Thanks nz aj. You are a the info. man for sure.

So a Nissan K12 running a Nissan M18/20 engine looks like it could be an easy conversion.Weight?

Now there you go. Have a look at www. minis.com.au/ they have a Micra section where they say they specialise in Micra parts.E mail them for enquiries. In melbourne.

Just had an e mail from Mike saying he is picking up Hack tomorrow. So look out Melbourne, Hack is about to be let loose. Happy hunting.

Not released yet so very strange.

Hack bought brand new in Qld.by my mother,migrated to Tassie and came to me when Mum died. Hence the name Family Hack.So this will be the fourth state it has lived in. So a lot of sentiment attached but happy its going to live on with Mike.

Transport from Perth to Melbourne $500 on what is called standbye,which means have to wait until there is a vacant spot. Depot to depot.Went by TNT. TNT and Autotrans always seem to have the best rates.

Well Hack now on its way to Mike in Melbourne. Delivered to transport company this arvo for the trip across. The wife shed a few tears. Still happy its going to a good home and no doubt in the future will be able to call in say hello. Who knows where we may end up after Vietnam, maybe living...

Spot on Gareth.Still have dreams about doing a K11 up on return. I think I will wait until about 1 year before we return and then purchase one and do a rebuild with a few "enchancements". Lucky I have mates like my mechanic in Tassie Laurie Williams and if I rang him and said do a Family Hack...

Last sentence should read "Cars like the Micra will be hip" Maybe a very old saying but means will be in fashion, cool to be seen in, doing right thing by limiting oil consumption etc, etc.

Well with Hack about to leave my family( wipes tear from eye) and we are not that far away from about 3 years in Vietnam my thoughts are what cars will dominate the market in 2010/11.What will we return to? Petrol prices around $2.00/litre, diesel car sales going through the roof and demand for...

Well I sure won't be a customer if its only in auto. Massive mistake by Nissan. Anyone aware of "mods" occuring to the K12 yet? Any after market bolt on goodies etc?

Yeah the withdrawls are massive at the moment. I know the wife will shed a tear when it leaves the garage for the last time. Men don't cry I just got something in my eye. Very pleased its going to a good mate who will cherish it as much as we did. I am sure Hack is going to be around for many...

Well there you go! 300,000kl and still going strong.Original timing chain and all.Mike drives his cars hard but big differance between hard driving and flogging a car. Well done mate. No doubt that the Micra K11 is overall a solid well built car with a terrific motor. Still reckon it leaves a...

Agree its a good choice. Like the shape. Is there not a turbo version overseas? Build quality should be okay. I like the stripes. Shades of the original Mini Cooper S. Stripes make em go faster. Methinks overall it would be a great car for some after market mods like a turbo. I think over the...
