[RachelAgl]

Has anyone,by any chance saw any A33 (3.0L) half-cut at any kereta potong shop ??

wow man .. from 2.0 to 3.0 huh? not worried about road tax? maybe follow wat Ong & Law did .. convert to 2.5 only .. no need to worry at year-end of road tax ...

 

[Lawcc]

Just check with the chop-shop where I got the 2.5l engine, he say don't have as is still new, and also give remark it will be quite expensive.

wei law...wan my absorber or not ahh

Actually my absorbers just changed 3 months ago (KYB Excel-G), so not very either bad suspension, hard absorber or hard tyres can the car to be quite bumpy.

Some says tyres, so I changed tyres, no difference.
Some says hard absorbers, so just wanna to confirmed whether is due to that. If this is the reason, then I want back the original feel lah...

So that is why thought of getting it from you....but must be cheap...cheap...lah....

So the ball is at you now....accept my last offer? hehehe...

Just come back from chop-shop, thought of getting the custom form and go to Puspakom to do the inspection, unfortunately the engine number is wrongly stated in the form, so the chop-shop have to amend the form, which will take about 2 weeks time. What a unlucky day...

And today only mechanic offer to buy my 3.0l engine, which already trade-in at RM500 to the chop-shop, and not allowed me to cancel the trade-in, even offer to buy back at RM600.

Thank you all for the quick replies!!

Am only checking the price first and see if it's worth or not for some items that I am interested besides the 3.0L engine...

Tan Chong coded me RM 4k+ for the stock auto adjust Xenon head-lights...

There are some features not available in the 2.0L that I may find it from the half cut....
1. Wooden steering with auto cruise control n audio control.
2. Anti-glare rear view mirror.
3. sensor indicative unit.
4. Bumper fog-lights with cornering lamp (about RM 2k)

So,if the haif cut come within RM 10k, with all these features...it should be a good buy...

Regarding how to go about up-grading the engine....I have to figure it out but not to post it in an open forum....you know why...

Do let me know if anyone come across the half cut...TQ..

u sure u want? i saw one last month.... with all the things that u mentioned... and the price is around RM13k.. 3.0L...

but... u sure can pass JPJ/Puspakom meh? 2.0 to 3.0 is like more than 25% cc increment already.

if i am not mistaken. u can with Jap cars. currently, if u read JPJ's rules n regulation, we can increase more than 25% but need to apply from Kawal Selia. The main things is not to make any modification on the mountings. also things like suspension, brake system and other safety issue need to be address as well. ie: UPGRADE!!!

the thing that we cant upgrade is for Proton only. hehe

btw, topui...always lepak at chop shop ah...by any chance u have seen any A32 stuffs like spoilers, bodykits etc. if yes, pls let me know okie. thanks...

RM 13k is a bit too high for me...i was hoping to get something less than 10k...
Can check for me if they willing to let go at less than 10k??
Who knows,...since this model is quite cold in the market...
they may want to throw and get some cash...

As for JPJ...pandai pandai lah...
there was a saying...
do anything you like but don't get caught...
who's going to measure your bore & stroke anyway??

think of ur love one.... if want to convert, made sure it is done legally....

otherwise, it will void all the insurance cover.... not worth to take the risk :thumpdown

I heard some skillful sifu can copy your original engine number onto the new engine...nicely done!
Accident case...normally they don't check seriously into engine number...Can keep the original engine...just in case...
Only thing to avoid is the Puspakom inspection...

So long as the car is yours legally (not stolen one), I think there shouldn't be any problem...

Can also keep the original engine till you want to sell the car then fix it back...unless the new owner is willling to carry on with the trick...

Sh*t!! I thought I said this shouldn't be discussed in an open forum......
Never mind,cos I know many people already doing this...

Ong & Lawcc...
Does this give you any hint??...
...especially when you feel you are losing the power after switching to 2.5L...

item no.3 - r u referring to the front sensor??

item no.4 - is it the light at the bumper as per attached image?

I wish to keep my 3.0l engine, but due to storage issue, have to dispose off cheap cheap RM500 to chop-shop.

Next time due to any reason (who knows the road tax may be normalised) want back the 3.0l engine, definetely won't be able to get back the engine as beauty as mine already...

What to do...can't have good thing from both world!

Ong is lucky, can get FREE storage space from his mechanic.

Item 3 is not only front sensor...Front & rear sensor only with audio warning but this one come with visual and audio warning...

Descriptions at Nissan web-site :
Sensor Indicative Unit
A display unit incorporated into the system acts as a visual warning with indication of left and/or right approaching objects, an audible warning is activated only when the approaching object reaches the minimum allowable distance. (Brougham VIP 3.0 only)...image attached...

Item 4 is like the one in the photo but I don't know whether yours has the cornering light connected to the signal lights...
cos I heard 2.0L and 3.0L having different bumper fog-lights...
