Hi MeeMee, so your steering control cable mod able to function?Yes....
Cause a jam because of this ?????
Which mean casue lots of inconvenient to other road user ...
Meaning wasting everyone time ?
Bro...as long as you're comfy with it.Can anyone comment on the 2.0 QQ whether the drive is more towards continental or same as Japan made. I don't know how to feel the difference.
Any power loss and brake issue on 2.0 QQ?Bro...as long as you're comfy with it.
I got the 1.2t not the 2l. :PAny power loss and brake issue on 2.0 QQ?
Agree on this point. Reason why I chose the QQ is because it felt 'closest' to the VW that I'm driving now, so the change-over in feel wouldn't be too drastic.�
�
But again, everyone have different points of considerations when choosing their rides. The QQ just made the most sense for me.
�
QQ 1.2T uses torsion beam for the rear.... hence it drives like a VW, lol
So means good or bad?QQ 1.2T uses torsion beam for the rear.... hence it drives like a VW, lol
I test drove both. I got the 2.0 but I like 1.2t suspension.
QQ 1.2T uses torsion beam for the rear.... hence it drives like a VW, lol
QQ 2.0L uses independent multi-link suspension for the rear, hence it drives like a merc :)
Any power loss and brake issue on 2.0 QQ?
�
Hi qashqai2,
�
From the whatsapp group of 100+, >5% are 2.0L but no, none of the 2.0L there experienced power loss aka brake issue.
�
As also mentioned, power loss is reproducible and associated with Stop/Start functionality in such reproducible cases .... believe it is reasonable to assume that without Stop/Start, 2.0L will NOT face this issue.
�
BTW, I do think 2.0L is a good buy now with the reduced pricing and its advantage against the 1.2L are as follows from what I can remember and perhaps other 2.0L bro can add where I missed:
�
1. bigger engine with no concern on lack of torque and power (yes, CVT or gearing lag is still there) - cannot mod and even piggyback via racechip ultimate for 1.2L is maxed out at this level of performacne except more linear
2. no stopstart with no concern on powerloss aka ebrake not releasing
3. moon/sun roof - cannot mod reliably and expensive ... �better dun !
4. independent rear suspension - cannot mod
5. LED low beam main headlights - cannot mod reliably and expensive
6. Driver's electrical adjustable seat - can be mod but shipping from UK will be expensive
7. Roof rack - easily mod and inexpensive
8. Self dimming rear mirror - easily mod and inexpensive
�
Disadvantages:
1. Higher price
2. Higher road tax
3. Higher fuel consumption ... 100kg heavier
5. Non fancy dashboard meter
�
Hope this help if you are considering between 2.0L and 1.2L Turbo.
Cheers

Hi Itchyhand,
�
Independent strut is better and more expensive ... go over road humps and behind passengers will not feel the rocking effects as much.
Torsion is cheaper version of suspension and yes, my estima is also torsion beam and sure rocks badly across humps cos even longer :(
�
Similarly CVT like our Xtronic is cheaper version compared to even traditional 5 or 6 speed gearbox unless it is steel CVT type like Audi and CVT is primarily cost saving by car mfgrs and nothing to brag or show off with badges on nissan cars as they try to market it differently. �DSG would be nice !!!

Appreciate your detailed explanation. Thank you.
Since vast majority of Qashqais on the road are 1.2T, wouldn't the 1.2 be in higher demand in the used car (resale) market catering to wide mass market�appeal vs the 2.0?��Hence the resale value�of the 1.2 could hold up better?� A case-in-point is the Altis cars which are hugely popular and hence�have good resale value and demand in used car market...
�
As this b&b car appeals most to buyers in the $100K band category, the 3 disadvantages listed by Richard is high up on the priority list of these buyers. Higher cost of ownership and maintenance would be deal breakers between 1.2 vs 2.0.� If price is no object, the 2.0 wins hands down.�

Use SWC-1000-D2�(D version did not work) from All-Canbus which comes with both wired and wireless IR option which you can choose either to be connect to the HU resistive control or IR depending on what is available. �

However, tried to google for it but cannot find any info but please refer to the photo and Autotrend at TPY if you desperately needs it like I did even though I paid what I think is high price for such control that is typically SGD150-180 from previous installation.

Hi Itchyhand,
I see .... could be ... did not test drove the 2.0L and compared immediately with the 1.2L to know the difference.
�
Perhaps they need to soften the torsion beam a bit for the 1.2L dig-T else can be like lorry as with my Estima.
�
However, harder but still comfort bias is great since it also means better and stable road handling and not being pushed along the NS hway when a bus passed by or you are trying to overtake.
�
Some bro already swapped stock 1.2 spring with Eibach lowered 30mm spring and still comfort bias is great albeit not sure how much earlier the stock damper will fail .... looks great though !!!!

Rims still KiV.

Hi, I've been driving my new QQ for five days and so far happy with the ride except maybe the pick up is not as good as my former Altis. Overall it's comfortable and quiet. The sound system not too bad either. I did notice that both the front rims are covered by a layer of brake dust. Is it common and any remedy? Also, I bought from T10 light bulbs for the interior lightings but doesn't know if it's easy to change them. Any expert Bros can advise? Thanks!!
The pick up is actually quite awesome for a 1.2. Just that you can't floor it at the start.Hi, I've been driving my new QQ for five days and so far happy with the ride except maybe the pick up is not as good as my former Altis.

Really alot alot alot of brake dust haha. That's a common complaint. Wash often, live with it or change pads.
I've change my interior lights to leds. Altho someone helped me with it, it is still literally plug n play. The covers can be pryed open using a flat blunt object (hard plastic is great).
Be careful of the original bulbs..they get super hot even only after a few secs.

Hi Haronkr, Thanks for reply. Yes, I've similar brake dust in my previous VW too. Perhaps only happen in Continental cars rather than Japan made cars. Anyway, small issue to live with. For my interior bulbs change, I wonder if I can get TC technician to help when I go for my 1k servicing.
Brake dust has to do with the type of brake pads used. For factory fitted brake pads, they won't give you good brake pads. You need to upgrade good pads to reduce brake dust.Hi Haronkr, Thanks for reply. Yes, I've similar brake dust in my previous VW too.

Thanks !! Yes, missed the imported leather on the 2.0L but understand from owners that while better than the Oct 2015 or earlier batches of 1.2L, it is about the same of the Nov 2015 onwards batch of 1.2L after leather fitter started glueing the leather to the inner seat.
14 km/l is great for 2.0L and unheard of from the limited bros I know on 2.0L and you may wish to recalculate. Anyhow, FC depends too much on highway/city driving ratio and driving style to make meaningful comparison ...my 1.2L varies from 11 to 13 km/l.
Cheers !

Hi R1480yjs,Hi LPPL, Thanks for your giving your view. Will definitely change them if it gets worse. It's still bearable for the time being.
Need to clean often and extend cleaning intervals only if using some protective products else if it gets too dirty for too long, it may be too late for the front rims by the time you decides to change the pads which last easily 50k km and more.
Cheers.

14km/l is base on per trip. Highest recorded went up to 16.4km.
Per tank is about 12+ to 13km/l. Didn't know there is such a difference until some bro mentioned it here.

For better safety, my though is to change the brake pads. Does TC warranty allow to change brake pads at other workshop? Going back to TC is likely to get the same kind of brake pads again. Moreover, I think it sure cost more too.Hi R1480yjs,

Hi Richard, Noob here. What will happen to the rim if doesn't clean off brake dust? Corrode? Any difference if rim had been coated with PPS? I gotten too lazy to wash the car n let nature do it for me instead. Wishing it rains every day so that car body not so dusty.Hi R1480yjs,

Making it hard to wash off .........
I doubt TC will change for u.
You can use plastic ruler or cashcard to easily pry open the cover, pull the stock bulb straight down and plug in ur led. Just note Led has polarity so if it doesn't light up, reinstall again the other way.
Another issue is the cheaper led tense to lit up dimly when switch off and it can be seen in the dark. If this happens u need to open up the led socket and change the resistor to higher value.
Hi Mred, Thanks for all the info. Appreciate it. Didn't know just a little bulb, you guys are are so expert in it. Like I mentioned previously, this thread is very useful to newbies.
Do you know whether TC will replace with better kind of brake pads? As factory-fitted brake pads are known to give dust problem, can we ask to replace ASAP even before it wears out? I had 'brake issue' with my old ride, so very concern such safety. Thanks.Brake pad replacements are free when you are on NPMP.
This only shows two thing. First, QQ owners really love the car so much that they will stand up to protect anyone trying to tarnish its name. However, I do notice that they are still receptive to constructive and factual feedback/comments. So this is good.Dun agree and disliked accordingly. Cheers !
This is the only thread in this forum I think whereby the existing owners are OVERLY DEFENSIVE when people have something factual but negative to say about the car. Other model threads also have their issues, albeit lesser, but I don't recall such defensive behaviour.
Or second, this car really gives problem, so owners are trying to defence the value of the car from dropping until they sell it.
I would choose to think it is the first, because they are so many people buying this car and the numbers are increasing. Can't be too wrong. Now till to a stage that I am worried the workshop may not be able to cater to the serving schedule. Actually in any purchase, they are sure some fraction of unlucky buyers whom have bought a problematic car. My heart goes with them and I hope that TC can rectify their problem as soon as possible. Having said that, something we also have to take note of; first time owners of driving a turbo car, smart car (a lot of the mechanism is controlled by computer - that's why upgrading or patch of software may solve some issues), electronic handbrake, start & stop function, cvt engine, etc, etc, have to take time to adapt to it. Also do not forget that beside those locally fitted by TC, we also did our own modification that may affect the performance (being a smart car) and also rattling sound (my situation - loose cables).
So, we just have to read/listen with an open mind, and those who wishes to share their dissatisfaction, give your feedback/comments in a factual and constructive manner. Those who enjoyed the car (including what you have added/done to your ride to make it even more enjoyable), share your thoughts as well. I hope to see this thread to become more informative and everyone benefits from reading. Providing some sensing to potential buyers. End of the day, whether you will buy or not, it's your choice. No QQ owners will benefit if you don't buy. Cheers and all have a nice day ahead.
For those cabine led - t10Hi Mred, Thanks for all the info. Appreciate it. Didn't know just a little bulb, you guys are are so expert in it. Like I mentioned previously, this thread is very useful to newbies.

Great, with this I believe basically I can use any branded double-din HU in the market. Faceplate is easy to get. Yeah, can't get much info about this universal canbus decoder. ��
For those cabine led - t10
There is those error free type
Meaning no Porarity ....
Thanks Meemee, another lesson learnt today.
Less dust doesn't mean it's good. Stick to stock if safety is a concern for u.Do you know whether TC will replace with better kind of brake pads? As factory-fitted brake pads are known to give dust problem, can we ask to replace ASAP even before it wears out? I had 'brake issue' with my old ride, so very concern such safety. Thanks.
No mind my asking, can I know what NPMP stands for?

It stands for Nissan Preventive Maintenance Program.

A servicing package that is offered by Nissan for their cars...been on this package for many years until give up and go outside workshop to service.
This only shows two thing. First, QQ owners really love the car so much that they will stand up to protect anyone trying to tarnish its name. However, I do notice that they are still receptive to constructive and factual feedback/comments. So this is good.
Or second, this car really gives problem, so owners are trying to defence the value of the car from dropping until they sell it.
I would choose to think it is the first, because they are so many people buying this car and the numbers are increasing. Can't be too wrong. Now till to a stage that I am worried the workshop may not be able to cater to the serving schedule. Actually in any purchase, they are sure some fraction of unlucky buyers whom have bought a problematic car. My heart goes with them and I hope that TC can rectify their problem as soon as possible. Having said that, something we also have to take note of; first time owners of driving a turbo car, smart car (a lot of the mechanism is controlled by computer - that's why upgrading or patch of software may solve some issues), electronic handbrake, start & stop function, cvt engine, etc, etc, have to take time to adapt to it. Also do not forget that beside those locally fitted by TC, we also did our own modification that may affect the performance (being a smart car) and also rattling sound (my situation - loose cables).
So, we just have to read/listen with an open mind, and those who wishes to share their dissatisfaction, give your feedback/comments in a factual and constructive manner. Those who enjoyed the car (including what you have added/done to your ride to make it even more enjoyable), share your thoughts as well. I hope to see this thread to become more informative and everyone benefits from reading. Providing some sensing to potential buyers. End of the day, whether you will buy or not, it's your choice. No QQ owners will benefit if you don't buy. Cheers and all have a nice day ahead.
I agree. Regardless of what models or brand, there's bound to have some issues here & there. Even high end luxury cars have their little problems too. I own & driven the VW and the gearbox just "died" on me in the middle of PIE in the morning rush hours. It's a common problem yet to be fixed by VW. So, just enjoy what we have bought and settle such issues as it comes along. Cheers!!
My SE recommends NPMP. May I ask why you had given up? Sounds like NPMP not satisfactory.It stands for Nissan Preventive Maintenance Program.

As mentioned above .No mind my asking, can I know what NPMP stands for?
Notice the dust more on the 1.2 but possibly because the rim is metallic whereas 2.0 is two tone ( black). Don't know what brand pads are , but they are fine not a defect . Yes strongly advise everyone to use MPMP. Nobody outside has more experience than TC with QQ and they can always call Nissan for any troubleshooting support . Also you do do die die must must must use Nissan ATF fluid (don't ask but just to say I am more than intensely knowledgeable about such things) and TC will use this. Plus also their 5 year warranty conditional on using them.Do you know whether TC will replace with better kind of brake pads? As factory-fitted brake pads are known to give dust problem, can we ask to replace ASAP even before it wears out? I had 'brake issue' with my old ride, so very concern such safety. Thanks.

Thank you Sir. My new QQ comes with 5 yrs warranty. Can I know when do we buy these NPMP package and what does it covers? I was also given 55,200 Duo points which my SE says can be used for future servicing. Last question...how much does this NPMP costs?
Hi guys, does anyone know how to remove the car seat alarm? I read from a post before we only need to remove some wire under our seat but unable to find back that post now...

Normally the first 3 servicing ie 1K, 5K, 10K km is free. If you have negotiated with your SE, you should be able to get this NPMP free up to 50K km (ie every 10 K after the 3rd free service).

If you have not negotiated you can buy it after 10K km. Pricing wise you can check with your SE.

Hi Candilious,
�
If prolonged period of not cleaning the rim of the brake dust, it will accumulate and makes it hard to be removed or impossible eventually to remove with noticable brownish stained rims. �You can see the same of many other unkept conti cars which our Qashqai is quite similar to that is more abrupt and jiak braking than typical jap cars.
�
Not familiar with coating rims with PPS and presumably does prevent more permanent damage and reduce the period of cleaning the rims but just like PPS on car body, you still need to wash the rim to keep PPS working.
�
No, alternative braking does not solve brake dust 100% but significantly reduce the period of needed cleaning and PPS would help further. �There are already quite many alternative brake pads like NiBK, Nisshnbo, Vetto etc. but do try them first to ensure your liking ..... they revert the Qashqai to be like typical japanese car with less abrupt and more progressive braking but also means needing sooner braking. �My CO prefers the stock while I prefers the changed NiBk pads.

Hi Richard, will changing non stock brake pads affect or void the warranty with Nissan?�

I do get irritated by the excessive brake dust. I plan to change it at TC when I go for next serving. Not sure they have low dust brake pads though.

For better safety, my though is to change the brake pads. Does TC warranty allow to change brake pads at other workshop? Going back to TC is likely to get the same kind of brake pads again. Moreover, I think it sure cost more too.

Stock brake pads, why not safe ?

�
Hi Pocy,
�
Do think the stock pads are fine w.r.t. safety imho and arguably more jiak but more abrupt than those alternative pads unless you get into BBK (big brake kits) which several bros had done so for safety
�
Not sure about TC's stand but if rotors gets worn out prematurely or if you complain about screeching sound ....TC could point to your changed pad but we can always change back to original if indeed such complain arises.
�
Going back to TC for next set of brake pads, you only need to change brake pads typical >>50k km and out out 50k km NPMS and even may already be out of 5 years warranty for some owners and hence a muted point .... similar to suspension which is recommended only >>50k km.
�
Cheers !

Hi Mred, Thanks for all the info. Appreciate it. Didn't know just a little bulb, you guys are are so expert in it. Like I mentioned previously, this thread is very useful to newbies.

Not expert, just learning from own mistakes..haha
U can contributed too by sharing ur "poisons" here.
-Sorry for the wrong Indo that l've make.
14km/l is base on per trip. Highest recorded went up to 16.4km.
Per tank is about 12+ to 13km/l. Didn't know there is such a difference until some bro mentioned it here.

Hi Dash1234,

12+ to 13km/l is still great but saw your msg also about 80% hway during weekend days and can understand better and little doubt now.

No problem with stock pads leh. Now already 45k mileage. Have to jam brake recently in KPE as front car kissed the butt of a lorry. No issue at all. �I am a stock man anyway. NPMS include pad replacement so I am keeping stock.�
Again personal preference.�
Hi Richard, will changing non stock brake pads affect or void the warranty with Nissan?�
�
I do get irritated by the excessive brake dust. I plan to change it at TC when I go for next serving. Not sure they have low dust brake pads though.
�
Hi Cashcow,
�
Warranty void is not all encompassing and can only refers to related part failures which I believe is reasonable to presume i.e. when I changed suspension spring, TC may reasonably void warranty for the dampers' early failure but cannot void warranty for the HU if found not working right ??
�
Sure, if there is unusual sound or rotors warped/damaged etc. when you brakes with changed pads, TC can certainly point these abnormalities to your changed pads and refuse to fix them or charge you to do so. �TC could be correct also since it is not a standard part or fixed by their own mechanics.
�
As such, while I do not suggest avoiding changed pads if it irritates you as it did to me, it would be only good for ourselves to changed back to the available stock padswhich we should keep at say sgd30-40 (not enuff to buy 6 months of rim cleaning foams)�and that test out if indeed such abnormalities still persist or even just to avoid queries from TC.

Cheers.

Hi R1480vis,

Believe the 50k km NPMP is about SGD1,4k but frankly, it would be the next 50-100k km NPMP that is worthwhile since many major changes are not within the 1st 50k km NPMP.

As such, please check if you can have the 50-100k km without taking up the 1st 50k km NPMP which I doubt else if would also likely to be more expensive than the SGD1.4k �Believe someone had previously posted the NPMP pamphlet on the detailed breakdown on charges by item and I will not do so again.

Dun agree and disliked accordingly. Cheers !
This is the only thread in this forum I think whereby the existing owners are OVERLY DEFENSIVE when people have something factual but negative to say about the car. Other model threads also have their issues, albeit lesser, but I don't recall such defensive behaviour.
�
If you are affected by what I stated above, that means you are one of the overly defensive people here who cannot take proper negative reviews or constructive criticisms about the car & don't know how to differentiate between obvious trolls vs actual owners of the car trying to give heads up about bad experiences.

Can anyone comment on the 2.0 QQ whether the drive is more towards continental or same as Japan made. I don't know how to feel the difference.

Previously i was driving a VW and I feel that it is similar to driving a conti car. Steering is also nice and heavy, and signal is on the left and wiper is on the right which is same as conti cars. But this is just my opinion, I guess it does defer from individual drivers.
Thought I saw some comments here about too much dust and brake lost effect. Anyway, Richard and Eric have shared some good advice. Thanks.Stock brake pads, why not safe ?

Thanks Richard. Will check it out with the service people when I go in for my 1K servicing. Need to go back to TC after 1 week of driving. The DVD player is faulty. Couldn't "suck" in the CD when you slot it in. According to my SE, may need to replace the whole HU. One of those thing to live with.

For those who purchased NPMP, did you purchase it at the service centre or from your SE? I read the brochure on nissan's website, it says the NPMP program V is for 2 years or 40,000km (entitled to 4 services at intervals of 6 months or 10,000km, commencement from first intake). $1,488.

As you mentioned that any higher torque may cause premature failure, it is strange that having to�use gen 2�RS chip for a few months now, the gear change at higher RPM (for example 3000 or higher) is so much smoother and faster�than�without RS chip. Maybe failure will occur when gear change is smooth at higher RPM. Anyway, this is from my own experiences and hard driving habit since driving my QQ 1.2 for coming to�5 months now

�
�
I beg to differ... there is still a torque converter in QQ so should not affect the gear box even if the torque is 20% higher. The max torque is at 1750 rpm.... at higher ratio, u need power not torque. So when u are at lower ratio, the torque converter is working bec u need torque to move the car.
�
From Nisssan:
�
With CVT the engine output is transferred via the torque converter. The torque converter is configured with an ATF and along with working like a clutch, is an important vehicle part for increasing torque and transferring powerful kinetic force when moving off. However, by going through the ATF efficiency decreases, and the fuel combustion also becomes poorer.
After take off and when the torque converter's functions are not needed, the most ideal situation is to run the engine without going via the torque converter (so-called �locking up�). The XTRONIC CVT was the first such system in the world to apply a lockup damper.
By expanding the lockup range to lower vehicle speeds, the system realizes improved fuel combustion.

These have been previously covered in this forum...
For those who are the more recent owners, you have free first 11k Km (not 10 k) servicing. When your car is due for its 21k km, go down for servicing and there at that time sign on the 40 k Km NPMP (don't need to do earlier) . You can offset your DUOpoints off your NPMP (the service centre will check for you how many points)

Hard to justify actually. Black can achieve the ultimate mirror shine while it is easy to spot its dirt when near.Deciding btw the Diamond Silver Metallic and Metallic Black. Anyone who have the black, is it harder to maintain the shine?

Wait till u drive BMW or Merc than u know what is brake dust.... My BMW dusty rims after 3rd day despite driving maybe 50km. There is a reason why stock has more brake dust from coefficient of friction to weight transfer etc. Brakes and tires are 2 things u don't play with IMO unless u upgrade them.Less dust doesn't mean it's good. Stick to stock if safety is a concern for u.
I had change to non dust type and they squeak and has less bite.... Pass, my family lives more important than dirty rims.

I suggest chip.... Bec u can setting can be set and it eliminates turbo lag.
First QQ is Swee in any color . But if you want to calibrate among them I think the best colors to my eye are Arctic white , magnetic red and ink blue.Deciding btw the Diamond Silver Metallic and Metallic Black. Anyone who have the black, is it harder to maintain the shine?
I am on diamond silver (co choice),
and you have pps black should not an issue with shine as with minimal cleaning the gloss is recovered

Sticker on the differences between 2.0L and 1.2L Turbo with contribution by various bros consolidated here.
1. bigger engine with no concern on lack of torque and power (yes, CVT or gearing lag is still there) - cannot mod and even piggyback via racechip ultimate for 1.2L is maxed out at this level of performacne except more linear
2. no stopstart with no concern on powerloss aka ebrake not releasing
3. moon/sun roof - cannot mod reliably and expensive ... better dun !
4. independent rear�suspension�- cannot mod
5.�LED�low beam main headlights - cannot mod reliably and expensive
6. Driver's electrical adjustable seat - can be mod but shipping from UK will be expensive
7.�Roof rack�- easily mod and inexpensive
8. Self dimming rear mirror - easily mod and inexpensive
9. Imported factory lead seat - new batches of 1.2L almost same quality but still creases
10. Main speedometer in km/hr and not mile/hr
�
Disadvantages:
1. Higher price
2. Higher road tax
3. Higher fuel consumption ... 100kg heavier
5. Non fancy dashboard meter
6. Wiper of older design
Hope this help if those who are considering between 2.0L and 1.2L�Turbo.

For look, pivot drive.

For effectivess, racechip response which incident does not occupy OBD unlike pivot (I am using from 9 yr old Sunny) and freepower. It connects directly to ethrottle.
�
FreePower has function to completely disable throttle as added security if you had it well and cheaper but isolated cases where there were some failures and created engine errors.

2. no stopstart with no concern on powerloss aka ebrake not releasing
3. moon/sun roof - cannot mod reliably and expensive ... better dun !
4. independent rear suspension - cannot mod
5. LED low beam main headlights - cannot mod reliably and expensive
6. Driver's electrical adjustable seat - can be mod but shipping from UK will be expensive
7. Roof rack - easily mod and inexpensive
8. Self dimming rear mirror - easily mod and inexpensive
9. Imported factory lead seat - new batches of 1.2L almost same quality but still creases
10. Main speedometer in km/hr and not mile/hr
Disadvantages:
1. Higher price
2. Higher road tax
3. Higher fuel consumption ... 100kg heavier
5. Non fancy dashboard meter
6. Wiper of older design
Hope this help if those who are considering between 2.0L and 1.2L Turbo.
Cheers
JanJenn,
For look, pivot drive.
For effectivess, racechip response which incident does not occupy OBD unlike pivot (I am using from 9 yr old Sunny) and freepower. It connects directly to ethrottle.
FreePower has function to completely disable throttle as added security if you had it well and cheaper but isolated cases where there were some failures and created engine errors.
Cheers,
Richard
Voxy28,
That sounds better and not inferring on others.

Get the 2.0L now..... I think the 10k premium is not too bad though I would had preferred the 1.6D turbo.
Great, with this I believe basically I can use any branded double-din HU in the market. Faceplate is easy to get. Yeah, can't get much info about this universal canbus decoder. ��
�
Hi Kiteman,
�
Indeed.
Mine is for Xtrail and 100% plug n plug into our qashqai with same faceplate and most importantly, my preferred stock knobs and buttons and even orange backlights. �
�
But sure, some may prefer 10" which I have some concern if too distracting even if you turn down brightness and you will lost stock knobs and buttons at this size.
Cheers !
Richard

Well I only stat my expeirience and its up to individual to decide themselves. Ultimately the responsibility is with car owners..
Good luck to all the mods....

TC have 1.6D turbo now ??

I would prefer their most powerful petrol 1.6L dig-T if TC ever brings it to Singapore.

No lah .... you did not only stated your experience .... you inferred on others that our family safety is compromised for wanting cleaner rims which does not sound right.

Yeah I only used it once I think.
�
It didn't benefit me anymore and there's no way I could get it back in cash without much hassle so I thought why not let the new owner enjoy it.
�
If you are affected by what I stated above, that means you are one of the overly defensive people here who cannot take proper negative reviews or constructive criticisms about the car & don't know how to differentiate between obvious trolls vs actual owners of the car trying to give heads up about bad experiences.

You know you are�

Dun agree but unfortunately cannot dislike you again ... will do so later. �Cheers,
May I ask why is my car making a lot of rough sounds whenever I press on the brakes? (I have changed my wheel to 18" and tyre profile is 235/50/18 on day of collection about 1 month back)
Has anyone here encounter this problem? Theres always make this sound every time I brake. It's annoying me.
There is a rschip version for QQ
http://www.rschip.co...1.2-dig-t-115hp
I've checked with Monster Tune and they do carry it. $780 a pop.
�
Hi Haronkr,
�
I have this in my estima.
�
It is generic and you just connect your mobile to the rschip module and download the setting for any car to upload into the rschip module. You can have 2 more download to different car models but transfer same car model sequentially will work without loss of one different car model since you did not re-download the settings.
�
As mentioned earlier, this is not as effective as racechip ultimate as it does not boost turbo pressure which is the most effective. It just mod the parameters of air-fuel mixture, valve timing, transmission timing etc. but it is "warranty void" friendlier cos you can just unplug from the obd2 socket while inside car with no added wiring in engine bay that you need to also remove for racechip ultimate.
�
Please also note that from UK designer with Nissan Consult diagnostic tools had advised me that TC cannot determined the actual parameter values modded and can only see that there is an error from related sensor e.g. exhaust sensor have error since air-fuel mixture deviated from expected. In additional, there are literally "tens and hundreds" of errors for each run even for perfectly running stock while noting that I had NOT validate this advice since without expensive Nissan Consult tools.

Thanks all the Bros who replied! Think will go for the racechip response control cos less gadget and simpler unlike pivot. Qashqai very electronic already. Will hold back on the plug and play chip for now. See how effective is the ethrottle then decide if it's responsive enough.

JanJenn,

Yes, it should the conti brakes characteristic ... more abrupt, more jiat but more dusty and more noise.

If in doubt and not chance to compare with another owner, go back to TC during service to ask them to check may be prudent.

I meant pearl white (which is more pure white from what was said) rather than Arctic white in my note.Deciding btw the Diamond Silver Metallic and Metallic Black. Anyone who have the black, is it harder to maintain the shine?

When u say inferred.... I presume it's my conclusion. Yes that is what I meant base on my experience. But that is my experience so there could be other opinion differ from mine which is also fine.
As far as I am concern, I will not intrude into the design phillosophy of safety. Why? Bec those engineers had spent numerous man hrs to get the NCAP rating. It's achieved thru a system design to work together not base on improvement of sub system... Though at an optimal cost. Hence u might get improvements in upgrading of sub system but with some trade off.
Pearl white is lovely indeed.I meant pearl white (which is more pure white from what was said) rather than Arctic white in my note.
