Hello Kman and Toadie,

TKS for asking during the talk !

Anyway !
Continuous Variable Timing Control (CVTC) nissan.
Variable Valve Timing Engine Control (VTEC ) Honda.
Mitsubishi innovative valve timing and lift Electronic control (MIVEC )Mistubishi.

That is basically how each car companies Variable Valve timing works.
Is all abt the tech name for Variable timing control, by the way Nissans own
technology team is call Hyper CVT.

And CVT was invented by (Leonardo da Vinci way back in 1492). Some bloody history lessons!

As for AT's (your everyday automatic transmission), they're relatively primitive, lose too much power (which is, "fluid coupling" via a torque converter?!), and reliability doesn't seem any much better or worse than CVT's anyway. ( http://www.antonov-transmission.com ) Future cars will adapt the ADD technology !!

Our Car model is BK 12 Auto, AK 12 manual model is for Japan and Europe.
AT fluid is correct, But there are different types of ATF brands.... ? Mobil One and etc !!!

The rough changing from 1st kicking into 2nd gear.... When your car kicks into 2nd gear shift the pushing forward can be notice. "jeking forward" !!!! Our Car is a AT gear box. Can use a normal AT Fluid !

NO CVT Fluid for your Car.. ???? That's true.

I sure most of you can feel the sudden rough change in from 1st gear to 2nd gear!

Any takers for that! rough changing of gears !!
Let's start the ball rolling ! Pen down your nick if you face this problem

Hi NYC Micra,

Thanks for your posting. I was just talking to Tedz and both of us have the same problem, ie rough gear change from 1st to 2nd, as if the engine is racing and then the surge This is more pronounced than from 2nd to 3rd and to 4th.

Hi Faded Mango,

Thanks for the tip on Munching Monkies. Food was good and portions were small but it was alright as it suited us well. Unfortunately most of the items were finished when we went there. Anyway now I know how to get there, I will go earlier and also know what to order. Price is half of what you would spend in Spageddies. Dessert looks very tempting but we did not try it as we had some cake at home, but will most certainly try it on next trip. Good tip, my kids enjoyed it.

I had a great time on Saturday though I couldn't stay to chit-chat with the Marchies after the talk. Razz

Thanks to the people who organised the event!!! I found the talk quite informative to an extend (though a bit too technical for someone like me). Embarassed But yeah, it helps in understanding the car better. So, if people were to ask, at least I can answer a bit here and there .... hehehe!

I think though, the most fun part for me is to finally put faces to the nicknames in this forum, especially the 'seniors' like:

Kamenrider - looks younger than I have envisioned but as friendly nevertheless.

Vandagal - always seemed like someone who loves food and hehehe ... when I first saw you, you were just finishing your cake. I still want the XXS polo-shirt if you have.

NYC- was obvious from your cap and T-shirt (though we were not properly introduced) - I like your car sound system!!

Marchmoo - can say hi to you next time since we live near each other.

Idyteh - hey, I can be your kaki for the polo-shirt, provided they have XXS.

Not forgetting Zoey, red_marchie, Aaron, Angpow - it's nice to know you guys!!! Laughing and the rest whom I had no chance of getting to know but were there ... hope to get to know you next time. ... hopefully with my own march Wink

ok guys, the talk was great...now i know that engine oil is good for us at 0W30 or 5W30....i juz got 4 quarts of Royal Purple 5W40 at S$12/- per quart for my 30k....any comments abt the price????NYC...any "HO LIAO" anot???

cheers

NYC_MiCra SG

Whasssssss up !!!

0w-30 or 5w-30 is indeed good, very thin and light ! Heating up is also very quick...! Is good to use 0w-30 when yr ride is new, after 2 years or 60k, you better stop using and switch to thicker oil 5-40... if not you can say good bye to your engine.

0w-30 Gives you better FC, but need to change every 5k-8k !
For normal 5w-40, 5w-50, 0w-40 ... is abt 10k before you change the engine oil. Is all abt managing the cost after all is almost the same.

I am using R. Purple 0-30, got it @$10 per 1L for my ride.
(if You game let me know)

peace OUT !

vandagal2002 SG

BOYS !!! any servising for 30k less than $100 with syn oil included?

NYC_MiCra SG

Have ! you dun change oil filter (abt $20)... !
$10 per bottle of Royal Purple $10 x 3. servicing for labour fees is abt $40.

Is only abt $125, all in !
(Oil 5-40 shell 4Ls , oil filter and labour + washing of engine bay )
Hey servicing dun save ok, is worth it.....! can forgo any part of your car needs but servicing ...... just go for it....!
Wink

KamenRider SG

hey, royal purple pple say belly good, i also want.

30K service coming, where to get?

we need 3L or 4L?

NYC_MiCra SG

Toadie and Tedz,

This issue has been around since we have our rides. Some how it was missed out during the TC talk, i mean a direct question to them ?... I ask Kman and Vandagal to ask them on the ATF and CVT is very much inline with the following issue of hard and rough when the 1st to 2nd gear kicks in.
Again lets hear from the rest...if they have this problem. Again our ride is 4 AT and CVT..! can't seems to nail the problem...! more work need to be done.

I dun really feel that much after changing my DROP in KNN air filter and DENZO sparkplugs !!! much better ride..! it also depends on your Accerelation and the way your accerelation.... footworks..! That's my own Experince !

Another talking point, boyz and galz....!

KamenRider SG

yeah the TC guy even said his personal preference is to change the synthetic oil every 5K, this will keep the engine lively.

KamenRider SG

next time you go there gimme a call, my office nearby only.

NYC_MiCra SG

3L + - for our ride...! start a list and place your orders.

May be arrange for coffee session and i will ask the distributor to deliver it down. $10 per 1L....! Is 0w-30 or 5w-30 ! Gives you better FC, lighter feel but you have to change after 5k-8k .....! if you do your maths is the same.. for using 5w-40 and change after 10k. ( BUY ME COFFEE !!!! Twisted Evil )
