[59 bhp is more than enough]

nah cg10 pistons are flat instead of slightly dished with the cg13 which raises compression ever so slightly. i was thinkin of using them for mine but i think they will melt with the power i want. yeah will be good to get a benchmark for an N/A tuned cg13de. course mine is a cga3de so cant really compare if you beat me lol

that's what i said, but then he's planning on using a bigger head gasket to lower compression, thus cancelling each other out.

[micra_pete]

ian if you want to go mentalisitic there is one option..... impul ecu for k11 raises rev limit to 10k, i have seen them for sale on jap sites they go for around £650

8700 normally actually

and the impul ecu will not work on a later model ecu, they will only work on our early type, or any march import.

and for the cost, well........

[Raceworx]

no sorry the tomie is high compresion so it will raise the compression abit.. the pistons might need valve reliefs grinding into them then..

all i want is the limiter raised and then let the piggy back sort out the rest..

so does no one know where i can get the facelift limiter raised??

[micra_pete]

it depends how long you want to wait, i will have a solution in the next month or so, ed may be able to help, but im not 100% sure of the e-manage ultimates possibilies on the k11.

[Raceworx]

i thought you werent doing them anymore dude i dont want it instant but it would be nice within a few months.. im 99% sure the e-manage carnt cut the rev limiter i think it can do the speed limiter..

[Ed]

The easy solution to this is to alter the wiring so a pre-nats ecu will fit, then you can put a romboard on it with a raised limiter. Then put an e-manage blue. I am not sure if the e-manage ultimate will fit since the K11 CAS is a rather odd one.

[Raceworx]

that looks like what i may have to do... iv got both pin outs and there are 4 or 5 differences iirc

[Ed]

Yes it will be easy, most of the wires are in the same place.

[Type-R]

The easy solution to this is to alter the wiring so a pre-nats ecu will fit

good idea, then you can easily wire in emanage blue and get a raised rev romboard.

just a quick question, if nissan have set the limiter at 6.5k or there abouts, how much can you push this up and still be reasonably safe without damaging internals?

I could do with a new rev limit as well cos my mods just keep on going and a few extra revs would be great.

[micra_pete]

ian, i have never stoped doing the ecu work, just stopped MH.

if you waited i will have the later ecu's sorted, no problems

if you were to wire in the older type ecu, i could sort your rpm limit problem out, i would have to alter the fueling and timing maps anyway so you wouldn't need the e-manage.

[Raceworx]

hmm yeah i know you stopped mh but you said a whole ago you were chilling of with the ECU's cos of some other stuff. but if your all good then thats probly the better option..

[Raceworx]

got abit more done today rear anti roll bar is on ther rear axle.. and looks good in silver and blue.. and we got the rear drop link of but the body panal is damaged where it bolts so we are going to have to fix it either make a new one up or weld the old one together.. also started on the rear diffuser got pritty far with it it needs attaching, some body work to make it neat.. some pics :-





its raining now and to cold to work.. of to watch some fred dibna

[squarepants]

its getting there, just some more minor alterations. my leg in pic two lol

[Antony]

hmmm... ideas ideas....

i can get someone to make up a carbon one if you like?

speak to "hansell technologies" or www.carbon-fibre.com or fibre lite (same company) and theyle do anything you ask them to..

i might pinch that idea for mine, (although alter it slightly for my car..)

[Type-R]

good idea i like!!

[paddymarsden]

nice man, i like it also.....good leg squarepants !!!!! lol

[Antony]

that exhaust must be realy noisy...

i mean, no back box... straight through?...

and im realy thinking about the diffuser..... if i get a facelift rear bumper and take the gray plastic bit out of the bottom, a diffuser simalar to yours should fit... all beit smaller..

so i would have a 1994 super S bumper in AJ4 for sale and wanting a 1.0 1998 onwards rear bumper in aj4 red....... but in just playing for now..



any updates?

his exhaust is extreamely loud!!!
i thought about taking the grey bit out of the bumper, but you'd need a bumper off a >2000 micra, 98-2000 is like ians above.
ian has taken the bumpers to his house to finish them off and get em ready for painting. so hopefully he should have some pics soon!

[Raceworx]

lol yeah theres a video of it on the bolg somewhere.. ill try and find it and give you a link.. type-R saw the bumpers last night.. he saw what i was doing with the front aswell... i get one word cropping up alot extream.. it seems to be a love it or hate it item.. ah wel i love it lol

heres a video :- http://media.putfile.com/Micra-with-avanti-cams- make sure it has the - at the end!! lol

[Zephyr]

like the defuser but how much 4 sheet cuz it looks like a thick piece norm only c some thats few mm

btw file removed

[Swiper]

file removed???

[Zephyr]

nm it was the "-" "http://media.putfile.com/Micra-with-avanti-cams-" just forum didnt add it

[Raceworx]

i have phills micra now so im building that up with the bits from the old blue one.. its very clean the paintwork is good it just needs all the stuff swaping over..






it has the coilovers on and also the gtir brakes

heres a cool wallpaper size pic

[Type-R]

i have been with ian in this and its pretty sweet now once ian has swapped his parts over, the s-afc is a nice piece of kit as well

[kristian]

why did u get rid of the old one?
why go pre-facelift?

Why go that color! ;p

[Antony]

is the other one dead?.... the one with the ace diffuser idea?..

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Alienfish360]

those black headlights look pretty sweet

[Swiper]

and the coilovers are set lower than the blue one was!!! it really is lower than a snakes belly. lol

[Type-R]

what i love about ians setup is that the handling is totally sorted the brakes are spot on which means you can rag it senseless without worrying about loosing control.

i wish i had good brakes!!

[Raceworx]

it wont be pre-facelift for long.. the blue one had more under body damage than we could sensibly repair. the rear diffuser ect will be going on this one :P i like the colour its retro cool

[Swiper]

why isn't this in the k11 blogs section?

[micra_pete]

ian, is this new car pre nats?

[squarepants]

i wondered that? and why is photos of members k11's not at the top of the k11 general discussion page?

[James]

Moved to blogs section, as for photos of Members K11s that has also been moved into the blogs section as it's not really a general discussion thread.

[Raceworx]

done some more work today thanks to the help of rich, shaun (swiper), and swipers brother gary (p11 SR20) we have put facelift doors with the colour coded mirrors and handels over as they didnt have any rust on them but with the pre facelift doorcards.. also facelift tailgate and lights and re-wired them to work properly car looks stupid but when it has the facelift lights blue bonnet bumper and wings im going to get it re-sprayed the sills done and a new front panal put on..

[tommo]

its certainly different lol

[squarepants]

lmao, thats gonna look the shiz! you not having the keyless entry fuel flap? or the wind screen lol

[Antony]

Wow

[Swiper]

lmao, thats gonna look the shiz! you not having the keyless entry fuel flap? or the wind screen lol

the fuel flap is in his boot for the minute, and the windscreen is a job for a specialist installer as they are bonded in.

[p11sr20]

dont think he's swapping the screen cos theres 5 or 6 stone chips in it so he's just gonna get some more vinyl

[Swiper]

ian and gary...... it doesn't look that bad!!! there's no need to hit yourselves in the face/head. lol

check out the poor blue car in the back ground

[p11sr20]

haha thats cos rich had just turned up

[Type-R]

these lot love stripping micras!! every other week another micra bites the dust through thier hands!!

rich: oh look that looks a bit loose....
ian: lets strip it all down and rebuild a new k11 from scratch...

LMAO!!

[Swiper]

yeah, but all the parts get put to good use. lol . plus it's fun.

[Raceworx]

just wait till the finished article :P 225 tyres will add an extra 70mm of track on each side

ARCHES!!!.lol

[Swiper]

he wants some yes

[Raceworx]

anyway poeple have been banging on about GC13 auto blocks being stronger than than non auto blocks so having got one of eachf or the enw build i striped them down and have conclusive proof of which is better if any...
manual CG13 :-


and now the auto block :-


as you can see there are aditional suports to the cylinder liner.. i was amazed when i took the gasget off andsaw it as i was goign to have the same thing done anyway but i got it for free lol so there is your proof auto blocks should be stronger than the manuals whilst its not a completly closed deck its better than notihng

[Fordy]

wonder if the k10 auto blocks are the same?
