Hey guy I've got a Nissan N16 ii (N17) 1.3 Manual 2003.
There was an issue with the ECU and 2 cylinders were not firing properly. The garage told that the ECU is damaged and I replaced it. ( This was about 2 years ago, and the car isn't used much.) I replaced it and it was alright I didn't notice any issues back then. Not sure about fuel economy because I didn't use the car. After the Ecu was replaced the car was left without use for around an year.
Recently I've found out that the ECU is from an Auto version and it gives a P0600 Error when scanned. But when replacing the ECU we tried out different ECUs and the automatic ones didn't even start the car, I thought this was a manual ECU.
However I was wrong, and the car has some performance delay when going at around 3k rpm, for example when accelerating under normal gas the rpm would stop at 3k for around 2 seconds then it would advance higher. And the only way to make it go above 3k sometimes is to downshift and rev harder.
The main issue is that the fuel consumption is higher than normal, I haven't been using this car for a long time (Locked up in a garage at granny's) but when I started using this again (4 months) I felt the fuel consumption is really high even if babied out (6kpl Colombo with AC). The MAF failed and fuel pump failed I replaced both of them as well.
Last week I went to get my emissions certificate and realised the ECO test was failed and the fuel told me theres a lot of fuel wasted. I did tune ups about 2 months back when I started to use this car. But the fuel consumption isn't fixed and the rpm issue either.
Is there a way to get my old Factory ECU fixed so that I can be still using that ECU instead of the Automatic one installed? Is there a trusted place to get this fixed?
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
