Welcome to the forums.
New to the forum - JDM Nissan Tiida (Latio)
7
Hey folks,
New member from Trinidad and Tobago (in the Caribbean)!
I drive a JDM Nissan Tiida. The car is a nov 2004 model ....and was sourced as a used car directly from the Japanese market (used import) some years aback (around late 2006).
As the name implies, it's beige.
No mods or anything really planned, since the car is intended for daily duty.
Not sure what the other markets get, but this car has:
1) Auto A/C (climate control?)
2) HID headlights (OEM)
3) 1.5 HR15DE w/ CVT trans
4) emergency brake (handbrake?) mounted in the footwell.

I'm from Trinidad too! But I live in Canada. Glad to see another Trini on the forums 
lol
I think I've seen some other guys from Trinidad but from the other forums, unless I'm mistaken.
But nice car and welcome to the forums! Doing any other mods to your car?

Hello welcome to the forums
Thanks again for the warm welcome folks!
This Tiida is primarily for daily traffic duty etc.
It's a fantastic car, and the CVT is quite a hoot to drive all things considered.
My only gripe is that jeez....the seat padding has gone flat! Now, I tried to have it re-upholstered, but it hasn't helped.
Anyone ever fit aftermarket seats in this thing?
No mods to the car really. I have two other cars which fit the bill in that regardI'm from Trinidad too! But I live in Canada. Glad to see another Trini on the forums

^^Hey there, I'll see how best I can organize some pics for you today. But yes, unlike other cars where you have the emergency brake as a hand brake behind the shifter, this has a footwell mounted pedal that you press to engage the "handbrake".
I just have a storage area where the handbrake "should" be.
Honda Streams in our country come with that setup as well. Weird.

Car is doing over 90,000 km (that's like what....56000 miles?). I purchased the car like a month ago from a family member, so I haven't put those miles on it myself

Hey danilo, I took some pics. My phone isn't helping the cause here, but I do hope they get the idea across.
Here's you guys would have a "normal" handbrake in the Versa. My tiida gots nothing there lol

The "handbrake" / "e-brake" pedal is on the left.

Yeah the pedals need to be cleaned, I know!
And no, that ain't a clutch pedal - car's automatic (well, CVT)!
Here's another thing....do the USDM CVT cars have the "Sport" button on the gearshifter?
My car has an "S" button, right there the std automatic Tiida's have the Overdrive button.
Switching "on" the Sport mode causes the car to jump to 3.5-4.5k rpm depending on speed.....which is pretty much having the car maintaining higher ratios for better acceleration (no big deal).
Do the USDM cars have that? Or do they call it "Overdrive" in the states?

Yep Chuckie has his e-brake on the floor to the left also. I haven't noticed where Dave's is.
