'88 Nissan Sunny 1.5lt.
Best car we've ever had! :D

I love the New Titan and Pathfinder Armada both will give "The Big 3" a run for their money. Great job on the Titan and Armada nissan 8) 8)

:P Alfa Romeo 155 1.8 8v 1992 :P

BEST car there is :D:D:D:

Noo i'm sorry.... this thread is only for Renault enthousiasts. ;)

Ciao , Danny

what the??? somebody has been taking crack
this is a nissan thread not renault or alfa

NISMO blows my mind! Nissan makes some killer cars. They seem to be the most perfomance oriented Japanese manufactuer that I know of. They have the Skyline series, the Z series, the Sylvia series, and the V-Spec badge for the Sentra too! I don't know of anyone else making so many high performance cars at the same time :!: :!: :!:
All of them are such awesome machines. :shock:

Buzz off Alfa Romeo 156 GTA :evil:
Only Nissan In here :!:
350z all the way :twisted:

speaking of silvia....here are my new coilovers for mine. yay.

Cool pieces! :shock:

nice coil overs man,

Nismo is the most performance oreinted company around they said by 2005 or so they will hav ea part for every single NIssna car sold in North AMerica 8) 8) :lol:

speaking of silvia....here are my new coilovers for mine. yay.

http://www.turbotime.us/albums/album07/aag.sized.jpg

yo how much for them and what modle are you getting it for shanemb3?

I don't care much for the current Nissan styling but that will thankfully change shortly. the "tooth" thing they ahd going I don't feel looks too good. Otherwise the V-Spec Sentra SE-R looks really tight and is making decent power for a N/A four cylinder. I wish they would be able to match it with the Civic type- R though and get a good 200 hp even out of it. that would be a sweet Sentra!

I'd even like a 98' thats NISMO tuned and this areokit. How tight is this car? Very little in the way of competition against it!

hehe sorry guys :)

i knew i would get a reaction like that :D lol

Well of course i love the Skyline R34 don't wurry..

But i disslike it the Nissan Are more Renaults now... that's really bad.. i can tell u cause the new huspent of my mum drive's a BRAND new Terraro NOTHING else than Problems!!
Really thanx to Renault And in this Case FORD cause the new Terrano is toghether developed with Ford...

Nissan is reliable but Renault REALLY isn't!
It wouldn't help NIssan :(

Greetz : Danny!

I'll have to agree that Nissan would be better without Renault. They only help they need from Renault is financial help.

They are the Tein Flex's. The HE's are nice but would be too harsh for the street. I felt these were the best all around coilover for me. Plus I can get the Electronic dampening controller for it. They retail for over $1400. I got them for about $1200 through a friend. Spring rates are 8 front, 7 rear max.

ummm...... i think nissan makes great cars, but some of them are a little heavy

i.e skyline= 3600 lbs, 350z= 3400 lbs

other than that, nissan makes great cars

thats how much regular cars weigh :roll:

....EVEN THOUGH ITS SUPOSIDLY "HEAVY" THE CARS STILL HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DOMINATE THERE OPONENT

Call me old school, but i like the datsun 240Z. It's so innocent looking. It's just pure sports car.

jim i couldn't agree with you more, nissan is better independant then with Renault who is just in it for the profits, I am glad Renault helped them out though becasue nissan may have been bankrupt by now if renault did not help. In the long run nissan is better as independant then being part owned by renault. I think Renault is getting more out of this relationship then Nissan

Happy :|

Thlam u saw the new NIssan can't remember his name anymore but it's TOTALLY a Kangoo of Renault...
PLastic interior's :(

NO NIssan IS alot better than Renault for Sure... but this is VERY bad for Nissan
Weird designing , plastic cars and interioirs........... sooooo ugly! :D

Ciao , Danny!

which one the cube? or the nissan c-note becasue that is a rebadged renault, that they want to use as the next sentra :?

I'm sorry i don't know the new name of the New Nissan... but This is the Renault which looks almost exactly the same as the Nissan.

And btw this is what i mean with Plastic interior's :
http://www.autoweek.nl/cbimages/renault/kang2in1_a.jpg

Cioao , Danny!

thats the renault kangoo and it sure is one ugly car including the inside

NISMO NOT MUGEN!!!, lolol jk both are good, but yes nismo is awsome, saving for some R-tune headers for my VQ35

Any of you Nissan enthusiests know when the Skyline is coming to America or any specs at all? I guess I'm really impatient, it's been too long of a wait here in the US for the best Nissan product ever!

the R35 will be out in 2007 :cry:

what 2007 ya but hopfuly it will worth the wait

Worth the wait?!? That thing is a disgrace to the Skyline name! :cry: Nissan is definately the best! The 240Z, 280ZX, 300ZX, 350Z, R-32, R-33, R-34 (not to mention GT-R models), Nismo Sentra, Nissan SE-R Spec V, and the best of all, Fairlady Z32 (japanese edition??). All are very high performing cars.

BTW, Alfa, I just want to know... what makes you so interested in Alfa Romeos? Its a very small engine plant.. 1.8liter 8 valve non-turbo? Besides the fact that there are almost no aftermarket parts for them... I want to hear facts though. Not just that you've had one for 5 years and it hasn't broken down.. or that it seems really fast when you are driving down the highway. :)

Worth the wait?!? That thing is a disgrace to the Skyline name! :cry: I completely agree with you :!:
the best of all, Fairlady Z32 (japanese edition??) If anyone is wondering, that’s the 300zx

Don't know if Alfa is around anymore, that post was OLD. But I'll tell you this Afla Romeos are NICE cars....and some of them ARE fast, in Europe there some of if not the best small cars. They have style.

Ok, but how can you get ANY power out of a 1.8liter 8 valve non-turbocharged, and non-DOHC/VTEC?? :?: :?:

Huh???? As far as I know all Alfas have like 3.0 liter V6s?
They make like 250+ HP......

LLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Dude the fastest and more powerful Alfas are the 147 GTA and 156 GTA, which have 240HP and 250HP respectively (both 3.2lt V6). Normal Alfas have like 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 lt engines. There are also some 2.5lt (for the 166) versions but they are rare.

Check out the website: www.alfaromeo.com
Read about the models and the engines (twin spark).

Why is that so funny? I don't have any Alfas in the US so I was going by memory and I was pretty damn close.:roll:

BluCamSS is right,
147 GTA 3.2cc (250hp)
156 GTA 3.2cc (250hp)
166 3.2cc (240hp)
GTV 3.2cc (240hp)
Spider 3.2cc (240hp)
And also "normal" Alfa's are powefull, 1.6cc T.S. (120hp), 1.8cc T.S. (140hp), 2.0cc JTS (165hp)! ! ! And wait until GTA series get the JTS engine (340hp)

The G35 (or G36, i forget) is gonna rock the automotive world....hopefully :lol: and as far as small displacement engines having poor power? Hello! S2000! Civic Type-R! Integra Type-R! Hehe, I'm sure that the Italian I-4's can whip out at least 200 hp and 160-170 lb-ft of torque with a good modification job. Anyway, if Alfas were all really slow, I'd still like them because of their excellent style!

The 250 horsepower Alfas are damn quick cars....basically the top compacts in Europe. And they look great.

You said 'all', that's why I found it funny. And you weren't really close, cause 90+% of Alfas sold have max 2.0lt engines. They are not supercars, they are average everyday cars. And IMO they are not the "top compacts in Europe" as you say; I would definitely pick something else.

:arrow: Geo_x: I know about all those, but you are just picking the top versions of each model, whic are very rare... How many times have you seen a 3.2 Alfa (any type)? Like once or twice in your life?

But won't the FWD on the 3.2litre engined Alfa's make it handle rather poorly? just asking.. plus. torque steer too.

Yes, exactly... but that is rather irrelevant.

Well considering Alfa Romeo hasn't been in the USA in like 30 years I think I did okay.:roll:
And I never called them "super cars" either....
And I have read a few tests in UK mags, the Alfa ALWAYS wins comparo tests....

Something like 1990 I think, I was being sarcastic.
jimkk29 takes things to literaly at times.:roll:

Sorry to interrupt, but guys, this is a nissan topic, not an Alfa Romeo. So go make one in European cars. OK?

Thanks Dark... :)

Personally I really like the old school styling of the 280z and 240z, but performance wise I like the 300zx the best... whats not to like about 300hp, twin turbos, and 4-wheel steering? (yes the 300zx has 4ws) I think that it would be incredibly smart for Nissan to do a twin-turbo 350z.. they would sell a ton of those.. :D. BTW.. in 1994 the 300zx was worth around ~ 30k... am I right? Because now they sell for about 10k.. do they depreciate that much??

whats not to like about 300hp, twin turbos, and 4-wheel steering? Nothing :D

I think that it would be incredibly smart for Nissan to do a twin-turbo 350z.. they would sell a ton of those.. :D . I wish :!: I would certainly buy one :D

dark.. you took a turn for good in this

dark.. you took a turn for good in this lol :lol: That took me some time to get :lol:

no problem

Japan Grand Touring Championship was rocked this year by Nissan. they gotta be doin' something right here to win both the series. GT500 - Xanavi R34. GT300 - Endless Z. great job, nissan. the new skyline (G35) is a great body, too. and once they put the VQ35DE(TT) in there (GTR!) these things will sweep the racing world. (well in japan for sure at least).

Nissan has been doing great things lately. Well, they have for a long time. They have a serious amount of performance cars out there. Its too bad they kept them all in Japan. Someone forgot to mention the Bluebird by the way. An AWD SR20DET powered Altima. I just hope that the Skyline doesnt turn out to look like the 350z. I still like the RB motors better than the VQ's. But when the developement for racing gets put into the VQ it will be a nice bonus for the 350z, G35, and Maxima owners!

I just hope that the Skyline doesnt turn out to look like the 350z. What do you mean :?: The 350z is a great car.

I just hope that the Skyline doesnt turn out to look like the 350z

what do you mean. we already know what the skyline looks like. (the new one). people, the new skyline is the G35. all these folk talking about "oh i hope the new skyline looks great!" and "oh the new skyline is gonna be awesome!" guys. we HAVE the new skyline, it's out. it's the G35. the GT-R is gonna look the same too. roughly. it's gonna be on the same platform, same body, etc. probably only a few minor cosmetic changes if any. only real change between the GT-R and the rest of the skylines is gonna be the engine & drivetrain. so everyone stop trying to talk about what the skyline is gonna "be" because its OUT!.

i got great news for all the Canadians here the Nissan X-Trail is coming to Canada!
its a small SUV sold outside of north america at the moment, it will compete with the Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4
if you don't know what it is its this car http://www.cardesignnews.com/events/paris2000/features/nissan-xtrail/images300/nissan-xtrailfrts.jpg

Oh and best of all ITS NOT GOING TO BE SOLD IN THE STATES!!!!! :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

its going to be on display at the toronto autoshow

its going to be on display at the toronto autoshow Great :D I will sure to remember to take pictures. The name is Nissan X-Trail, got it.

The X-Trail already sells for years here, it's nothing special, but it is a decent SUV. I guess the RAV4 is better.

do you know the nissan march/micra (depends on the market) the k10 model had a special version named march superturbo. 930 cc with 110 hp, this thanks to a turbocharged and supercharged engine both in the same engine. it was really cool, only saled in japan and malasya.

Are you kidding? Is this a factory version or just tuned by some independent tuner?
It would be really sweet!!

Are you kidding? Is this a factory version or just tuned by some independent tuner?
It would be really sweet!! But only 110 hp :shock: What's up with that :?

110 HP out of 990 cc.
And the car weights like 800 kg.

110 HP out of 990 cc.
And the car weights like 800 kg. I didn't see that :lol:
Is this the car? It might not look like the old one because it's the 2003 addition...
http://www.batfa.com/new_car_nissan_march_micra.files/new-march.jpg

Yes it's that one exactly.

Now if they make the engine bigger and the car cooler looking and then you will have a sweet car :D

I feel like I could break that thing. :( Its too fragile.. Its an extremely small and weak 4 cylinder and a very small, and IMO unattractive package. I dont like it.

the nissan march/micra i'm talking about is the k10 model, it was built in 1989, and yes it was a production model, i`ll show you the picture soon

ok here are some pictures of the strret version and the rally version [/img]http://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_05.jpghttp://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_03.jpg

sorry, here's the street versionhttp://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_05.jpg

this is the last type of the march/ micra K10 with the MA09ERT engine with about 110HP standard. The turbopressure is 0.7bar, it seems possible to raise this pressure without any problems 1.3bar. With this higher pressure the maximum power increases to about 140hp and it weights 750 kgs (1650 pounds)

That's sweet looking car! Reminds me alittle of the original VW GTi, but it definitly has it's own flavor. Very nice, I'm impressed with how small it is, but it has a big presence.

ok here are some pictures of the strret version and the rally version [/img]http://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_05.jpghttp://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_03.jpg

I hope that car stays in Japan.

Still, think of 110-140 HP in a small tight car that weights 750 kg...

sorry, here's the street versionhttp://nissanmicra.vinden.nl/nm_st_05.jpg

put some bigger rims on it and it would be ok :?: but i would not buy it

Still, think of 110-140 HP in a small tight car that weights 750 kg... That’s probably the best part of the car.
