N 16 Super Saloon

[M navy]

Could be. In that case I think those panels come in silverish colour?

i have n 17 super saloon 2003 brand new.it doesn't have teak panels...but as per my knowledge n17 bluebird silphy comes with teak panels.

N16 is too heavy for a 1.3 engine. IMO 1.6 engine should be the best. Have a 1.5 one and it performes well. Once got the opportunity to drive a 1.3 and it was a real pain to overtake anythng. <img src="http://forum.autolanka.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/angry-smiley-024.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="angry-smiley-024.gif" /> I think it burns too much fuel due to the same reason.

If you thinking of one go for a 1.5 or better 1.6 one.

totally agree with u dude...

wrong ...its a must for a blubird sylphy to have teak panels...supper saloon does not come with teak panels...

[M navy]

i did some research on this..

the 1300cc has relativley good pulling power..

some frinds in Kandy told that that they very wel negotiate the hills even with 5 ppl..

im talking abt general use..

so, i believe there isnt much of difference..in 1300cc and 1500cc..in DAY TODAY LIFE..

however, the 1500cc is abt RS 75,000 more than the 1300cc

in 1300cc, manual has bettr pulling power than auto tho..

what do u guys think?open for discussion..

wrong do not buy 1300cc.PULLING POWER IS LESS DEFINITELY..ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR N16/N17.

[M navy]

ppl say there are issues in the 1.3 engine?

they say less pulling power and low resale value..in 1.3 engine..

by the way can someone tell me the difference between ex saloon and super saloon pls?im clueless!

is it true?

SEE DUDE...ILL TELL U..

this power antenna,rpm meter etc are crap...it depends..i have n17 super saloon 1600cc(2003 brand new)..it does not have power antenna,climate control a/c..these things depends..

but ill tell you how to find out..

super saloon must have dual aid bags + rear headrests and arm rest...

ex saloon does not have this things...

i have noticed this..this is common for all nissan n16 and n17..so use this...

Wrong. Some N16 super saloons comes with teak panels.

[M navy]

Wrong. Some N16 super saloons comes with teak panels.

then that may be the luxury edition...

not all super saloon comes with teak panels...

some one had told that all super saloon comes with teak panels and ex saloon does not have teak panels...

what i told is teak panels cant be used to differentiate ex saloon and super saloon.

1300 or even 1500 engine is not enough for this size. I think 1800 cc engine shall be the minimum for this size cars.

[M navy]

1300 or even 1500 engine is not enough for this size. I think 1800 cc engine shall be the minimum for this size cars.

i don't agree...i have 1600 and is has a perfect pulling power...i think even 1500 is enough...people who own 1500?any comments?

I'm using 1.6 manual Supper Saloon for about 4 years mine is 2003 Brandnew 1, this is my 2nd car, early one was Toyota 110 (1998), my experience is N16 is better than 110 in acceleration, power, comfortably and saloon space, only problem i went thru was i had 2 replace lower arm bushes once for two years and engine tuneup for twice for whole period(I think those are regular maintenance) otherwise its a fine car for me no trouble at all

[The Don]

I think here is the issue that seems to have been missed out. The key things to consider is weight, power and torque of the engine. First and foremost engine capacity helps in giving an idea of torque and power but engine design means that it is not an absolute indicator. For example modern engines have much more torque at lower rpms and overall power (measured as break horse power BHP) than older generation engines simply because of technological innovations. Also you can design an engine to deliver more torque but the power figures on paper could be less, and I can go on and on for a while.

So the key things to consider is how heavy is the car, how much power does the power plant produce and how much maximum torque does it deliver, rather than discuss 1300CC 1500CC 1800CC etc etc, if you want to know what is best suited for a particular car.

I had a J series N16 (2001) Sunny EX Saloon which had Teak panels. Why anyone would care as much as you guys about teak panels is beyond me, but there you go.

The SuperSaloon 1.6 is a powerful enough car for Sri Lanka road use. I've been using a 2000 SuperSaloon 1.6l for a couple of years and it is a very comfortable drive. The lower arm 'bushes' are an issue - but if you're buying one, expect to replace the entire lower arm - not just the "bushes" like the member stated earlier as you'll have a recurring issue but fortunately you'll likely need to do that only every few years.

The best feature of this car IMO is spares. Spares are easy and cheap to come by. During the Nov '10 floods, some water got into my alternator. I pulled it out, took it to my electrical garage. He took the top part from mine, took the bottom part from another busted one, he sanded and welded and it works fine.

...and like to add that the rear seat legroom is somewhat insufficient especially when travelling long distances. And apart from the suspension related issues and fuel consumption the n16 is a reliable ride. And a good looking car too.

I have the front seat right back, my friend sitting behind had to accommodate the back of the front seat in between his legs! He had odd-looking cramps at the end of the journey hehe

the n16 face lift (n17) is better looking than the n16 imho.

Guys, there is another failure in the dashboard cubbyhole cover of N16 car, it cracks if long time exposed to sunlight and then breaks, i've seen this in several cars, i also lost it and searching for one but it seems 2 b very expensive as 15-18k even a used one , i cant understand why the hell this small part is such expensive,

Guys if somebody has gone through the same matter please reply and if you could find that bloody part for a lesser price please let me know....
