Nissan Teana Experience

[Cicj]

Over here, 250 xv can have a sunroof as an option with added money.

 

Luminto, is your teana still under warranty?

 

Asked to speak to a "Factory Technician". Every dealer usually has 1 factory technician and 10-20 other mechanics. Speak to him as he will be able to make a better decision as to what to replaced.

[Luminto]

yes sure, it's just bought 3 months ago :(

nissan technician will for sure help .... even they plan to change the whole sunroof system.

frankly speaking i'm just so curious why this can happen for a new car :)

i realize nothing is perfect but how nissan qc is? :)

anyway .. thanks for your advise and response :)

Hi Guys, I am starting a facebook page for Teana and Cefiro Owners in Singapore to share ideas and thoughts.

A quick question here. when you guys park your cars. Still in drive, forward forward forward.... hit the brakes. Move shift lever from D to P, let out the brakes. Does sometiimes during the last step, your car move? This is on a flat surface. First car I have that does this. After releasing that final brake from P, the car would "released from the gear" and allow free movement of about 1 inch back and forth.

 

this means you are using gearbox to lock the wheels..

 

to avoid this:

1) after car stop, shift to N

2) engage foot brake

3) wait until car stop shaking

4) off engine (optional)

5) move from N to P

guys, for 250xv in SG, it does not come with sunroof.

perhaps in other countries but definitely not in SG.

cheers.

guys,

is there anyone who ever use/install automatic door lock & automatic mirror retract for teana 250xv?

thank you

 

in SG, all teana will be given free automatic mirror retract but not tilt while reversing.

as for automatic door lock, just need to send to WS and change the setting from your car alarm system.

[Ladykillerz]

just put down a deposit for an used 3.5 teana.

Hope i didnt make the wrong decision

 

welcome to the Nissan family!

i reckon you will be enjoying the big v6 engine!

why do you need to change the rotor when teana braking is really good.

if you want to change, include the calipers, maybe 4pots will do better and enough.

Ya saw this car in another forum.

the GTR look not for me leh. Too fierce :)

4 pots (not-taiwan) quite ex leh.

Brake Calipers are for more braking force,changing disc rotor & pads will NOT really improve braking very much,worse still more noise & dust during braking...anyway Teana not really a fast car,why need better brakes,stocks are enough.

Shanhz,

thanks for the tip. I'll try it out. But I dont quite understand your part 2. Engage foot brake. Since changing the gear you must already be on the brake. If you mean parking brake, personal opinion, dont like to use it when the brakes are still hot as the disc pads will be squeezed on the rotor.

 

Yea brakes no need to change, the stock ones are excellent, firm and powerful braking power. Not like other cards, quite hard to brake. Bumpers definitely and rims should change.

Another upgrade is to install more sound dampening/deadening into the car. Although it already has some foam on the bottom side, but the doors and B pillars could use the sound deadening as well. The bottom side they use about 1-2 inches thick poly foam with added weight from the carpet to compress. Then car suuuuuuuuper quiet xD

 

My teana, 6 months old now. The steering wheel, when move left and right, some rubber grinding noise. Wonder what it is, definitely on the instrument panel.

 

Overall great car design and engineering, but not to sure about the quality checks, definitely doesn't pass there. A car can be designed and engineered very well, but if the mechanics dont install it properly and test for quality as it was meant to be, then it's not a great car. >.>

bro, i meant parking brakes. if you dun like to do this, then you risk damaging your gearbox (you are using the P gear to lock the wheels when you feel the car rocking). so you decide which one u wan to damage - GB or rotors.

 

i read that the sound proof on the teana is quite good already. are you being picky than normal? I am beo-ing the teana for my next car. quietness ranks very high on my list. next other option is camry. heard that it's very quiet due to the lessons learnt from lexus. currently driving crv.. super noisy

[Shanhz]

am looking at teana 2.5 V6. agree that camry on its own is a very competitive car. but comparing 2.4 camry to 2.5 teana, teana has got V6 engine and aircon seats (the only exec class jap car with these features!). not to mention the comfi legrest for passenger. so it's a no brainer. as long as it's as quiet as camry. win hands down. :)
