Look around yourself, 3 year ago every road, every car parks, everyone is driving nissian Sunny. It is the most popular car. If you notice now , suddenly th...

Not the same. Think Sentra is 1.8l, it is a different story.

I have just installed Z-stab for my dad's nissan sunny.

Better throttle response
Smoother gear change
Better FC - can get 12 - 13km/l

interesting point: how come a lot of private driving instructors drive the pre-pre-facelift nissan sunny 1.6 manual? should be becos the fc is super low cos students whack their cars everyday. logical? so how come there is a perception that sunny is a drinker? i agree the auto is a drinker, but the manual?

free4ever SG

Laughing Student don't whack their cars, Where got before see L-plate rev till 6000rpm one., although they still do some damage (clutch, brakepad, etc) to the car.

Maybe sunny spare parts easier to get, but i think they think the main reason it that when they buy the car, they speculate that it is the best time to buy the car, since it is the time when car prices drop to a very low level.

As for auto heavy drinker and manual light drinker, i am not too sure , but after I have driven the FL NS (the one with CVTC and E-throttle), I find the gearbox too responsive, changing gear when not necessary which lead to the higher fc. Go up gentle slope travelling ard 80kmh on expressway also need to change third gear...haizz Sad

kuuga SG

you forgot one thing..msia more straight roads..singapore go where will have slight jam..the on and off effect will affect the FC..if you still dunno yet... Cool

quek SG

hahaha
oh yeah sentra has 1.6l too

bryanlim1977 SG

Yah.. My uncle is Sentra 1.6. FC is OK. Can reach 13km/l.. Why?

Beside FC, i think functions wise, comfort... still consider good right? Any comment?

bryanlim1977 SG

Can anyone explain what CVTC engine and ETC are about? I know previously NS is only VTC engine... What is the different? FC improvement purpose or....

Very Happy

lotsa ppl mistook cvtc as cvt... one is engine technology and the other is mission technology.

//extracted from the internet//

CVTC cannot be controlled like VTEC. It is a continuous variable adjustment unlike VTEC which is either on or off. CVTC improves overall engine performance by supplying Constant Valve Timing Control through all operating conditions. The crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature input signals are sent to the ECU. The ECU sends a variable duty cycle to a pulse width modulated solenoid that works like an injector. By adjusting and directing the amount of oil pumped into the CVTC's chambers and allowed to drain back into the engine, the ECU controls the retard or advance of the cam up to 30 crank degrees (vs. 14 degrees on the older VTC motors). The cam is retarded at idle to create a smoother idle and decrease emissions, advanced in the mid range to increase breathing, and retarded at high rpm to increase peak horsepower and fuel efficiency. VTEC is like having a stock cam at low rpm and a race cam at high rpm. At high rpm, the VTEC solenoid opens to allow oil from the oil pump to flow to a piston in the rocker arm. This piston engages a lost motion rocker in an extra intake cam, locking it to the two rockers that control both intake valves. The intake valve on this second cam profile remains open longer which increases breathing. A VTEC controller interprets the MAP sensor signal, throttle position and rpm to activate the VTEC solenoid at the user's specified rpm. It can also add fuel by intercepting the MAP sensor signal and tricking the ECU into thinking the engine is flowing more air

//end of extract//

E-throttle is like removing majority of the mechanical parts and replaced with digital technology. Very responsive accelerator pedal. This technology has been around for some time in bigger cc car category, and i think it should be matured now Razz

Thanks a lot. So.... By comparison, VTEC(Honda), VTC(Old Nissan), CVTC(New Nissan) and VVTI (Toyota) engine, which one are well performed?

you will not believe this. my fc yestrday was 14.8. i put half bottle of redex into the petrol tank. first tank no effect. second tank from 13.2 ( i drive manual) per liter to about 14.0, third tank 14.8. if you cannot find redex call me. i have twenty bottles. very impressed with it. one bottle is supposed to last five full tanks but i don't care.

note: sunny fuel tank is 50 liter, fuel warning come on at empty mark at 40 liter always. pump at red light, about 450 mobil to 520 shell, very low on the E mark. still actually 10 l left.

i took out the spare tyre and tools a long time ago. also, synthetic oil, full, power.

my mileage until now is 28,000, april car- engine very powerful. my 14.8 per liter is high speed, above 110 most times, a lot urban 30%. nothing special like john taylor. email me at [email protected], pass you a bottle. but not good for turbo charged cars, don't pass around. also MPV with seven adults. both have very high load, any additive may disrupt fuel property at that temperature.

the sunny manual is a real sports car. don't modify the tires or rim or engine. very high torque- father keep rev at 5000 from first through fifth. a lot of reserve power.

check the 'Torque' magazine. sunny BHP per tonne is highest 98.4 per tonne, beat honda civic 1.5 and 1.6, bhp per tonne lowest for subaru impreza. mazda 3 also very low. but stress: manual gearbox. the auto is not a four or five or six or seven speed auto i think. so not fantastic.

compare sunny and corolla. if FC is say 11 km for sunny, 12 km for corolla for example. 1 km difference. 1 liter 98 at 1.50. about 12 cents lost per litre. 1 month pump 7 times full tank (7 times forty liters 280 litres) wastage 280 times 12 cents is 30 dollars. per month, per year 360, per five years 2000 dollars. difference in price for sunny and corolla greater tahn 8000, before interest. savings of 6000 operating cost.

buy the sunny. very good car. make sure choose manufactured in 2005 and put yourself in waiting list, don't take older stock. check manufacturer certificate.

widowmaker SG

well performed as in performance oriented? i will pick VTEC anytime Smile

widowmaker SG

// shrugz... drove a corolla (not altis) vvt-i before, and it feels more bhp per tonne. btw if you are saying the auto is not a four, five, six, or seven speed... then what kind of auto is it, pls share.

anyway, if anyone is intending to get a sunny, personally i would advise to go for a auto one, due to the fact the customer base sunny is targetting, which would dictates your resale value too.

free4ever SG

Agreed. Toyota VVTi feels more powerful as compared to sunny, auto or manual.

About the auto 4,5,6,7 speed auto, I also dont understand Rolling Eyes ...Care to explain?

kuuga SG

hes a tan chong sales person ah??..so supporting nissan.. Razz .... Mr. Green Laughing

sunny got so powerful mehz??..i always smoke them through normal gear shifting with my lancer loh... Confused

widowmaker SG

come on lar... pls dun start a lancer vs sunny war here....

go out and play ur self played game

kuuga SG

k k...point noted.. Cool

bryanlim1977 SG

Razz Can anyone compare between Altis and Nissan Sunny? Altis worth to buy? Now confuse whether want to buy Altis or NS?

widowmaker SG

cheers!!

widowmaker SG

both cars r good family sedans, just go test drive both, and, pick the one that pleases you more.
