About the brakes - did Nissan go with an identical setup for all engines? And is the rest of the car identical in terms of stability? That's important if I want to increase power here...

Alright, I'll see what I can find. Thanks a lot for your help!

Apologies, what I meant was if a car that already has them is harder to find so that an axle swap makes sense?

Thanks for the info! About the interior: I actually like the cloth one as it's more comfortable to me, and it means I can redo the cloth (probably a good idea with over 100.000km's worth of use). I didn't know there were ones with rear discs! Is that something to look for when buying the car, or...

Hello everyone, I'm considering getting a K11 as project car. However, I'd be doing just about everything you can think of to it, so I want a solid platform. It obviously shouldn't have any (major) rust, and as far as I understand, going with a '99 or later is advisable as those have the...

In case someone wants chrome instead of black ones - I bought mine from "DM Autoteile" (German company) on eBay. They're good quality, everything fits nicely and they look just like the originals as well.

Talked to my mechanic today. Turns out mine does have seat airbags (I didn't notice the little "SRS airbag" tag). That means we can't reupholster them and thus we also can't put aftermarket heaters in there.

Thanks for the link! Luckily I already have that manual. Maybe someone else knows their way around the wiring? I could probably find out myself given enough time, but some help is always appreciated :)

Looks like I'll have to settle for aftermarket then. Kits like the one I linked usually require switched 12v, permanent 12v, ground, and light 12v (on when the lights are on, not sure what the correct word is). Where would I find those to tap into?

Turns out it's pretty much impossible to get the heating elements here in Germany... https://www.ebay.de/itm/GENUINE-NISSAN-MICRA-K12-HEATED-FRONT-SEAT-ELEMENT-87635AX300/141919549292?hash=item210b10776c:g:YioAAOSwmmxW2GK0 This is the only eBay listing I've found at all. There don't appear to be...

That means if I manage to get heater element or a whole seat as well as the buttons, I should have heated seats! Awesome, thanks a lot for your help!

Here's the unplugged connector. It's coming out of a small harness coming from below the carpet. There are other wires from that harness going to the seat, but I didn't get a good look as there's very little space.

Hey everyone, my little K12 is apparently as minimal as it gets - no extras of any kind. I'd like to have heated seats though and apparently there were Micras that had them fitted. Since the wiring harness appears to be mostly standardized (e.g. containing wires for electric mirrors when they...

This article here is in German, but that's what Google translate is for: https://www.blafusel.de/obd/obd_betrug.html If I were you, I'd save the money on that dyno run...

I don't like the idea of rerouting the pipe, since I know too little to do that properly. Besides, I still hope that the space is enough to not get the pipe that hot... Thanks for the tip with the thermometer, I think I'll go that way and see what kind of temps I'm getting right after a ~30min...
