Welcome to Cefiro Club Malaysia

hi John...welcome on board...
i believe the main reason for diff size of tires r due to the diff size of d rims. usually its wider @ the back wheels. im using 19"x8.5JJ front n 19"x9.5JJ rear.

hence, my front tires is smaller than my rear tires (245 compare to 265)

if u r not into handling and look wise, then 16" is ur choice. comfort is there. with 18", u have more control in terms of handling but sacrifice comfort.

never heard of Bolzano rims. sorry....

Hi brother, thanks for your reply.
I think i will change back to 16" rim. the ori for 16"is 215/55; Any idea for 17" rim (215/50); Does 17" provides good comfort?

Does anyone of you guys know how to increase the overall power of the V6 2000 without heavily change?

Thanks again for all your info.

bro..for comfort..nothin beats the stock 15"...

as for power...there r few things u can try.
1) Change to K&N air filter
2) Change Iridium Spark plugs
3) Use fully syn engine oil/gear oil
4) Change ur Y-pipe and de-cat ur catalytic converter

Thanks Ong.
But how much all these cost?
I am driving a 2002 cefiro 2.0

Besides, does this increase the FC?
Any idea what is the FC for VQ20DE?

 

[ongteckweng]

bro...when power increase, ur power to weight ratio also better. in theory, FC should be better unless u right right is heavier after the mods...hehehe

rough costin:
1) Change to K&N air filter - RM300
2) Change Iridium Spark plugs - RM300
3) Use fully syn engine oil/gear oil - RM190/4l engine oil. ATF varies
4) Change ur Y-pipe and de-cat ur catalytic converter - RM300 to RM500

Thanks for your precious recommendations Bro Ong.

Hi guys, i have some questions for RIM; does anyone know the following?

1. What does this means: 6.5JJ x 16 and some has 7.0JJ and 7.5JJ;?

2. What is P.C.D.; Offset abd C/Bore?

3. Does original 2002-Cefiro Rims are heavier then other Rim?

4. Any idea between Japan and Taiwan Rim? What is the different?

5. Where can I find some nice used 16" or 17" Rim?

Thanks.

Bro, with all these changed, how much additional percentage of power I will see?

 

[dream.tent]

Why not dyno your car before you change anything?
Then at least you know where you money goes to and which parts gives you the best payback?
I believe this two things can do on the Dyno run:
1) install Change to K&N air filter
Check on Dyno
2) Change Iridium Spark plugs
Check on Dyno

Hi Bro, thanks for all the info.

Just want to check with you again, what is the original rim's offset for 2002 cefiro?

If I wanna change to 17", does offset value (positive-; Zero-; negative-offset) play a significant role in handling, braking and comfort?

By the way, do you guys have any idea where I can find a good nissan mechanic (not TC la) in Cheras area? I am staying near Pandan Indah.


Regards.

 

[ongteckweng]

if not mistaken, 2002's 16" rims r 16"x7JJ +40. PCD 5x114.3

u need to find the right offset for ur ride so that it doesn't hit ur car's mudguard. for a33, i think u can try these offset if u want 17"

Front 17"x8JJ +30 to +40
Rear 17"x9JJ +38 to +45

it will improve road handling.

Hi Ong,

I am wondering if we change to 17", 18" or bigger wheel, does it affect the brake system / abs / suspension, etc?

Japanese or Taiwanese rim lighter?

Thanks.
