If the auto box is the same as the Figaro one, it's horrendous. I manual swapped my Figaro using K10 micra parts, I would suggest the same for a Pao.

I've just finished my manual conversion... it's exactly as @103keef explained, although the standard K10 160mm clutch slips so best to use a hybrid clutch explained here: https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/the-hybrid-clutch-thread.71513/

You guys are correct... I'm an absolute lemon and hadnt wound 1 & 2 out. Maybe I have sunstroke. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, I'm attempting to set my tappets... I have found that one and two valve springs remain against the rockers and so no adjustment is possible. Maybe I have weakened valve springs, maybe the wrong springs, maybe something else? I made a quick video to explain... Any suggestions welcome...

Hi all, I have completed the manual conversion on my Figaro using the hybrid clutch. Big thanks to @frank !! I did do exactly as @pork had done: made the hybrid clutch, grinding on the plate, grinding on the cover, ut the car together... only to find that the clutch wouldnt disengage from...

I found some pics on an old thread by @pork : https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/porks-bike-carbs-and-boost-project.52721/page-40 They show the amount of grinding needed both on the friction plate and the cover:

That makes sense. Thanks.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Hi all... I'm back to working on the Figaro stuff! @frank , are these the areas on the 160mm cover that you trimmed to allow it to fit over the 180mm clutch?

Initial work done. It will get straightened and painted soon-ish.

Fig tax is a real thing. ... but I'm not sure if the gaskets are the same or not. Can you get part numbers for those two?

Update...

I'm preparing a manual swap on my Fig so have a K10 box handy. Happy to help.

Very cool project. I am considering a full Nissan Leaf system for my Fig. What motor are you running? If you just want a manual box, it would be easy to source here in the UK... the usual challenges involved in a regular manual swap in a Fig (hybrid clutches, etc) wouldn't apply for you.

Yes, this is an issue. I found that I would get the cut when driving without the full factory intake (air box etc). I'm not sure if it is the air flow metre itself or the ECU cutting fuel at a certain point. If it's the MAF, it may be possible to use a different air flow metre (S13 / Z32 ?)...

Wow! We need more info on the EV conversion, please! Edit: Just found your videos:

This is happening... I cant find any pics of other Figs with the same treatment... anyone know of any?

ok, cool, thanks.

I wonder if there is a 180mm Luk clutch that has deeper friction facings for extra grip. This bit seems wasted...
