Cheers GartracS2 for that bit, was going to look at that soon but has not happened for a while now. Dizzy is the distributor... Ignition leads are the leads that come out of the distributor and to to where the spark plugs are located. HT leads are the ignition leads. You will find all of that...

Well since I'm now getting into cars more i think it would be a good investment to get some proper tools for the job. Have had a look at the information bit on the forum and from that i have purchased a socket set. I now require a Torque wrench, would something like this do...

Also, would a 1.6 Airbox fit straight onto my 1.0L engine? as people say it fits perfect with a 1.3 engine. Cheers

Just had a quick gander around the forum and the general consensus is to get a panel filter. I think i will do that now, how much could i expect to pay for one of these? Also will think about rigging up the air intake to take cold air from the front. All exciting stuff!

OK great. So what kind of performance gains would i expect if say i put in a K&N induction kit? Would it be worth it? Cheers

Well I'm loving the Micra at the moment and was wondering what you guys have done to make it go faster. Now i haven't a big budget to play with so all things considered within budget :) Would adding a different air filter make it respond any quicker? raising that 48bhp any further. All...

OK great, still trying to get enough daylight to check this all out as at work most of the day. So what exactly is the rotor arm and what does it do? Is it in the distributor? are they expensive to replace. Total noob here regarding cars, starting to get into vehicle mechanics though, really...

OK great. Well I'm pretty sure my micra is on a carburettor but i will take another closer look, bonus if it is injection! I will give it another go cleaning it out etc and keep it posted here. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice guys. Well i did the fuel pump fuse dodge a couple of times before, worked once only. The last time it didn't start i floored the pedal and kept turning for at least 30 secs or so until the battery starting to die. Most of the time it starts up perfect. Its not the...

Hi there, New to this forum and thought I'd join up. looks like a nice community. Well i have a K11 94' Nissan Micra and love it. The only trouble i have with it is starting it up on some days. The engine will just keep turning, after leaving it for a days or so it will start up fine. Now i...
