Conventional Car Chassis
-
I find the Nissan Presera, late 90's design, very good.
Low CG, good aerodynamics, attractive if the body is decorated correctly. + fierce look. Looks like a FR car if mistaken.
I haven't test drive on this car but by words of mouth, by many people, they find it good. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anymore good conventional car chassis to contribute?? I need you people's expertise here, I'm a just a newbie, don't know much, just know how to drink diesel only. -
Yeah, looks abit like the Sylvia Q.

I find hatchbacks are a better chassis shape for FF cars. Sedans shaped chassis are for FR, MR and 4WD/AWD.
I've found some info concerning the power lost due to drive-train type, forgotten the website but still looking for it.
It stated Least power lost to wheels = FF drive-train
Followed by FR
Forgotten about MR....
Most power lost due to drive-train are the 4WD/AWD
Any violent objections? Please state your reasons so eveyone can learn too.
If possible please post some charactics of RR cars, I find them very rare drive-trains. Only on some buses and most Porsche. -

it's a nice car...
for something from 1990s, got electronic folding side mirror, key hole light, arm rest, electronic air con with climate control...
somemore SR20DE easily installed... Just need to change 1 engine mount...
something that done up properly can play with civic easily because of it's natural stability... no need to lower can play liao...
if lower lagi better... -
Whao... tatz very deep!! Do you think got pple still selling this chassis?? must start saving money liao... heh heh!!Originally posted by DaKaR:Think you meant nissan presea...

The presea CTII comes stock with SR20DE...
In singapore...
It comes with the alot tamer GA16DE, Same block as Sunny B13 1.6ss, Sunny B14 1.6 ss, NX coupe...
Like our standard NS Rule...
Do what you want, Just don't get caught...
Even our Rex and Evo Brothers...
How many of them are driving stock?
How many ESI/VTi out there are still using B16 or D16 block? -
so when comes 2 inspection how?
-
how many times do they actually go for inspection?Originally posted by AE86tofu:so when comes 2 inspection how? -
cos if never go inspection cannot renew rd tax...

of course must lah duh.Originally posted by AE86tofu:U think they bring for inspection must tell u one ar? In singapore its a MUST once yr car reaches 3 years

unless its inspected during servicing then i wun know. -
There are ways ard the inspection problem...
for new cars below 10 years...
it's once every 3 years...
for COE cars like Presea, it's once a year... -
but if they have a diff engine like the SR20SDE wad do they do?
-
If the "inspector" does not know the car well, he may not spot the difference.Originally posted by AE86tofu:but if they have a diff engine like the SR20SDE wad do they do?
Sometimes, they don't even open the bonnet, and if your exhaust isn't too loud, the car will still pass.
Then again, if you get caught, they will inform LTA who will fine you for illegal modification, and you have to bring the vehicle back for 're-inspection' after 're-installing' the original engine. And you and the car will be "blackmarked".
Best not to get caught.
I too am seriously considering the SR20DE conversion, but I don't want to spend 1K each year just swapping the engine back and forth for just another 30hp.
I believe that the turbo kit made in the US will get more approval in time to come, and that will be "semi-legal" in future. For 50hp increase (with a Garrett T25), it will be a very good upgrade.
With proper mods to the intake, headers, pistons, rods, camshaft, exhaust system, ECU, fuel system and clutch upgrades, a turbo GA16DE can get 180-200bhp car at the flywheel.
A suspension and brake upgrade (rear drums to discs, and larger front discs, slotted and drilled if possible) and the car will be ready to hit the track.
In 5 years time, if you do see a black Presea at SMSA events or PG race days, that may just be me
That's the plan for my baby.

thats good...but 1k 2 swap the engine back and forth? hmm....Liddat might as well get a turbo instead.....Plan 2 swap also....but heck...just get a turbo for my SR25DE solves the whole thing.....since it's the same spec as the S15(only with displacement increase frm 2-2.5L to offset the power loss w/o the turbo) getting a turbo shldn't be much of a prob...apart frm the LTA approval lar but b4 inspection cen remove...shldn't be that expensive compared to swapping back the whole engine

Hmmmmm
makan finish too free ah...
swap here swap there...
there are other cheaper and easier way ard the inspection problem. -
like how? PM me...Originally posted by DaKaR:Hmmmmm
