Hi everyone,

I have just bought a brand new 2010 Nissan Dualis Ti last week for a practical daily car.

Specifications:

  • Engine: 2.0 litre, four cylinder
  • Power: 102kW @ 5200rpm
  • Torque: 198Nm @ 4400rpm
  • Induction: Naturally aspirated, multi-point injection
  • Transmission: CVT 6 speed automatic
  • Driven Wheels: Front
  • Brakes: Vented disc front, solid disc rear
  • Top Speed: Not available
  • 0-100km/h: 10.5 seconds
  • CO2 Emissions: 192g/km
  • Fuel Consumption: (ADR) 8.1 litres/100km
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 65 litres
  • Fuel Type: 91RON
  • ANCAP Rating: Five stars
  • Airbags: Six
  • Safety: ABS, EBD, BA, TC, ESC
  • Spare Wheel: Full size steel
  • Suspension: MacPherson strut front, Independent multi-link rear
  • Cargo Capacity: 410 litres
  • Tow Capacity: 685 unbraked, 1400kg braked
  • Turning Circle: 10.6m
  • Warranty: 3 years/100,000km (With additional 3 years warranty package + X-Pack protection package)
  • Weight: 1450kg
  • Wheels: 18-inch alloy215/55R18

Plans for it are bigger wheels (21inch and above) and a bodykit/lipkit (Aftermarket or custom-made).

If there is anyone on SAU that has experience in modifying this type of cars, please share some thoughts as I have no idea yet on perfect rims size (Offsets) or bodykit types if there's any out there.

Thanks in advance. Will post up photos after I get it in early December.

been thinking about a dualis but thought they look a bit small, specifically the boot (want to carry a pram) so not sure...but wifey wants a SUV and not a fan of any station wagons so no stagea :ermm:

Yeah, they are small. But 2010 model is bigger than the older ones.

I am sure you can fit a normal single pram in there (We bought the car with that in mind too). :P

What did you compare it to Victor?

And why did the Dualis Ti win out?

Hi Terry,

I compared it to older models of Nissan Dualis, prior to 2010 models. Prior models got 352 litres of cargo capacity compare to 2010's 410 litres, with back seats up.

Interior wise, it's just a little bit spacier. Exterior wise, it's a lot better looking with different headlights, grille, etc.

Are you happy with fuel consumption at 8.1?

What if it's fully loaded or with A/C going?

The best I can get out of the Forester on the hwy without engaging turbo, but with A/C is 9.9.

I haven't really compare Dualis's fuel consumption to other cars.

All I know at the moment is it is better than out-going models (8.2ltr/100kms). But from what I read on reports online, they do about 8.6ltr/100kms in a manual. So mine should be around that, as I got the 2WD, not AWD model which is rated more in fuel consumption.

I will post up after I drive around and see the outcome.

Fuel economy isn't one of Subaru's strong suits. Never has been.

My brother in law manages a Nissan dealership, and brought a Dualis up from NSW once on holidays. He was very unimpressed with its highway capabilities, and said it was very underpowered for the type of car it is. Hope the new ones are better.

Oh, 21" wheels? ;)

I think all Nissan Dualis (2007-2010) that come to Australia have the same engine which is 2.0-litre four cylinder engine (petrol only), and it makes 102kW at 5,200rpm and 198Nm of torque at 4400rpm. In UK, they are sold as Nissan Qashqai and they have choices in engines (1.6L petrol, 2.0L petrol, 1.5L diesel, 2.0L diesel). Yes, it is very underpowered for small SUV. It was a suitable choice for me as I don't want another large fuel consumption car for daily drive.

For the wheels, I am thinking either 20 inch or 21 inch as Dualis is not as big as Nissan Murano which is ok for 22 inch plus. I would like to know what offsets and width that would be perfect for the Dualis.

Hi everyone,

I will be picking up my Nissan Dualis on 8-12-10 (Wednesday) and I am very excited. :ph34r: I will post up photos as well.

Also, I want to know if there's any owners on SAU that has Nissan Dualis (or similar) as I want to learn and get more information of this type of car (concerning wheels package and bodykit/lip kit).

Thanks.

i wish Turbo X-trail had done done one of these up they have so much meaner stance than his tissue box on wheels..no offence TXT...But i have driven one and it felt like i was a kid that put wheels on dads empty Vb carton and was driving it around...

Dualis could actually look mean although 21 inch rims...you cant be serious...

That's ok, mate.

I wouldn't mind Nissan X-Trail. But we were in the market for brand new car and X-Trail was abit more expensive. So we decided to save that amount and go the Nissan Dualis.

And yes. I am serious with 21 inch rims, and possibly lower in the future. ;) Do you think 21 inch is too big?

looks wise i reckon the dualis kills the x-trail..will 21s fit?

Be interesting to see anyway.. ;)

Tissue box on wheels?

Geee, thanks. lol

P.s. I chose my x-trail because IMO it was the clear winner in the medium SUV market, and with coilovers and some decent ride height, it'll look more stagea/forester/legnum like. That's what I'm goin for anyway.

Yeah. I am keeping my fingers crossed in finding the right style and size. If not, I wouldn't mind 20 inch as well.

We will see how it goes.

Are you hinting to something there, Victor? :thumbsup:

Haha, Rhys. Don't get me started on this again, mate. (You are like 5th person to ask me that kind of question. :P ).

Hi Cam, just want to say I like how you done up your X-Trail.

Like I said, I couldn't afford brand new X-Trail and do all the things I want to do later on. But I am happy with my Dualis. What coilovers and rims are you running on? Looks very nice.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
