1. any place to recommend for March Bodykits??
2. how's the drive so far? good?
Thank you very march!
Cheers!

Hei...
juz to feedback on the Stamford's service... (our 25K service)
my hubby is the one who go down at Macpherson,
he find that their service is good as they will explain in details whether which parts need to change.
The person he talk to is very honest, he wouldn't ask him to change this and that, and he give a additional discount for our Nissian March members. Juz look for Mr Bee Khoon at Macpherson (but keep to ourselves).
As for the REV engine oil, after change we can feel the different immediate.
we can feel it is smoother and more powerful compare to the previous service at TC.
And also, it is quieter than before...
So I feel tat it is worth trying... maybe for your next service, no harm trying once... -

Hi Kingmariot, currently using Shell 98. maybe i shall tryto lower to 95 to see the different. thanks for the advice...Originally posted by KingMariot:Hi reefy, that mileage looks quite standard on my March without the Broquet, anyway if i understand the talk by Broquet at Stamford Tyres last week correctly, they did not really emphasise fuel savings as an advantage. However they mention you can actually use lower octane fuel if you install the Broquet. So what Octane petrol are you pumping? The Broquet actually "upgrades" your octane level
. So maybe can save $$$ by pumping lower octane petrol like the 92 instead of the 95, 98 or Vpower etc.

hi bro
Can i Ask few Q about Nissan March K11?
March 06
-
yep. i am not a heavy footer and some more my nissan march is 2 weeks old. i have been using fuel saver on the other car as well. this time, i put 2 pieces of the fuel magnets and mileage is quite good. at S$70 per pair, it is worth trying. fuel saver works better for smaller engine cars.
you can call the distributor directly and if the guys are keen, you can negotiate for $60 a pair (inclusive of installation). the boss is a very nice guy. sms me if keen and you can check it out. my half tank is 289km and hope to hit 500 km per tank.
cheers, four_eggsOriginally posted by KingMariot:Wah 289km for half a tank, so how much mileage can you get for a full tank, 500km? Interesting, you are not the first to say that the magnets work on our March. Maybe can monitor a few full tanks and share with us your experience, driving habits, highway to city driving ratio, etc.

Just check with u, your Nissan Is 1.4cc? what is your rim diameter? what type of petrol u use?Originally posted by four_eggs:yep. i am not a heavy footer and some more my nissan march is 2 weeks old. i have been using fuel saver on the other car as well. this time, i put 2 pieces of the fuel magnets and mileage is quite good. at S$70 per pair, it is worth trying. fuel saver works better for smaller engine cars.

Hi,Originally posted by March06:hi bro
Can i Ask few Q about Nissan March K11?
To all bro,
i just get a secondhand march 1000cc, i have top up 32L petrol full tank but it only can go 450Km, do u think this is normal?
March 06
The k11 is DOHC 16V, 1000 cc. What is yours (Manual or Auto).
Believe the following could be your stock car specs:
1. Manual (1995 model)
2. Displacement 997
3. Frame E-K11.
4. Engine Model: CG10DE
5. Max Power(Net), kw(PS) - Rpm 58ps (42.66kw) / 6000rpm
6. Fuel System: EGI ( Electronic gasoline injection)
7. Compression ratio : 9.5
8. FC – Per 1L abt 12km -16 km
9. Tires size, front 155/70R13 75s
10. Tires size rear 155/70R13 75s
I believe you are in line with 14 km per L from your reading of 450 km / 32L. Take into consideration it is aging. Gear it up, it is a fairly powerful car to play around corners and zip through tight traffic. Drop in a 1.3L engine....
All the k12 march here are 1.4L AUTO, wont do much help for your k11.
I suggest you visit NEC forum at the bottom, they have a k11 forum and good tips. Hope they can assist you with your quires. Tks

Factory BK - 12 model 1386 CC. ( C - model )
Tires size, front 165/70R14 81s
Tires size rear 165/70R14 81s
Mininal requirement 95 factory. (42L Full tank cap)
Other factors like climate difference ?.
For sure 98 shell will give you more Mileage
(Subjective to modifications of cars, the comparrsion is base on factory specs ). Average shows 98 gives more mileage and vpower provides more torque. Basic street rules, always pump 20 L / 42 L. EVery L of pertrol is 1kg + -. It does make a difference, car is lighter, lesser drag and lesser petrol required.
Do the math, my half tank 20L is abt 12 km +- / per Lit. ( abt 270 km +- another 20km more after amber light appears ). Rims is running on 16 inch and car weight
Stock car curb weight; 975kg) + 20kg (bodykit) + 60 kg (SP)+ 25kg ( ICE ) + 40kg ( RIMs) = 1120 kg +-. For sure i am running abt 11-12 km per lit.
With 98 bhp ( 1120KG / 98 ) = 11.42 kg per horse pull.
On stock, 98 ( 975KG +- / 9
= 9.9 kg per horse pull.
Dun believe you try pump half tank and measure if your mileage; 2 x half tank of 20L each time. Per 270 km of 20L + 20 reserve = 540km. So on full tank i am getting abt 540 km / 40L +-. Try 98 shell. Or by bumping full tank at one go ! and see if your ride can achieve more. Try it on your own, this is my own car specs calulation. Try 20 L how far for 2 x tank + 20km reserved once amber appears and
Add together the total. At yr 3rd time you pump full and drive until the amber light appears + 20km more. See which one will give you more savers.
Another way to get yr $ worth try pump petrol at night or in the morning, you will lose abt 3%- 6% when you do it in the afternoon. Savings of a few cents if you want it.
To each it's own ? -

Hi NYC
thanks for your aws, My car is manual gear, now i am using R14/185/60 rim, i feel that my car have some problem .
1) first gear only can go 20km/h at 3000rpm and it can not go up
2) second gear 40km/h at 3000rpm
3)third gear 70km/h at 4000rpm
4) fourth gear 90km/h at 4000rpm
5) five gear not more then 120km/h
if i reduce the size of the rim, will it redure fuel consumption and increase the car speed
? i also use 4221 exhoust but the silence is original, do u think it will affect the performance ?Ha...... no money to change to 1.3 L 
,may i have the NEC forum wed side? thanks -
my march got into an accident today, or yesterday. very sad can't sleep. not sure even to call it an accident, i hit a curb and damaged my front left tyre. It was close to 12noon and i excited CTE into braddell road going towards upper serangoon. i took the turn at the junction and was on the merge lane on the left side. just before going out of this tunnel onto the main road, i felt this very hard impact and jerk then the next thing i felt was a punctured tyre and my car was going lop sided... my heart sinked at that moment. my head was filling with OMG OMG OMG and i switch on my hazard light, slow down and stop at this bus stop probably 50m ahead. i came out of the car holding my breathe and went around from the right to the back checking at the bottom carriage, everywhere else seemed fine when finally i was on the left side and saw the punctured front left tyre. what was worst was that the tyre somehow was shifted out of place. so had this super bad feeling that don't think just by changing the tyre could save the day. went into the car and called the emergency tow hotline on nissan decal. the tow truck arrived in less then 30mins. the seasoned tow uncle surveyed the damage and told me i would hv to claim insurance, the shaft is spolit! we were heading to tanchong toa payoh when i told him i'm insured with ntuc income. he was just right in front of idac braddell and stopped immediately on the road side when he heard that. he said ntuc insurance cant go straight to tanchong, unless under AIG or the rest. must go report idac first and follow their procedures. he said no point going down toa payoh. i called toa payoh they told me to call ubi and ubi asked me to bring down the vehicle. the tow uncle suggested it's better i report at idac first since i'm there now otherwise will hv to send my injured march all over the place... i went in to idac and they said the proper procedure will be to report and do the damage assessemnt and wait for the assignment of repair workshop in 2 days time. i requested to repair at tanchong since they asked me to send down the vehicle when i called previously. very draining. think definitely will not insured with ntuc anymore. anyway, the assessment was done by end of the day and i was informed to arrange to tow my poor march to ubi follow morning for their assessment. i called ubi again and was told the repair was not guarantee to be done there if the quote were way too far for them to match that of ntuc authorised workshops. javascript:emoticon('') very eventful day but i just want my march back soon and it seemed like there's more to come... sorry for this really long post hope i could go sleep now after sharing this heart breaking accident.

hope you gotten some sleep. Or its also a good time to stay up and watch the france and portugal game. Anyway I'm on Allianz insurance after surveying some other companies and find them competitive. When I took it up then, I actually verified with them that I can send my car back to Tan Chong and they are agreeable to it. The catch is the car must be not more than 3 years old and is still under Nissan warranty. The downside is I spent some time filling in the Allianz form at TC and also making a few phone calls. Should be more convenient if the insurance company is AIG for TC. Couple of months back got a windshield crack and I insisted to Allianz that I go back to TC to change them, they are agreeable and I can claim the insurance on it with no increase in premium. Their staff is also very helpful. They got the windshield changed within half a day. So you might want to check them out. Heard too many stories about NTUC Income for car insurance so never even consider them. Hope you get back your car soon. -

Did you lower your car with coil overs/ springs ? 4221 exhaust ?
Did you drop in an open pod. I need more Diagnostic to share any views with the lack of power and high end. By the way the k11 is 16v.... this babe is a kool ride. 'respect" !
1st of all, what are you going for with you ride.
You must think of your needs, pick up or Stability.
For sure when you increase your stocks rims to a bigger seting. You will increase your FC but gives you more stability and better handling than stock.
1. 0-100 km ( pick up )
2. Long distance/stablility/handling. Go to NEC and check with them, friendly pple with lots of techincal knowlegde and "loh bang" for k11.

Super cheap Espelier Active Super Down Springs for sale (2nd hand)

Installing it at a place like stamford will cost u $120 ... so remember to factor it into the total cost price!! (original cost is $380 incl installation)
Interest, pls email me at [email protected] -
hi guys, just to share with all of you if you are thinking of connecting your ipod to your headunit.
i have just connected a RCA cable (the other side must be a 3.5mm stereo head) to my headunit's AUX (at the back of our head unit).
S$10 for labour and RCA cable set cost S$9/-. now i can enjoy MP3 songs in my new nissan march. cheap and good way to enjoy MP3 in our car instead of getting a new headunit.
check it out.

i am on a k12, that's why i suggest you head over to NEC for some help.
i can give some baisc opinion after seeing no response for your quires. So i decide to post you some fundmental questions? If i cant even ask basic questions being a rider .... i can forget abt TECH talk. " bullshit" isn't it or stop moding my ride and end my passion.
Whoa worst combo FC and Fast. You can only try to bridge a mid point cant be best of both ! if you are hard footer and floor alot ... i am sure your FC will increase to produce faster pick up..is a manual car cant be any worst off than an auto car. Taking conerns, do you have your strut bars for front and rear (carriage brace ), lower suspension. Putting in a 14 ich is ok, dun forget is a small ride and light... ! at 110km cornering how stable do you want. Dam ! you are fast driver. 2 x again ? did you install an open pod... ?
Did you go for engine check on the cams and values...... ! I believe your ride is managable at this point ! ( i guess it is a 8years old ride ) cant really ask for more right. She is a good ride.
Head over to NEC alright and have fun with the pros.... !
Good luck.
Cheers mate ! -
Hi,
1)Ask TC what are the damage part(s), They will have to tell you.
2)Call the Parts centre in Toa Payoh to see if they have it in stock, if not, ask them to check with the stockist, i believe the parts should already be in and they have in S'pore, re:ex stock.
Look for Richard, he is helpful only if you're nice and courteous to him.He will tell you which stockist has it in their inventory.
3)Purchase all the parts from the Parts centre or the stockist.
4)Bring it to another workshop to get it all fix, it is very much cheaper, you may only end up paying 1/3 of the price qouted by TC or even less.
For all you know, you may not have to claim against your own insurance and lose all your NCD because the cost of your accident is very very little/low if you purchase the parts and bring it to your own workshop to get it fix.
TC normally qoutes very high for such matters.
All the best to you.
