I'm from brazil! I just bought my new tiida 1.8 S automatic. i'm luvin it.

I changed the stock 185 tires and putted Bridgestones 205/60. It looks better and the handling as well.

It's with only 200 miles completed. The manual says that i shouldn't rev it up to more than 4000 rpm during the first 1200 miles.
I'm holding my foot. haha

As we know, the "S" version (mine) don't came with the f*ckin armrests and i decided to buy it on ebay, it appears to be good.
Hope the guy on ebay send it as soon as possible.

Armrest info is available on this thread: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=250211

I have one installed and it seem to be fine, but the hinge is not quite as beefy as a stock armrest. Just don't flip it open hard and it should be fine.

I prefer to use it always closed, just as "armrest"!

U have pictures of yours installed??

My Tiida is in fact a american Versa with the worldwide name.

The brazilian Tiida come from Mexico, exactly the same place of your Versa.. My Tiida is in fact a american Versa with the worldwide name.

How long has the Tiida been in Brazil? Though I saw quite a few Honda Fits, I don't remember seeing ANY Nissans (or a Nissan dealership) last time I was down in SP.

Since july/07!

There is a few Tiidas at brazilian streets yet. Mainly in SP.

But nissan is very strong here with the small trucks Frontier.

Nissan is in Brazil since 1998 and installed the first Renault/Nissan factory in the world in 2001. Producing Megane, Frontier and Xterra.

For sure.. but it will be very difficult to get these badges(or any nissan part) in my dealer. They don't have anything i want, like fog lights, armrest. There is only one Nissan dealer in my city/state.

But i will go there soon at the 1000 miles revision and i can ask if they have it..

Do u want the "TIIDA" badge right?

Quick install. Just mounts in the front cupholder behind the e-brake handle. 4 screws for the base and then four more for the armrest. A Must Have item in my book.

apperantly, a tiida in S trim comes with stock alloys?
or were the alloys optioned?

nice choice!

The Brazilian standard versions:

S - 1.8 manual or auto, 15" alloys, Remote keyless entry, Power door locks, Power windows with driver one-touch auto-up/down, Door armrest pad, Rear door pockets, Overhead sunglass storage and front map lights, Driver and passenger visor vanity mirror with strap, Glove compartment light, electric side mirrors and driver's airbag.

SL - adds to S version, digital air conditioning, front and rear armrests, 60/40 Split fold-down rear seatbacks, sunroof, leather seats, fog lights, ABS and double airbag.

New pics at the top!

Looks like you also got tinted windows. Did you add that or does it come standard because of the hot climate? I just had two guys start working here in my office in Minnesota that are from Sao Paulo. Both are named Bruno.

I thought they did better with the fake papers thing .... j/k

I know this is completely random, but last night I was talking to a friend about when we lived in Salvador. Anyway, the stadium that is in Cajazeiras is the Barradão, right? And Vitória plays there?

thanks in advance

yeah i keep checking out ebay for the "TIIDA" badge but i can never seen to find any more, ive seen them a couple times

from:

I think either they say Nissan or Versa

Oh the random stuff that eBay offers... Here's a question... why are they combining Dongfeng and Nissan?

China doesn't have a huge number of (successful) auto companies, and the ones that are (this one included) are government-backed. This means a lot in a pseudo-communist country.

By the way, thanks for the welcome!

I'm sure that it is in China. Chinese is all about using words to create images. I'm sure that their marketing people have seriously overplayed all 'east wind' references imaginable.

The stadium is Barradão and Esporte Clube Vitória plays there.. But it's a poor 3rd world stadium. The neighborhood is not exactly "Cajazeiras" it's in "Pau da Lima", it's a suburban area, very poor neighborhood.

The biggest stadium in Salvador is "Fonte Nova" and it's public. Esporte Clube Bahia played there but it will be demolished. They will construct a new one in the same place for the 2014 World Cup (soccer).

BTW, you lived here doing what exactly? I see a lot of north americans here in Salvador but they were missionaries, many times in Mc Donalds. haha!

for all you that want the tiida badge i can get some here...its easier if you live on the country that make them..:P

Yeah, I heard about the accident at the Fonte Nova. It'll be good to have a new one built.

The color of my car is "Beige Sandstone", i prefer to call it "Gold"!

I need to ask u how much is in Mexico the front armrest (center console)?

Here in Brazil it cost something like USD 580. I bought it from ebay, but it doesn't have the same quality. If i had a chance to get the genuine for a fair price i will be very pleasant.
