Just checking in again, stereo is still working (with the same printed mounts), dashcam is still working and I've recently hardwired it in, planning on putting in rear parking sensors (the hidden 'tape' type) and when I grow the balls to do it, fit a hidden reversing camera (but that will...

Since it's coming up to the end of my first year of driving, wanted to come back and finally add a link to some sample footage from the dashcam. It really isn't great, but again it was very cheap, and fortunately I haven't had to rely on it so the quality hasn't been an issue. I'm also upgrading...

The emergency key of the new lock wont match the transponder code of the car, the NATS wont disable, the immobiliser will kick in and the car wont start. You would still need to get the key redone

The logic that ethanol is less energy dense than traditional petrol. 6% is a ridiculous number though, more realistically it would be < 3% from 0% to 10% ethanol at a push,

Won't be that low no, that is completely on its arse. I've attached a photo of mine (standard height, new springs on 100k mile shocks) and a lowered one on the Sportlines. Left darker red is mine, standard, right lighter red is lowered. It's definitely a drop, but its not as extreme as in the...

Nobody else willve done that, so you probably won't get an answer, can you not just get a set off a yaris or whatever and shorten/extend them

No they arent, as they dont have a fog light, but you could convert one of the reverse lights into one, with a red led, or just run without, and do as Mika said. Very, very unlikely to be pulled over for it driving around

I think it's 'glued' in. Rubber seal going around the inside, and then the glass is glued to that or something daft http://nissan4u.com/parts/micra/er_k12e/2005_6/type_53/body_side_and_rear/side_window_side_window_regulator_and_handle/

Haynes manual says you can get front bumper off without headlights or wheels, just take the grilles out first. I was looking at doing it earlier with no success

I expect the wire has just fallen down, if you remove the cupholder section that might help a bit too

Presumably welded in, itll be take off most of the front of the car, rad out etc, cut the old one out or drill out the spot welds (if that was how it was done, not sure) and then installation opposite of removal. Very common job on K11s, not so much K12s. Also personally wouldnt call that part...

Wouldnt be surprised if your best option is to buy a whole scrap car with keyless for all the components, or just cut your losses, buy another car and just move any nice parts from your current car onto the new car, then scrap it

Depends if you just want lows or you want to lift it up to a drivable level when its not parked. Talk to the guy who had the hydros on his, plus at car shows hydros rather than air ride will get you a bit of extra cred
