Hi all
Need someone's help to confirm the specs of the stock 15 inch Latio rim -  think its 4x100 ? What about the offset, centre bore and width ?

Is there any difference in specs between the Sports, Basic and Premium versions' rims ?

Thanks !

honestly, i got no idea. probably because no one has ever really bothered to find out as well.

and by stock 15" rims, which one are you referring to? and yes, ALL the version's rims are different. the only one worth keeping?

the impul 15" enkei.

this one, you've got me. i got no idea honestly.

probably +42 is a safe bet as i am assuming stock is usually +48. +42 will give you a slightly more flushed look.

So if we use the wrong offset, is there any impact or consequences that might happen ?

hmm, not really. prob the most obvious is slight increase in turning radius

Hello vypez,
Do you know if Latio has the OBD2 com port ? If yes do you know where is it located ? Thanks.

Vypez,

I read a few posts in the "My FC getting worse" thread and am a little confuse about the FC for Latio. Quite a few claimed that the FC actually drop. Can you comment on this? Or was it minority?

Thank you...

actually not to worry. humans control the car. depending on us, the car performs accordingly. of course, some factors do play a part such as outside temperature, road surfaces and such.

basically, what i am trying to say is fc really depends on you yourself. if you use 10w50 oil, dont expect fantastic fc. =]

Thanks for the prompt reply, Vypez.

My next question is about CVT. Read a thread that a few bros actually changed CVT.
If I am not wrong, Honda also withdrawn CVT in Jazz because CVT has too many issues.

Would you be able to comment about Nissan CVT? It's scary if the CVT breakdown after warranty.

Thanks in advance...

[vypez]

cvt is still unstable until now to be exact.

but no worries, my guess is probably you wont be keeping the car for more than 7 years and you're probably not using your latio for tracking.

why is using 10w50 oil the FC will be bad? 

[vypez]

why is using 10w50 oil the FC will be bad? 

because if you look at oil,

w30, w40, w50... is in terms of viscosity of the oil. meaning, the thickness. more protection, at the cost of more energy needed to power up.

understood bro? its like you walk in water and walk in mud. =]

Hi Vypez, a noob question. How do I know if the leather seats in my Latio (the new facelift) one is full leather or is synthetic leather?

So if we don't mind the FC, its better to use w50, right?
