Nissan Grand Livina (aka Livina Geniss) [ARCHIVED]

[jb2010]

Bro buti ka pa nakapag out of town ka na, ako antipolo palang pinaka malayo na napuntahan namin ni GL..

How about city driving, ano FC mo? And what gasoline are you using?

oo nga sir, hehehe, summer kasi at naiinip si mrs sa bahay pag weekend, panay yaya ng byahe. Ginaya ko si sir chualie sa fuel and right now i'm using seaoil extreme 97, meron din kasi malapit na seaoil sa amin, medyo convenient. Napansin ko rin parang mas maganda nga hatak kapag sa extreme 97, opinion ko lang ha, although wala akong ibang data about that fuel sa ngayon, kung maganda ba yon sa engine ng GL, etc, sinubukan ko lang . Right now, ganon pa rin yung FC ko, roughly 10 kms/liter city driving, AC is set at 1 and most of the time ako lang ang nakasakay. The same nga rin FC ko for hiway driving, haven't really tried 'pure' hiway driving. Out of town trips ko include traffic din sa start ng byahe, several 'jingle', convenience store, at photo op stops wherein engine is running while parked, heavy load ng GL (6adults + 1 toddler), at high AC setting, usually sa no. 3. Siguro when they said that GL averages 12 km/l city driving, baka below 100 lbs test driver non, malamig ang weather, naka-off A/C, at light lang ang traffic.

Ask ko rin yung mga naunang nakabili ng GL. May gradual increase ba sa fuel efficiency ng GL, or kung ano yung fuel efficiency mo when you got the unit, basically unchanged na?

thanks!

Hi Guys, I just like to share about the FC of our Livi. Yes its true that FC is dependent on several factors like engine size, vehicle load, correct tire pressure, traffic conditions and driving habit. All this in considerations (and my driving habit mostly is a bit enthusiastic), my FC is between 8km/liter to 8.5km/liter.

2 weeks ago we had our 10k pms. I opted for a fully synthetic oil (recommended oil from NMPI - Nissan Elf Z Charge). I noticed a drammatic improvement on my fc from 8.5km to 10km/liter. Maybe its the more superior lubricating properties of the synthetic oil as compared to regular oil we used to have on our GL. I had my full tank this morning and now practicing a more conservative driving habit - staying at 2000 rpm maximum at most times. I noticed that Automatic transmission shifts every time the rev needle reaches at 2000 rpm. I also noticed that I can reach 100km/h at just 2000rpm (2100 -2200 on inclined planes), hopefully, i could get a better mileage than 10km/liter this time. I will post again the next time we gas up and got the mileage reading.

this is just based on my observations and I am no mechanic that would have technical data. just sharing

tungkol sa audio naman ng ating GL:

ilang inches yung oem speakers natin sa harap at sa likod, 5.25", 6", 6.5"? anong brand sya? may passive x-over ba sya or naka-series lang yung tweeter?

anong brand din yung oem 2din hu? may aux-in or usb option ba sa likod?

kung sakaling papalitan yung hu, ano at pano babklasin yung panel?

tia!

yung mga speakers ng mid-variant puro coaxial lang pwera lang kung yung bluish black ang unit mo. yun meron atang tweeter. yung ibang mid variant wala. ang size nya is 6.5". yung tinangal sa GL namin 40watts ang rating pero since coax lang bitin ang tunog. di ko lang matandaan anong brand sya, parang nissan lang ata nakalagay sa likod.

yung head unit nya walang rca, aux or usb option. pati yung sa antenna nya hindi standard ang terminal. nagpalit ako ng HU saka speakers last weekend kaya nakita ko. ginawan pa nila ng adapter yung speakers kasi built-in sa speakers yung pinaka adapter nya. single DIN lang pinakabit ko pero may binebenta din yung shop na pocket para paglagyan ng extra usb saka ipod/iphone. ang layo ng tunog sa stock audio!

madali lang pala baklasin yung panel. may mga 6 to 8 clips dun sa may black or wood grain sa panel. hinila paunti unti yung unang clips pero yung iba dinaan na nung installer sa dahas. hehehe. maingat naman yung pag tangal nya.

una double din dvd sana gusto ko ikabit since umorder ako thru amazon tapos pina door to door ko sa kapatid ko. half lang kasi price nung pioneer sa states compared dito. pero sa innova na lang namin ikakabit since mas madalas pag long trips yun ang ginagamit namin. yun lang nga, nagiipon uli ako para naman pang palit sa speakers ng innova. jbl yung kinabit ko sa GL, separates sa harap saka 2 way sa likod. ganun din sana pakabit ko sa innova kaya mag ipon muna ako para sa speakers.

* Eggy reyes -- sir yun mid variant ng gl can not read mp3 disk and 4 lang ang speakers nya yun elegance can read mp3 disk and can store 6 disk inside th HU hence 6 ang speakers nya. For both units ng gl walang aux in sa likod ng HU. Yun po ang pag kaka alam ko.

If ever na papalitan nyo po yun HU nyo babaklasin po yun center panel kung san nakalagay yun HU (Silver plastic molding). D naman sya complicated baklasin kasi nakita ko nung nagpalit ako ng HU. Sa banawe ko lang pinagawa and ok naman.

*Alnr- Sir nasa akin yun Original Headunit ng GL ko, yun 6 disc loadable that can read mp3 disk. Let me know if your interested.

sir interested lalo na kung mura lang at mukhang barndnew pa! wag san presyong pioneer ha! you may reach me at 09178174734 or simply pm me.

yung livina ko po kahit luxury (mid variant) may tweeter na rin (6 speakers). di ko alam ba't ganun.

[eggy_reyes]

ano pala recommended na matting para sa GL natin bukod dun sa oem na carpet? gusto ko kasi yung sukat talaga at madaling i-maintain.

saan nyo nabili yung sainyo at magkano?

[blooperoo]

share ko lang

yung livina ko po kahit luxury (mid variant) may tweeter na rin (6 speakers). di ko alam ba't ganun.

eto yung isang reason bakit ako nakipagaway sa sales agent. kasi yung bluish black na dapat kukunin namin may tweeter pero since sabi nila matatagalan maibigay sa amin (dahil may minor recall last october) steel grey na lang pinili namin since kailangan na namin ng sasakyan after ondoy. sabi nya pati yung s. grey may tweeter din pero pag kuha ko wala. pareho lang naman binayaran namin so sabi ko bakit ganun? marami pang kwento na horror sa pag bili namin ng GL pero buti na lang talaga maganda yun sasakyan.

btw, nag launch na ng bagong nissan sentra pareho ng sentra sa US. launched last thurs sa tent sa the fort. gusto ko sana pumunta pero may ibang lakad. wala pa akong nakikita sa kalsada. meron na ba sa inyo?

[eggman]

I guess yun mid variant na new model/colors (2010) meron na din tweeter.
