Cheers. Yep the Stagea is my idea of practical, but still keeping my Skyline roots lol. I still love the Micra too though. Great fun to drive and I'm enjoying messing with it. Can't do too much with the micra because of insurance implications, hence the mainly cosmetic stuff. Here's one of...

I believe that was a Skyline with a machined flywheel doing drag runs. They probably just machined too much off, but it's not as uncommon an occurrence as most people might believe.

Hi, Just outside of Blackburn. Probably better known amongst the Skyline community. My lads first car had to be a Nissan.

Yeah the black really updates the interior. I used black Halfords vinyl spray paint for all the main dash and door cards and regular car acrylic spray for the centre panel. It's been on for a couple of weeks and seems to be standing up to use, though we've been pretty careful during the early...

A little update of what my son and I have been doing to the Micra.

Yep, no reason why I can't take my tools n try it. Good thinking (Y)

Cheers for that.That's the wheel it already has, I'm thinking of the type the last K11's had. There's a breakers near me have got several in mint condition. £60 complete with airbag. I'm also thinking of a later interior because they are so cheap. I've been using the car to get to work to save...

I've done a search but couldn't find anything. Anyone know if the later K11 steering wheel and airbag from a 2002 model will fit on a 96 model please?

Anyone got anything ?

Tempted, are the shocks ok? What's your best price delivered please?

Just bought this. The 7th one I looked at, all the rest were rotten. It's for my son's first car. I've already done an oil and filter change, cleaned up the engine bay a bit, fitted a speedo binnacle with a rev counter that I found on ebay and buffed out the scratches on the body. Having driven...

Thanks for the replies. Just been to see a facelift S reg 1.3Si. Rotten everywhere. Front x member almost non existent at both ends, rot in the arches and inner wings, even in the doors. It must have been parked in the sea ! Obviously newer doesn't necessarily mean better The search...

I've been to look at a few now and keep finding damaged,rotten,dodgy motors. Does anyone have any opinions on whether the facelifted models are less prone to corrosion and more reliable please? I am ex motor trade and so I can easily do the normal checks required, but from experience with...

Thanks for the welcomes. Yes I saw that, but Newcastle is a bit of a trek to be honest. He's not too bothered whether it's facelift or not.I'd prefer him to have an airbag fitted car though. I've only been to look at 2 so far, the first a 1998 GX was ok apart from needing some body work, but...

As above. For my son's first car. Must be a 1 litre manual 3 door please. I'm located Lancashire. Cheers, Dean
