Types of SSS

[samuelschick]

i personally think the build quality for sss is better if you compare with 1.5 ss. especially the welding part. yeah, mine is due to stone chip but there's some case which the windscreen cracked by itself when parking under a hot sun, happened to my friend's sss

 

[maui303q]

Hmm.. i supposed the welding is better due the the fact that it is a SSS.. Cracked windscreen by itself is probably due to having foreign materials inside the windscreen during manufacturing.. happened to my friend's myvi.. rear screen.
I'm in the process of getting the documentations done for this white unit posted on mudah. 09 auto. Hope things turns out as what i hope for.
Btw, any other things i should know about this car? fuel consumption etc.. all of you guys still on RON 97? How's the damage for the pocket?

09 auto?
hope you read the car spec ( comparing Auto vs Manual ) before you made this decision...

 

[maui303q]

Yeah.. read about it.. Seems quite a distance in terms of performance..
I can't live with manual i want a swift but something more powerful than the 1.5 version..

 

[samuelschick]

bro, sss + proper manual gearbox is the most awesome combination and yes the performance difference is huge due to sss auto share the same gearbox with 1.5 swift. i'm still on ron97, sometimes i did mix with ron 95 thou when the kiosk only carries ron 95. fuel consumption the best i managed to get was 480km until the warning light came out but that's only my long distance journey to kelantan. city drive normally around 380km average per full tank on ron 97.

Hmm.. Making me think twice about getting the auto SSS auto now.. The 09 unit is reserved at the moment.. Any nice unit on sale now that belongs to one of the members? Manual also can.. Would like to try the manual one see if my kopi o lisence still can Pakai or not.. Hehehe

mine 1 around 450 km/tank...city driving with light foot....fuel type= Ron 97

 

[maui303q]

How many liters of RON 97 for 450 km?

 

[samuelschick]

guess u already saw the sss for sale in swiftclubmalaysia forum, the freen's car is tip top with a nice set of tanabe coilovers. know him personally, a nice friendly guy.

 

[ckyee22]

Approximately 36 liters per 450km or 0.232sen/km

Yeap.. saw the car.. manual.. abit 'kick' jerked a few times when i tested it but lucky didn't stall

36l@450km is reasonable.. and i heard RON 95 no problem which makes it even more economical to run if sacrifice the performance a little :slug:

 

[kasher83]

own a PI(JDM) grey SSS(ZC31) manual for more than 3 years...
No problem so far at all...
did no mod at the moment even though deres lots of poisons available...
Seriously if ure looking for power this car is not for you cos the power is not much to brag...
But the handling is good which makes the car fun to drive...
For your information,the SSS recommended ron is at least 98ron to accommodate to the 11.1:1 compression ratio.
Due to the high CR and close gear ratio, FC depends on ure driving pattern cos at 100km/h ure rpm will hover between 3300-3500rpm...
Hope this help..
Thank you...

 

[maui303q]

Sorry.. what's a PI(JDM) SSS and what's the difference between yours and others? Issit the one with the electronic air con? I heard there's only one in Malaysia and its yellow..

Yeah, I've tested out the power.. consider ok ok only (Think its as good or slightly better or worse than my 1.8 sentra which is slightly modded).. response wise should be good since its high RPM engine.

I need more feedback on the RON 95 usage of this car as if one day when RON 97 is really not affordable then can decide to feed the car or feed myself.. haha..

Based on rough calculation.. this car should be able to do average 12km/l which is better than my current which only averages 10km/l

 

[kasher83]

Here in S'pore we can buy cars From Authorised dealer(AD) or Parallel Import(PI).
The difference is tat PI cars will be sold strictly with the JDM specs...
For example
Two airbags instead of six
Digital aircon climate control instead of conventional knobs
Touchscreen stereo instead of build in stereo
Theres no stereo control on the steering wheel
Speedcut- topspeed is capped at 180km/h(all japanese cars are capped at 180km/h in japan)
etc,,,
S'pore i use ron 98(V power)
i guess in malaysia is ron 97(V power)
Used it b4 and it cause lots of knocking...
For your Info...
In japan they even have ron 101 at their pump...
Amazing..

 

[maui303q]

Oh.. Singapore.. Ok. Get what you mean.. Ron 97 cause knocking? I heard some here using ron95 even.. I'm also planning to try Ron 95 occasionally once getting it. Ron101 in japan eh.. Yeah I heard they have at Least ron99

 

[kenkenkenkenkenken]

pls dont get a AT sss... its not much faster compared to the normal 1.5

 

[maui303q]

yea.. Manual is the way to go..
BTW, got one question which is bugging my mind.. Since the manual gear is close ratio, say 120km h @ 4k rpm. how's the car taking it? I may require to travel outstation from time to time in this SSS
Nowadays most cars would be roughly 3.2k RPM @ 120km h but this fella is hitting 4k RPM.. say long distance to Penang.. can I manage a constant speed of 120-130km h the whole stretch? that would be like dragging the engine to 4k++ RPM for 3 hrs!

 

[samuelschick]

I'm sure everyone who owns a swift sport agree that this fella need a 6th gear, always cruising at 4k rpm. used to it already.

 

[samuelschick]

so have you gotten your Swift Sport yet bro maui303q ?

 

[maui303q]

Bro.. mission failed.. decided to take other car...
