Tiida/Versa parts and accessories

[22DSOSA22]

Does any one know any good sites??? i cant seem to find any. im trying to convert my versa into a tiida.. any help is appreciated!!!

[yunwoo]

OH my God !! you want to change the 1.8 Versa to 1.6 tiida ?

actually you can check the eBay and type in tiida versa, there is a lot. Also you can check the yahoo auction in cn or tw site (if you know chinese, mostly they won't ship to north america, you have to check it).

[KimberKenobi]

Can I note (once again) that there is a size difference in the front end of the TIIDA and the VERSA... the TIIDA is wider.

[lain]

The whole body of the Tiida is difference. Front, sides, fenders, back. Its all completly different. You are better off selling your Versa and getting a Tiida imported. Its very easy to do but might cost you...heh it will probably be the same price after shipping and everything....the same price as your Versa.

Converting over will cause too much headaches and stress...

Also you can't convert a Versa into a Tiida...in the end it still a versa.

[themadscientist]

that makes no sense. Are you sure? I can measure my wife's Tiida if someone wants to measure their Versa and see if that is true. I find it very difficult to believe that Nissan, even as retarded as they are, would make the cars that different. It makes no sense from a business perspective.

[lain]

Look at pictures for yourself. I don't know about the Tiida being wider, but I know all the body parts all around are different.

[KimberKenobi]

we've had people import front lips for the TIIDA and various other parts and the TIIDA parts are wider. Bob @ VersaSpeed even tried it.

Really.

[yunwoo]

So bad .... As I decide to ask my cousin to buy a front light kit for me in Taiwan..Which is a angel eyes Halo sport light Headlight kit for Tiida

[l80_240]

i like that, add HID and would be even better

[daffyack]

will that kits fit to Versa?

[yunwoo]

This kit is for Tiida. According to the above said, it should not fit to our Versa .

Does anyone know where can I find the angel eyes and Halo sport HeadLight Kit for Versa ?

[Ever Victorious]

Does anyone know where can I find the angel eyes and Halo sport HeadLight Kit for Versa ?

They don't exist. There are no aftermarket HIDs or halos for the Versa that are street legal in the US.

[lain]

They don't exist. There are no aftermarket HIDs or halos for the Versa that are street legal in the US.

But there are aftermarket HID's for the Versa. As for the halo's I havn't seen any nor have I looked but I'm sure you can make something.

[yunwoo]

aftermarket HIDs or halos for the Versa that are street legal in the US.

Excuse me , HID is not street legal in the US ?

[Ever Victorious]

Excuse me , HID is not street legal in the US ?

Only factory-installed HIDs are legal.

Replacement/aftermarket HID kits rarely if ever get DOT approval, and thus are illegal.

[yunwoo]

I see, so any mod of a car is not "allowed" . only OEM parts are let go.Thank you

[KimberKenobi]

several mods are "allowed" and legal. But HIDs must meet specific DOT requirements and would need to be approved for each vehicle they are fit to because they need to meet requirements on hight and bias and angle...

sigh. Why is this always such a big deal?

What is "allowed" and legal as far as performance parts/mods differs by state... Would depend on whether there is emissions testing and what sorts and thus and such.

My car is illegal in at least 1 state because it is covered in reflective decals. But it meets all DOT requirements and KRS in MY state, and that is what matters to me.

[Ever Victorious]

No, I didn't say that.

I said specifically aftermarked HIDs are not allowed.

CAIs are legal. exhausts (usually) are legal.

You have to check the local regulations for where you live to find out what mods are and are not legal. The majority of mods ARE legal. You just asked about one that, in most places (because I can't speak for Canada), is NOT legal.

hahahaha the only reason a tiida lip kit wouldn't fit a versa is because of front bumper is different! they have the same width! i wanna get the tiida front clip for my v. it should just be a bolt on kinda thing since they are both the same platform just different engines and names

[yunwoo]

Ok , don't worry. I just want to clear out the things .... Anyway , Versa is a short in history. Not much aftermarket stuffs, compare with tiida, like HUD, Tobe, Halo sport, angel eyes, rear rotor kits, front grill, ....... so bad

well , Ever Victorious, if I said any wrong, forgive me. honestly I learnt many things from you in the past thread, cher ...

[Ever Victorious]

Rear rotor kits for TIIDA...?

Do they come normally with drum or disc?

If they come with drums, DETAILS please! The rear drums over here are sadly lacking.

[KimberKenobi]

]hahahaha the only reason a tiida lip kit wouldn't fit a versa is because of front bumper is different! they have the same width! i wanna get the tiida front clip for my v. it should just be a bolt on kinda thing since they are both the same platform just different engines and names

Well, two of the items did not fit........the front spoiler and the turn signal add on for the side mirrors, these were for the Tiida but the front bumper skin is bigger ...

I've also heard from a few other modders who imported TIIDA parts that the front bumper on the TIIDA is wider. You are from California and don't even have a TIIDA. You start out your post by laughing, but unless you've molded a TIIDA lip kit to fit (which would be relatively easy if they are just shaped differently) you really have no reason to act like you KNOW. If it were just a simple re-mold, I'm sure Bob would have had it done. I do believe that it would need to be cut down in order to fit, unless you got the entire TIIDA bumper as well, but that brings in other problems... I can e-mail Bob and ask him to clarify... but in the meantime:

Madscientist, will you measure your bumper please!

Let's figure out what is going on, once and for all. (I am one who tends not to take someone's opinion unless I inspect something myself, so let's go to it.)

[James[vicious]]

ok but y would the front bumper be wider if the width of the vehicles are the same. I have done some research on it cuz i wanna put the tiida clip on my V. the width, height, and wheel base are the same so y not? and did the people trying to make a tiida lip kit fit have the front bumper of a tiida? its like getting a notch back and putting a silvia front end on it, your gonna need the whole package, fenders, hood, and so on. it is prolly gonna be the same with the versa for the use of jdm parts

[KimberKenobi]

In the US we have five mile an hour bumpers and the Tiida does not so in essence we have a larger bumper all around front and rear and why the grill and hood are different also. The Tiida front lower lip is a lot smaller then our Versa lower lip and when we tried to install the Tiida lip it was about ten inches to short and the lower lip has a slightly different shape then the Tiida so even if the length was okay it would not have fit snug to look good.

Also...

Going back to the Forum, I do read it and what is posted now I have either checked into or tried to do (rear disc brakes) or is already coming out (CF Hood) etc.. But on some things the costs would be too high or it would not work and when I mentioned these things in the forum there was always somebody said they could make it work........and that's not the problem as much as it is cost and doing it properly and the majority of Versa owners are not going to spend the amount of money to make the upgrades, this is why the catback system is still not out because of the costs same with the suspension everybody wanted one till they heard the costs so these companies are pulling back on a lot of there original plans for the Versa. The grill that I have made for the Versa cost me almost half of what a Versa would cost!!!! And I'm afraid I will never make the money up so I can see why the big companies are hesitant on the Versa market place. On my website.....everything is quality and I even deleted the Stillen Steel Brake Lines because I found out the were made in China so I have a company here making them for me (Earls, they make them for the race cars) BUT they cost more but the difference is like day and night in quality and I think brakes are too important to have something cheaper.

I love my Versa and have more things planned for it (when I get some time) and because I work with the guys at Nissan there are some pretty cool things they have up there sleeves (can't say because of nda's) and we sure have a lot of fun trying things for the Versa.

So the TIIDA is narrower and shaped dramatically different. What in the world does he mean by a 5 mph bumper?!? If no one on here answers this, I'm asking Bob because I don't get that at all...

The Tiida is also 1.8, and has the same body dimensions has the Versa, they just switch names, and some features that the versa doesn't have. The engine is the same MR18, versa factory service manuals apply to tiida, and such. So it's basically the same car, with another name and assembled in another factory.

Depending on where you buy your Versa/Tiida/Latio they can come with 1 of 4 different engines:

1.5-litre straight-4 HR15DE gasoline engine 1.6-litre straight-4 HR16DE gasoline engine 1.8-litre straight-4 MR18DE gasoline engine 1.5-litre straight-4 K9K-1.5 diesel engine

This was taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Versa

Engines* 1.5-litre straight-4 HR15DE gasoline engine version offered in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka* 1.6-litre straight-4 HR16DE gasoline engine version offered in China, Thailand, Chile, Israel and Malaysia.* 1.8-litre straight-4 MR18DE gasoline engine version offered in Japan, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Malaysia and North America.* 1.5-litre straight-4 K9K-1.5 diesel engine offered in Ireland (may become available as the Tiida is launched elsewhere in Europe).

Ok gang here's the scoop!

We have imported from Nissan Japan (the factory) various Tiida Parts to see what would fit and what wouldn't and we found out that the front bumper/hood/grill and rear bumper are all different AND the components behind the skin are different in other words THEY DO NOT FIT EVEN IF YOU JUST REPLACE THE SKIN! We also tried the Nissan Factory (which don't even come close to the ones on ebay looks wise just check out the picture on my site) and our mirrors are bigger.......they don't fit again we tried and they are too small for the mirrors in the US. The factory mirrors and the ones on ebay just go on the outside of the mirror and are too small.

Here is the NTSC rules for the bumpers.

What are the Federal regulations for bumpers?

49 CFR Part 581, "The bumper standard," prescribes performance requirements for passenger cars in low-speed front and rear collisions. It applies to front and rear bumpers on passenger cars to prevent the damage to the car body and safety related equipment at barrier impact speeds of 2½ mph across the full width and 1½ mph on the corners.

This is equivalent to a 5 mph crash into a parked vehicle of the same weight. The standard requires protection in the region 16 to 20 inches above the road surface, and the manufacturer can provide the protection by any means it wants. For example, some vehicles do not have a solid bumper across the vehicle, but meet the standard by strategically placed bumper guards and corner guards.

The only things that are the same & look the same is the side lower skirt and the side window vents that I carry in stock.......well when I have them available.

Now on to the motor, we have more smog pieces on our 1.8 then what is available in Japan or parts of the rest of the world so buyer beware if you purchase on ebay any motor parts that say they are compatible with Tiida/Versa.

As for the headlamps, I do not know if they are the same or not.......I have a set of Nissan Factory HID ones coming and as soon as the arrive and I try them I will know for sure. They look as if they are the same but again don't know.

By the way....the hood does fit the Versa but the front of the hood dips down and will not fit the factory grill.......it would if you used my grill but not the factory one. AND I can get Tiida CF hoods @ the same price as the Versa CF Hood.

Hope this clears everything up...........the old saying ...."been there done that"

[James[vicious]]

ok.... that does make sense. but it could be done if you were a determined person. it just will take time and alot of money finding parts and fitting them to the versa. My dad does body work and painting and says it would probably be like changing the front fascia of a chevy pickup to a caddy escalade fascia, to do so you need the whole front clip. all the brackets and body pieces that will make it possible. so maybe if you could get all the pieces of the puzzle it would fit? but just swapping the bumper would not work according to you.

just my 2 cents im not trying to argue with you because you have tried.

nothing is easy or cheap!! its all time and money, with that anything is possible

[bulld0g]

By the way....the hood does fit the Versa but the front of the hood dips down and will not fit the factory grill.......it would if you used my grill but not the factory one. AND I can get Tiida CF hoods @ the same price as the Versa CF Hood.

Hope this clears everything up...........the old saying ...."been there done that"

Thanks for the Update Bob.....and when I saw the Tiida CF hood I was wondering if it would work with your grill...good to know info
