Hi Kev, I fitted spax coilovers allround have rear anti-rollbar. front is k11 hubs and brakes haven't fitted front anti-rollbar but feel it needs it. As for the weight issue well there has been plently of small hatches with big engines that handle 205 gti, 20ltr clio etc Its just a matter of...

Sorry haven't updated in so long. where to start, I got the tracking done. it was way out. Car drives better now but i'm still not happy. Still needs work in the set up. As the car has been off the road for a while I've had to re apply for log book and its taking time so haven't been able to...

Believe me I thought about putting in a vtec, wanted to stay in the nissan family. Mini and the K10 are actually about the same weight standard. My mini's weight is 800kg's due to roll cage etc. I checked it at a local weighbridge. So I only have the extra weight of the g16 engine in the...

Test Drive 2 Fitted 185's to the 14's and soften'd the shocks as much as I could. The car is pulling to the right very badly. Didn't really push it too much because of that but it didn't feel as quick as I hoped. I am compairing it to my vtec mini so. Going to get it tracked in the morning and...

Thanks Ceirwan, I'm a fan for the just do it/ make it work or why not Philosophy. I haven't driven since i fixed the mount and throttle etc as I need to change wheels and tyres. I got a set of 14" from breakers last weekend but haven't had a chance to get rubber fitted. Plan on taking it out...

I got it from suppllier local to me devcon themselves have a factory distribution centre near me but google it they have suppliers all over uk. It costs about £50 the 500g pack I got would be enough to make at least 4 bushes.

Had fun over the weekend making poly bushing for gearbox mount. It needed a few days to cure, fitted it tonight it and have to admit it amazing stuff works great. The one piece of advice I have is make sure you tape/mask up 100% cos you only get one shot at it once the liquid is mixed and if it...

Ok sorted throttle cable tonight a spacer to take up the slack was all that was required. Wheels, heading to breakers in the morning hopefully pick up some 14'' steelies. As for the gearbox mount well the liquid polyurethane arrived today. So its going to be an interesting weekend with that...

Well need to sort the final little issues get it set up etc before I think about looking for more power. If anything I think a diff would be a wiser choice.

Pics as promised

1st Drive Well where do I start? Right start with the good points, it drives stops and got all gears easily. Bad points not getting full throttle due to cable but is easy fix. Just as well I didn't have full trottle as the original 13" wheels and re-mould tyres I got with the car it didn't...

I'll take some pics Wed In daylight after I take it out of the garage for the 1st time in nearly a year.

Alot done today. Wiring finally sorted today all except the fan, I've miss-placed the plug for the primera fan so that stopped finishing that. I cut it off the primera loom a few weeks ago and put it somewhere safe so safe I can find it now. I mounted and power-steering reservoir and ran pipes...

Right guys wirning continues to be an issue, sent 4hrs mounting fuse box relays etc and trimming/extending wiring to suit. Trying to make it look as standard and factory as possible. The little things take so long.

P10 the right way I went with P11 my mistake wiring made so much harder due to nats2. That said I now have a K10 with an immobilizer.
