hahahaha

it's a Nissan Tiida :P

Gotta love the flywheel on those things haha, take the foot off the accelerator and it keeps spinning for ages afterwards.

My sister has one, apart from the flywheel they're a decent small car (due to 6 speed gearbox) even if they have no balls :kiss:

Yeah, they're a very functional little car. Due to the fact they're so ugly on the outside, I wasn't even going to look at them in the first place, but a friend had hired one recently and told me that they're definitely worth looking at. So I went to Nissan, and after a proper look inside out I was sold. Wayyyyyyyy better value than the 3/Focus I was also considering.

As for the revs holding for so long -- I think it's actually also to do with the electronic throttle - it takes quite a bit of getting used to and to be honest I'm not a big fan but you eventually don't pay attention to it. They don't have much balls compared to a performance car but I think they go pretty damn well for what they are, I can have 4 adults in the car comfortably, air con on, and don't have to give it a hiding to get anywhere.. close ratio box ftw!

      Turn signal wiring question

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah good point, it won't flash on indicator that way, so plan B, just another wire to run from under the dash which makes it a bigger job 30 to indicator + globe side 86 tapped into 12v input to flasher relay under the dash (has 12v when indicators on, nothing when no indicators) 87a to headlight parker + 87 to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth Now it will flash with indicators and be solid on with parkers

      Nissan Gloria Hy34 issues

      By OO Dan OO · Posted

      I am having issues I believe with the throttle body. The butterflies only open about 1mm on the bench at full throttle. Is this what is supposed to happen? does it use the motor for the rest? I am able to manually open them up the hole way but it sounds like it is on gears.

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Currently at 380rwkw with 2860 -5's & b cams on e85, trying to make it have a bit more torque/usable power down low.    Ive googled the v cams and most sites say discontinued, is there anywhere you can still get them?

      Most hardlines are available new still. But unless they're rusted to the point of needing replacement you can just zinc or cadmium plate them to keep them going for decades to come. Regarding the turbo drains it really depends. Braided lines might be better if it's a straighter path than OEM but I would not assume braided teflon lines will never leak. Teflon is a very durable material but you can still abrade, erode, or otherwise compromise its integrity. The return hoses on the bright side are not that hard to access relative to a full turbo removal so if things go wrong you can always put it back to stock. You can very easily drive yourself insane analyzing every little change, or maybe that's just me.
