Hi guys, I got some N14 calipers for a brake upgrade on my Micra, but one of the sliding pin/bolts is totally seized up, 2 days soaking and high torque rattle gun has just stripped the bolt head... So, I know many buy rebuild kits when they upgrade theirs, but the pins in my opinion don't wear...

On the look out for used Whiteline bars front and rear, and possibly used Koni Reds or Yellows from back when they still made them. Micra stuff new is getting a little thin, so hoping someone in Brisbane ends up parting out something, or has it laying around. email me at...

http://www.bishopsraceblog.com/Micra/newtyres01.jpg http://www.bishopsraceblog.com/Micra/newtyres02.jpg New tyres on the wheels, looking forward to doing a brake upgrade now, hate the stock brakes. The drive home I have to say was not bad, I went 175/60R14 tyres, Falkens, steering weight is...

Hi, had a small incident, if anyone is wrecking a 95 or so K11 in Brisbane let me know please. I need like a left front guard/panel, front bumper, and maybe a bonnet, would be great to find off a two door of the dark green, and unpainted bumper like I have, but could live with other options...

Hi, would like to pick up a used K11 flywheel, want to have one lightened ready to swap in when I get some clutch work done soon. Preferred in the greater Brisbane area, so I can pick it up. Thanks.

Wheels, were going onto my Micra with mods until I decided on 14's, though if they don't sell I may keep for the future... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250850666292 Headlight Protectors... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250848566720 Bonnet...

My clutch is getting super annoying, I was told it was replaced when I bought the car, I'm thinking/guessing maybe they just put a new disk in and nothing else. Symptoms right now, for some time I get a noise on start up, which goes away when I push in the clutch, this has been happening for...

My Micra has me beat, stuttering or cutting out badly under load, I found a seriously dirty fuel filter and badly worn plugs, but my poor luck with cars held true and neither new items fixed it. I live on the worst road in the world to figure these issues out, with a steep dirt driveway on a Mt...

How easy do the outer CV joints knock/come off the shaft?, the manual talks about putting them in a vice to tap off with a drift, but I'm wondering if I can do them in place and save myself a gearbox oil change?. My drivers CV outer boot is stuffed, I noticed maybe a tiny hole and the rubber...

In the strange but true basket, by chance I found some rather rough Pulsar wheels, tyres were in theory all wrong, but I decided to drive it yesterday anyway, reality is the car rides smoother and turns just as well, with the bonus being the gearing feels better. The first time I drove a Micra...

Or at least the ones I just bought don't, I just went to fit the fronts, inside diameter of the coils is wrong, in fact the end tails are also bent wrong, and hell they don't fit properly into the top spring seat, and loose on the lower seat. Someone please tell me I have been sold the wrong...

Is an adjustable panhard needed 100% when you fit some average lowering springs?, how much offset in the rear end do you get once it's lowered 30-40mm?. I ask because I just got my hands on some used Lovells and much needed replacement front KYB's, really want to fit them all but not sure about...

Seriously worth every cent of the $30 I paid, got it yesterday and finally got to fix my slow idle, love some of the free software, although it's getting harder to find now, overall though it seems a fantastic bit of diagnostic gear to have around.

BMW Mini actually, but I found a set, some alloys off the poverty pack model, and did some checking, 15x5.5 4x100 and 35 offset I think, center bore is wrong, but I know someone who can machine them to suit. But yeah I like the idea of something that looks different, these don't have that open...

So how many just run over-sized and live with the lesser grunt off the line?. I'm talking like 185/60-14 or 195/50-15, I looked at all the options, not sure I like the prices or lack of range in anything smaller/stock. Also is the speedo signal on the Micra electronic or mechanical?, I figure...

Hi, I bought a rough Micra as a run around, been going over it fault finding, cleaning etc, during that I found last owner has wired up the Sony aftermarket HU wrong, only giving mono sound cause it's two speakers and they used front/back not left/right. It's going to be a few weeks before I...
