Just watched the Amazing Race clips on YouTube. Quite cool that the show decided to use the March instead of so many other cars. It's a real looker for the money!
Looks like there are lots of new Marchies around. Must organize another mega meetup so everybody can meet & greet.
Got my car on Sat. Already lost my key ring with the key code metal plate. Oh well. Good thing March doesn't have immobilizer so can duplicate key anywhere. Just did for $4. Nissan price for spare key with remote - $240!
The car is very impressive and super refined for its price class. Fit and finish is top notch. No rattling and jiggles. My Vios had rattles and funny noises from the first day. The Japs really do put in a lot more effort when they put something together.
The interior is a lot more quiet than other small cars (Vios, Getz, City, Sunny). I can hear the sound system so much better. By the way, I opted out of the Kenwood (so $250 off), and changed to the JVC 2-DIN with 12CD changer setup which comes with the Latio premium class ($530, so net topup is $280). Heard from the in-house Nissan installer that speakers are the same for March, Latio, and Cefiro. The sound is awesome, especially since the car is so quiet.
Sitting position is higher than other cars, more like SUV height. So for those who like higher seating position, this will be a nice plus.
So when we organize March Mega Meetup?

By the way, the Nissan warranty goes out of its way to say that warranty is void if we so much as service the car outside. So like that mods will surely void warranty, unless of course the mods are done by Tan Chong. That's really too much.
Borneo Motors doesn't have such policy. I changed my shocks FOC even though I upgraded my tires from 175/65R14 to 205/40R16 - 40mm wider and 2" bigger! Tan Chong really force people to service and mod only with them.

Anybody got lobang to make the keyless remote key? Just went to Lian Siong who does all the Vios, Corolla, and Camry for Borneo. However, they don't know the security code for Nissan March, so they can't do it. $240 plus GST is a bit steep for a key.
Any lobang?

The Vios forum had pics of a pink March with Hello Kitty designs all over. The Nissan logo in front has been replaced with a Hello Kitty emblem. This March was parked in Vivocity recently which where the pics were taken.

yeah, i must say i'm really impressed with the march. been so pleased w it!
so so anyone interested in the car paint sealant? and what's ur new car's fc? -
Hi Balloony, mine is also an orange March but I guess it is different shades of orange. I've done my paint sealant at Tough Seal 2 years back, look for Patrick or surf their website http://www.toughseal.com.sg. I would say it protects your paint work from bird pooh, berry saps etc. I am not sure if they still provide the $10 car wash with vacuum and re-application of the sealant each time you go back, so check with them.Originally posted by balloony:the e model comes with immobilizer. the c model doesn't.

And yes the March is a joy to drive and with my fuel consumption hitting the average of 13+km/l, no complaints at all. -

Not really lah, a couple of us have changed our rims and also done some things to the car, I even tell the mechanic at Tan Chong about them. They still continue to rotate my "upgraded" tyres every servicing, change the spark plugs I gave them, etc. Guess simple "changes" (I don't even wanna call them mods) should be ok but if you touch the engine put in a supercharger/turbocharger, NOS whatever, then its a different story. Anyway once you do all that, do you still want them to service for you? I still continue to service with them and one time they did not do the engine consult thingy, they even come to my house to do it for me.Originally posted by Shooting_Cloud:By the way, the Nissan warranty goes out of its way to say that warranty is void if we so much as service the car outside.

Tan Chong really force people to service and mod only with them. But you probably know of some workshop which specialises in Nissan cars (Autosaver etc) and the pple here should be able to help you out with one or two recommendations. So really it depends on the individual.
So are you gonna upgrade your March rims to 16 inch? -

Hello,I have asked the grandis club mods if they would be interested to meet you all up for say,lunch at KL on their en route to Genting(as their holiday around the same date as yours) but they politely declined as they said safety might be of concern with bigger group and it might be sort of rush as u 2 have not met each other.
Thanks
But this info wouldnt really of use as the plan's been changed -
my SE quoted me $280!Originally posted by Shooting_Cloud:Yep, we were there. I was driving a white Vios, which has been replaced with an Air Blue March as of last Saturday.

Any lobang?
even at $240 + gst = $252 still too ex.
anybody with lobang please help! -
$280 maybe for Intelligent Keyless (for 14E). The $240 price is for 14C.
Don't think I'll change the wheels to 16" yet. I doubt Justin can give much for 14" steel rims and Goodyear GT3 economy tyres. So I'll scrap and replace them later. Also, the wider and lower profile tyres will have more rolling resistance, and so the car will be sluggish.
By the way, do you notice whether your antenna is off center? Mine is pointed a bit to the left, but it's no biggie.
Anybody install CD changer? Mine was installed under the front passenger seat, using velcro instead of being bolted to the body. I thought about it and maybe this is better since holes in the body could lead to water seepage and rust. But it's not so stable and may be damaged from the car bumping around. It's very dusty down there so high chance of damaging the changer and scratching the CDs. The boot is so small that if the changer is bolted there, the space will be reduced quite a bit. No choice... -

*sigh*, I am getting only around 11km/l on my March. Not sure if there is anything wrong.... don't think I am heavy footed and havent join the Dark side also....Originally posted by KingMariot:And yes the March is a joy to drive and with my fuel consumption hitting the average of 13+km/l, no complaints at all.

Can you guys believe the COE prices?! $13k for Cat A. Now the dealers are crying because they lowered their prices after last round of bidding.
Prices sure to go up now. If COE stays at this level after 6 bids, dealers may have to return deposit money. -
Oh that depends on rim size, tire pressure, load carried, driving habits, driving routes etc. In Singapore, I try to go on expressway most of the time and try and avoid jams if I canOriginally posted by zonkkie:*sigh*, I am getting only around 11km/l on my March. Not sure if there is anything wrong.... don't think I am heavy footed and havent join the Dark side also.... . Sometimes it might take a longer route but it might be faster and more fuel efficient. I am heavy footed but my last tank I am doing 14km/l on a Esso Formula F1 from Malaysia. Oh in this case join the 
Bright side

Is the K12 engine used by Nissan for any other cars?
The 1.5liter VVTI Toyota engine is used in the Vios, Yaris, and the JDM Corolla.
