the cabin still seem fully intact, this shows the crumple zone is effective in taking the brunt of a frontal collision instead of the passengers...good safety design!
exactly this is where i thought the airbags would come out, there are 2 faint lines on our steering wheel and the front compartment.
dunno what speed that driver was travelling in... good gosh!!
yeah, i hope the driver is ok. -

The model is AK-12 not BK-12 manual. I have the CD room and hd study the contents in it. Is good for basic Knowledge to know more on your car. There are differences in a AK12 vs BK 12.

The March 1.4 L and 1.4 L Clio Renault are sharing the same chassis.
It is tougher in a sense becos of the continental chassis being used to build in the March. Is the "Design" .. Present Japanese cars are skewed to take in more impact, which = impact damages to the car. The material used for the front & back bumper, and other non metal parts are able to absorb more impact upon collision which results in crimpling in.
Which now a days car manufacturers devlope and use for this propose, taking in more inpact.
The March is price higher becos the fact that there are continental parts use in manufacturing the k12, when it 1st arrived. COst is higher becos of the materials. -
Dear March Club Members...
Help! Any one has a copy of the March k12 car review ie. by Torque, Motoring.... ?? No luck on the internet, got mostly overseas models' reviews. Am considering the Marchie but TC has no cars for test driving at the moment till late May
Is there any 'big' problem with this car that I should know? -
Hi NYC
What is the recommended tyre air pressure you pump for both front & rear tyres?
If i am going for my 10,000km servicing, is it better for me to bring my own synethic oil for tan chong to change or i use the oil supply by them? What is the synethic oil that would recommend. Thank you for yr advise. -

Fyi and also commences in BLUE.
1. What are the main lubrication problems in passenger car engines?.
Most Lubrication problems for passenger car engines fall primarily into the following areas:
•Low-temperature or light-duty operation. This is when a car makes a lot of short trips that never allow the engine to reach its optimum operating temperature. Partially burned fuel byproducts can result in sludge deposits and excessive rust.
•High-temperature oxidation. Engine operating temperatures today are extremely high while the amount of oil in the sump is small, as little as four quarts. This severe heat stress on the oil can accelerate oil oxidation, resulting in oil thickening, loss of lubricating properties, varnish and piston deposits.
•Passenger car engines deliver high horsepower in relation to the size and weight of engine components. This places great stress on engine parts such as the valvetrain, which strains to provide the high cam lift and spring loads required for efficiency and high engine speeds.
•The use of air-pollution control devices such as positive crankcase ventilation and exhaust gas recirculation can increase the heat stress on an oil and increase the amount of contaminants in the oil.
2. How can I be sure I'm getting high-quality oil?
Ok, Throughout the world there are many differences in the oils. In general, name brand oil meets or exceeds automobile manufacturer specifications, industry standards and governmental regulations. Users should use the type of oil recommended in their vehicle handbook/owners manual or an oil that claims to be approved by the manufacturer of their vehicle. After this, owners may look to an industry standard, such as from JASO, ACEA or API, for guidance. The licenses ILSAC Certification Mark or "starburst symbol" to be placed on the front of oil bottles, certifying that those oils are the appropriate oil for gasoline-powered passenger cars, light trucks, minivans and SUVs.
Fuel economy savings for Fully Synthetic
0W – 30 Enhances engine performance and power
0W - 40 Ensures engine is protected from wear and deposit build-up
5W – 40 Ensures good cold starting and quick circulation in freezing temperatures
Preference choices:
Shell Hylix (5 - 40 ) or Mobil One (0 -30) (USA version, can find at Care4)
Gets to moving parts of the engine quickly
Semi- Synthetic
5W- 30 Better protection
10W- 40 Good protection within the first 10 minutes after starting out
15W- 40 Roughly three times better at reducing engine wear
Increased oil change intervals - don't need to change it quite so often
Mineral oil
10W – 40 Basic protection for a variety of engines
15W – 40 Oil needs to be changed more often
Engines pump about 10,000 litres of air for every litre of fuel consumed, and along with all that air, they suck in plenty of dirt and grit. A good air filter will stop everything bigger than a micron in diameter - everything smaller mostly just floats around harmlessly in the 0.001inch minimum thickness oil films that separate all the moving parts. Despite all of this, there will always be submicron particles that get in and there will be places in the engines oilways where they will gather. Every time you empty the oil from your sump, you're also draining this fine grit with it.
Tyres PSI.
Are you running on stock rims 14 or 15 inch.
Some tips.
Normal stock tyres Front (220 or 230) Rear (210 or 220)
A) Sedom carry load ( F 220- R 210 )
B) Always ferry and carry load ( F 230 - R 220 )

Depends on what you believe the car can do for you, performance or comfort and etc. Specs vs looks vs design vs performance vs value for money. You have to decide on your own. What kind of problems you might Anticipant and would be a problem to you. What is your level of acceptance if there are "problems", major problems in terms of what ? example: engine, exterior "wind nosy", performance, over heating and etc.... Is abt individual perference and choice.Originally posted by vellymarch:Dear March Club Members...

Hi NYC Micra,
Sorry for not being precise... i know nuts about cars but i am particular about engine noise... I tested the Yaris and i was really very dissappointed with how the engine sounded when the accelarator was stepped...Maybe this is their selling point! -
hey no worries mate ! is a start... A few steps to start off with your Comparative study of different manufactures, model, CC, $, and designs. Toyota cars are known for well managed Fuel Consumption, next Honda, Nissan, Suzuki. It also depends on models.. is just a simple and general elastration in terms of FC. Now the million dollar question of the "Yaris" most japanese cars below 1.6L would have Minimal sound proofing @ the engine bay. When you are driving you mean the engine roars when you step on the padels... ? Did you high Rev the car above 3500rpm or just very normal light footed accelaration and you feel that the engine is producing loud nosy. The finishing of the Yaris is a little rough to be honest ! I guess you are used to the comfort of continental babes.... i did check out the yaris when it come out, is little loud compare to the IST. My 2 mini cents worth.Originally posted by vellymarch:Hi NYC Micra,

text me 81630325. if you need some ideas... i am not pro !
Cheers Mate ! -
Seems like the ABS did not kick in or bad tyres. I dun see the rear being damage. Is sad indeed...!Originally posted by spikedoll:so sad to see marchie in such state -
as promised to vandalgal, here are some pics of our trip to Cameron HL in our marchie!!Originally posted by vone:BTW, jus wanna tell everyone that I went to Cameron highlands over the last weekend. Expectedly, our march has enough oomph to match and overtake countless cars on the roads
keke
using a blitz LM drop in filter, i hit:
max RPM : 5800
Max Speed: 158 KMH
on NS highway
Average Speed: 130kmh at 3100 rpm
( all timed and recoded using blitz R-Vit)
( ps. all our speedometer is 10kmh faster than what is displayed on digital meter hor, so when u r travelling at 100kmh, its only actually 90kmh)
For uphill 80km from Simpang Pulai going from zero to 1,600 m above sea level : average RPM 3000 rpm
speed 60-80 kmh
(need to mention that my cusco strut bar helped reduce understeer alot during the many turns up cameron, if not, confirm i dare not take a corner at 60kmh)
more pics to follow soon of the gorgeous view on the way to the top!!
First take the 2nd link... chiong up NS highway..
Drop by malaca for the "famous" chicken rice balls (erm not really that fantastic as it turns out...)
Back on the NS highway... past KL till Simpang Pulai Toll booth
Rain along the way...
remember to top up till at least half tank before taking on the 80KM uphill touge course!! no hand phone reception btw
finally view frm the top
Don't forget yr steering wheel lock...
next day visit the tea farms, strawberry farms
of course, sip BOH tea at the BOH tea cafe overlooking a beautiful valley!!
of course must posey posey rite
Finally, Marchie's achievement,,,
Tats all, sorry for taking up so much space on the forum!! -

I am a new and gentle driver, so you can imagine how much i step on the Yaris
Been doing research and shortlisting.. the more I do the more confused I become!
Thanks and if you come across any old reviews of Marchie do let me know!
cheers! -
hey valleymarch, good to see you here.Originally posted by vellymarch:Hi NYC Micra,

there's this compilation of links on the marchies reviews, issues, problems and why you should get a march here, just scroll down to the middle of the page:
click me here
have fun researching and hope to see you a Marchie!! [/url] -
hi VOne, good pics!!! seems like you had hell of a fun time up there!Originally posted by vone:of course must posey posey rite
Finally, Marchie's achievement,,,
i used to drive up there a few times every year just to rest when i was on my own. sure can agree with you the drive up is quite different from what we have here, but its fun. and i've never tried it in my march.
i see the stickers on your march, is it with some group events that you go along?
you also said the actual speedo readout is 10km/h faster than actual readout earlier (...somethin like that...), what gives? just my curiosity..
nice instrument you have. -
Oh My gosh!!!!!!!!!!!! this is bad, wonder who is the poor owner of this car??? think the repairs will be a bomb too....................Originally posted by Bullion91:For your viewing pleasure

ok, just to clarify, i give example
Our march meter on dashboard says 100kmh
my blitz meter says 90kmh
my GPS device says 90kmh
so i can only conclude that Nissan added 10kmh more to our meters (to prevent us from speeding?)
can anyone else verify?
