Roserbert: Hey bro... I think you might just have to get your tranny changed. Nissan CVTs are not exactly very tolerant of non-CVT fluids nor easy to fix (as are all CVTs)- My fiancee had a tranny problem with her Primera, and at the end of the day, we just had to get a new one- with the help of nissparts. ONLY a similar CVT box, with the corresponding Ns-1 fluid will work. I suggest you get in contact with nissparts or any other PROPER nissan specialist you might know for further guidance. You're looking at a bill of 80k ish or thereabouts |

eightsin: Well, unfortunately concept cars are not for sale... they would still have to undergo a number of changes before they are deemed ready for mass production and this could last years. I will, however, post pictures of cars that you can save up for...  |

I will start with the concept cars that I saw- these cars showcased the latest in technology and styling, and most of the car manufacturers at the motor show had one... Being that this carshow took place in France, (and also to make someone's day ), I will start with the Peugeot concept car, the Peugeot Exalt...   |

So... I've finally being able to upload some of my pictures to Photobucket, the storytelling can now begin... But first I guess a brief explanation of the Paris motor show (Mondial de l'Automobile)... it is a motor show held every 2 years in Paris which aims to showcase the latest automobiles and concept cars. More information can be found here: http://www.mondial-automobile.com/en/visitors/about/historique/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Motor_Show |

lomomike: Omo no mind these French people. Even their metro station directions are mostly in French, and were confusing for a first-timer. Ah. My Audi is doing pretty well. Unfortunately she's marooned in Uyo because the roads out of Uyo (Ikot-ekpene/umuahia and Ikot-ekpene/aba) are currently not passable |

Lovely lovely project...! Makes me feel like starting on another project asap. :-). Unfortunately my 1968 Merc 200 restoration plans have fallen through-owners refused to sell at a reasonable price! :-( Currently considering my other options... What colour are you going for at the end? |

| Car Talk / Re: How Reliable Is Peugeot 306 by tdie: 8:36am On Jul 17, 2014 |
NewIdeas: House i seriously need info about peugeot 306 wagoon.if you have used it before kindly advise me before i make my decision to buy or not.thanks I used a Pug 306 between 2007 and 2010. Nice rugged car, I daresay more rugged (due to less electrics) than the 406. I never had a problem with parts (I was living in Enugu, and the famous Mgbuka Obosi part market was just 2 hours away). I bought her naija used,then restored and used her for for 3 years, sold her, and the new owner used her till he totalled the car in a crash. Weak points as always with Pugs and other European marques-temperamental electrics (if you let some quack rewire touch her-like I did mine back then :-( ) , I also had occasional door latch problems,but nothing serious. Engine and Suspension are OK. No big worries there. But then these days, the 306 is quite a rare sight. Parts might be scarcer and more expensive to source so it does make sense to upgrade to a 406 or 206. But in all, the 306 is a rugged workhorse... |

yungboss: if you're looking to resell, then I'd advice you not to bother. Most Nigerians do not understand the concept of car restoration. Imagine someone pricing to buy my Audi for 900K- that was after he had gone through my restoration thread o...! His excuse was thatI bought the Car already Nigerian used. Another point to note is that if you're going to be doing a Porsche restoration, you might probably end up paying premium for replacement parts. I remember even the chaps from "Wheelers Dealers" on Discovery channel complaining about high cost of Porsche parts when they were restoring a Boxster and later also a 944. Summary: Restore only if you won't mind the expenses (and trust me, it can get quite high...), and if you intend to keep her... |

@yungboss.... I totally envy you... Will be following this project with avid interest. I'm myself also looking at another german car restoration this year- though the car is quite older than your Porsche- a 1966-68 Mercedes 200 (W110). Do keep us updated. |
