    Heat shields

    While looking under my car, I found that most of the exhaust heat shields are more or less loose. I can't really see how the exhaust system should become so hot, that it would cause any problems to remove them entirely. Can anyone confirm my theory? Mostly concerned about the shield between...

    1.3 LX 1993 from Denmark

    Hi everyone. Back in a new Micra (our 9th K11) after a year or so driving old Xantias. Feels really good and comfortable. So, we started looking around for a new Micra about a month ago. Plenty of crap around, but then this little '93 1.3 LX showed up. Fresh MOT, decent price, not too far away...

    Nice Datsuns spotted

    Spotted these two beauties in the showroom of a danish bike dealer, while on the road today. He's also the owner of a garage and used to work on Datsuns when he was younger. The brown Y has a twin Weber'ed high comp engine, and needs a better clutch to get the power through the system...

    On/off throttle feeling

    Hi guys. Just got my 9th K11... Really nice and well kept '93 1.3 LX. Only niggle is that when coming on or off the throttle, it's like a switch. So it's impossible to make a smooth ride, when driving in the city. Very on/off-y feeling. Do you know what I mean? And is there a solution to...

    Online supplier, good service and prices

    Last week I discovered this mailorder supplier. Very decent prices on well known brands (Bosch, MANN, Valeo etc.), standard spare parts for most cars. They're located in France, but have a danish, german, english etc. site. I ordered 4 spark plugs (Bosch) at a very good discounted price...

    Almost no air from the heater blower

    I have this 1999 Micra facelift. The heater blower/fan work fine in all 4 settings. But there's very little air getting out of the vents. When I make it recycle the air, it works fine, but on fresh air, even step 4 gives almost no air... I tried checking for any obvious blocking in the air...

    Bulbs for clocks

    Hi guys. My new Micra has absolutely no light in the intrument cluster. I know the type of bulps used, but how many of each size do I need? 5W and 1,2W. I could take it apart to check, but I'd prefer to pick the bulbs up on my way home and fix it tonight. Thanks! Ulrich

    Should I buy a 1,4 facelift?

    Goodmorning Micra oracles. ;) I've been offered a decent looking K11 1,4 Comfort 2003 at a decent price. Does anybody have anything good/bad to say about the facelift/coilpack/1,4 model - I've only ever owned pre-facelifts. Is there anything special that I should be aware of on this version...

    Just a thought... Micra All Terrain

    I have had an idea… Can’t seem to let it go. However I’m not sure it’s possible, so need input from the gurus on the forum. I was thinking about some modifications for my Micra. Originally I was planning to lower it, and stick some banded steelies on. But being our only car, and often using it...

    Idle up...

    Hi guys. Hope to get some advice, regarding the ilde on my K11 1,3 1993 Micra. Tried asking at a danish Nissan forum, but no replies for 3 weeks now, so that's not very active. When I stop the car, the ilde sits pretty high for about 10-20 secs, before dropping to a pretty normal level...

    Danish Micra with no name

    Time to introduce myself and my car. Been around for a month or so, but haven’t had the time to do anything but look around this nice forum. I’m 36 years old, lives in Denmark. This is my 5th Micra K11. The first 1.3 LX served my little family through 4½ years and 230.000 km’s. It had 425.000...
