Hi - After fitting I dogbox, I managed to break the standard clutch (spring jumped out). I've fitted a 1400 Almera clutch which seems much beefier and went straight in. I did read somewhere the Nissan works cars did the same thing.

Thanks guys. Got one on it's way.

I've been looking for a quickshift for my Micra K11 as an alternative to making my own as shown in the articles section here. Ebay has several which look like they will do, and not at silly prices, but does anyone know if they would actually work Here are a couple...

If your car has NATS, you will also need the key and the pickup from the ignition barrel, unless you want to pay the NISSAN dealer tp reprogramme it.

Frank -thanks. Odd thing is it is the reverse problem. He had the 14mm and could only find 12mm. I want 12mm and can only get 14mm. I'm even more confused.

Hi I wonder if anyone else has this problem or knows a solution. I need to replace the tie rod (rack to trackrod end. Mine has a 12mm thread into the rack, and all the motor factors can only supply one with a bigger diameter thread. It's a standard power assisted rack. The car was originally...

Hi Can anyone help me? I've just replaced the cams on my Mica and need to replace a couple of the shims to get the valve clearance right. The Haynes manual says to use an old C spanner to depress the "buckets" and slide the shim out. But if I do tat there isn't room as the spanner is in the...

Contact Harvey - 07814267961 He will make you one by hand and isn' stupid money. He has a jig for micra's as does alot for the grass track boys. If he doesn't know what it looks like he may want to see the car, which could be awkward for yo as he is near Aberystwyth which is a bit of a trek...

I don't have any photos, but you can see mine at http://www.mike-hayes.co.uk And if you go to http://www.oldschoolengineering.co.uk/gallery.htm and scroll to the bottom there are 6 photos of it having the cage fitted.

Try and pick the brains of someone who has done it before, the organisers may be able to help. Whilst you are at it, see what they mean by show room standard. I run a RS5F31V in my 1300 Micra which has much better ratios than standard. They weren't available in the UK as an option as far as I...

How old is your micra? I don't know at what point they changed, or even if they did, but my micra has a consult port which is not OBD. You need a cable which you can get from here http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/consult_if.shtml And software for a PC which you can get from...

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know which speedometer Matt uses and how he calibrates it? I don't have ABS.

Hi - I'm looking for a speedometer drive for a RS5F31V gearbox with Viscous LSD (cable or electronic). The drive ring is offset when you look down the hole the drive fits into, so a standard one won't fit. I don't know if an auto one will do. This gearbox option isn't common in the UK but...

Alternativley alter to top mount with something like this. This is a Uk site but there must be on Aus equivalent. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/top-mounts/rix-engineering-spherical-bearing-alloy-top-mounts But as you loose all the rubber it will transmit more rood noise and more...
