    Good news!!

    I'm 99% sure I'm getting a parts car!! It comes with an engine with 170k and new timing belt.. Plus everything else I could ever want.. All for $325 (CND).. SOOO considering I'll be doing MAJOR work on my Micra (aka engine swap) I'll probably invest in a membership and spam the living crap out...

    Yea.. Check out the top of my cardomain page.. It's pretty self explanatory :( http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2539758 and now, just 10 minutes ago something else with the hoses have gone wrong.. I'd like to speculate my lower rad hose now considering the top one is brand new, but I'm not 100% ...

    Headgasket blown!!

    Well, I found out not too long ago I'm burning coolant... I've asked my m8 how much it'll cost for a head skim and replacing all the gaskets and whatnot and he said it'll run me 1,000 CAD (~450 pounds)... Unfortunately I can't afford that any time soon... SO! Is there any way I can prolong the...

    Secondary battery in parallel?

    I know a bit about ohm's law... But who knows... Is it possible to rig up 2 batteries in the Micra? Or will it fry my starter engine (too much current) or fry my alternator (too much load).. Has anybody done this? Basically I want a capacitor, but I can buy a car battery for less money than a...

    Water disappearing?

    Ok, so everyone knows that the k10 never came with a reservoir right? Well of course I made one for mine so I didn't have to top the stupid thing up every week. That worked out well for a month or so, but now I'm finding that my water is disappearing into thin air O.o It's not going into my...

    Rewiring the engine bay?!

    Yea, after 18 years this car has been alive, I've been noticing that the electrical isn't top of the line anymore haha... I just recently received the actual Nissan Mechanic's Holy Grail of all things Micra (1989) and needless to say, I'm excited. This book shows me everything from how much...

    Air intake

    This is just a crazy idea, and i'm not sure if it's been done or not, but has anyone ever created a hood scoop and connected it to the air intake for the carb? would that just be totally insane? or would it give some decent power gains... i've been reading about forced induction and whatnot, and...

    4th gear

    Ok, so what's the deal with the fact that you can shift into 4th without engaging your clutch?! I saw it in a movie once, so I was like "What the hell, why not... the worst that'll happen is the synchro screams at me" so I was puttin' along I let go of the gas and put it into 4th without hitting...

    rebuild or replace

    This is more of a personal opinion thing. I'm curious to see who would rather rebuild the current engine they own, or go out buy another one with low mileage and plunk it in themselves. Personally I'm leaning towards rebuilding just for the sheer money factor and simplicity, but I'm also liking...

    Speaker noise

    Hey guys, i was wondering if there was a quick fix for engine noise going through my speaker amp. my old speaker amp didn't have a problem with engine noise, but the rca inputs died so i had to replace it with a newer one, and now the noise goes through. any ideas other than a noise filter? thanks!
