Any advice guys?

hi all, can anyone clarify?

Hi All, I have a question regarding the rule that after transferring a vehicle you have to register with 14 days and if you failed to do so you will be fined 100 rupees per day. This fine has a limit right.? As per Motor Traffic (Amendment) Act, No. 8 of 2009 Section 11;(which is latest i guess) (3) a: A registered owner who fails to inform the Commissioner-General of the change of possession within fourteen days shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not less than three thousand rupees and not exceeding six thousand rupees. b: The new owner of a motor vehicle who fails to apply within fourteen days after change of possession to be registered as the new owner shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not less than one hundred rupees for each day after the fourteenth day up to the forty fourth day of such failure. c: The new owner of a motor vehicle who fails to apply within forty four days after change of possession to be registered as the new owner shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not less than five thousand rupees and not exceeding ten thousand rupees. If a new owner doesn't transfer the vehicle within 2 years, his maximum fine will be Rs. 10,000 right?

..Hi all thanks for the replies...await for a new update on my march

just sharing prices of following i found in Ja ela and negombo. But prices are for 175/70R14, might not vary much for 185 Falken (Thailand) -10,000-- Ja ela GT champiro-(indonesia)-8,500---negombo GT China-7,600---negombo Kumho ( South Korea)-8,000---negombo considering above i think Kumho is a good bargain as they are from Korea. what do you think?

Hi all, What would be the cost of replacing air bags of a 2002 Nissan March BK-12 which has 6 air bags(2 curtains, 2 front side and front driver & passenger) . I just want to know for insurance purpose if i had to replace all if i meet an accident. Also want to know the best place to buy in case.. i thought only Agents has this(A*W)

caltex texamatic is 2950 and BP Autran as posted by Don earlier is 3200. Mobil 1 litre is 1100 which i think is very expensive

Hi all, if you know any other less expensive Multi purpose auto gear oil (full synthetic) brands which confirms to latest standards (eg: dexron vi , Nissan matic-J/S )please mention the brand and place to buy with the price... this will be helpful for all to buy affordable quality products

Do i have to clean the transmission oil filter for a complete clean up of the system.? Some say that when you remove the pan there is a filter there to remove the contaminants. pls advise.

hi car madness , thanks for the reply. actually I did the flush method through exchange machine at laughfs car care. But still some people generally suggest to do a manual change by removing the pan and to clean the filter which might contain contaminants / dirt which I didn't do. I want to know whether there is a transmission filter. but flush method removes almost all of old oil whereas manual will leave abt 1.5 ltrs of old oil. I used havoline atf-j which is compatible with nissan matic-j recommended for March K12.

are there anyone to help?

Agree with you DON. Always read the recommended type on the ATF dipstick.You do not have to always use car manufacturer branded oil coz as a matter of fact we know that they don't blend oil. Use a good brand of equivalent oil for the ATF. I have no relationship with Chevron. However, for my Nissan March ATF, compared to Nissan Matic J recommended, Havoline ATF-J was nearly half the price. havoline ATF-J which is sold in Sri lanka is produced in Thailand and exported to even Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia (as per the label on back) it's compatible in following specifications. I don't think i have to remind that Chevron (which owns Havoline brand) is the 3rd largest company in USA. Also Chevron is one of the six supermajor Oil companies. We can expect a equivalent or better product from them. No promotion for Chevron here , but i get better value for money with quality product. Havoline ATF- J Applications: just FYI Automatic transmissions in the following Japanese passenger cars and light trucks: Toyota (including Lexus) Isuzu Nissan Subaru Mitsubishi Suzuki Honda Daihatsu Mazda • Korean passenger cars: Hyundai Kia GM Daewoo • Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) where fitted to passenger cars of engine capacity less than 2.0L • 5-speed automatic transmissions in most European passenger cars (BMW, MercedesBenz, VW/Audi, Jaguar) • Suitable for service fill in automatic transmissions requiring DEXRON®-III, MERCON(®)or MERCON® V fluids. Performance standards JASO M315 Type 1-A Suitable for use where the following fluid specifications are recommended: • Toyota T IV • Nissan Matic J • Mitsubishi Diamond SP III • Honda ATF-Z1

Hi Clark. thanks for the opinion. By the way I use BK12 1.4L version not the AK12. I also had great strides with popular cars with my friends. Especially i love the way of handling E36s and IS200s. Anyway compared to them especially the price what i like about March is the way of handling EPS and maintenance cost of rough use. Anyway I guess you purchased this the year it was introduced 2002. I know colombo traffic sucks . but anyway ha ha u dont have to do hypermiling to get that...I just shared this for people who might be helpful...

Hi, i recently changed my Nissan March K12 automatic gear oil using the flush method using an ATF exchange machine at laughfs car care centre. But they didn't remove the pan and clean any filter. I want to know whether K12 got a transmission oil filter? Is it compulsory to clean.? Also I haven't seen any instruction to clean any transmission oil filter in service manual.

use 3M fuel system cleaner. you will get better mileage
