Even with the extra drive pulley and the supercharger belt at correct tension I could at times get some belt squeel under very hard acceleration and also if coming off the throttle very suddenly. Found this stuff called CRC belt grip in an aerosol can. Says it revives old belts, helps life of...

Hmm had problems on and off with the fan not cutting in.Checked everything I know, fan works etc. With a larger radiator car never looks like running hot with normal driving. Other day quite hot in Perth and I was doing a lot of stop start driving. Temp gauge would climb near the red when...

WEll the time has come. I cannot keep 3 cars. Work has given me a budget to go and buy a new car. Both cars are well know and written up in the forced Micra section. Both are 100% reliable and for their age immucalate.Whitey new paint job. Whitey only 5000 kl since last total rebuild. Both cars...

Have been talking with Errol as I want one for Whitey. He advises that even with 3 starters price would be far better than one. Any takers. I know matter was raised before but we were talking around 10.

Fixed the supercharger oil leak coming via the dipstick. Good old locktite. Sucker will not leak again ( I hope). What a job for a 15 minute fix. Rip the exhaust manifold off just to get to the supercharger dipstick! When checking the oil level I have custom made 2 tools to get down between the...

WEll have spent most of the day giving Whitey a polish ready for Perths summer UV rays which are very fierce.Spent hours washing, applying polish and buffing off by hand.I am old school and reckon the best restults are by the old fashioned way of elbow grease. Hack gets the treatment next...

Found out where that small annoying oil leak was coming from ex the supercharger. Could not figure it out. It was not leaking around where the supercharger gearbox mates to the rest of the supercharger so I was really stuffed to where it could be loosing oil. After a run noticed some oil...

Anyone else see the report about just how safe those 4WDs are ?? Due to high centre of gravity far more likely to roll and 30% more likelyhood of being killed than in a sedan due to all that weight bearing down on the passanger compartment plus of course the damage they cause when they plow into...

Well the site has gone past 1500 members!! Remember not long ago we were all excited about 1000 members ?? The mighty Micra far from dead. Viva la Micra!!!

Anyone got a Nissan Micra workshop manual they want to sell?? I am looking for one.

WEll was thinking today as I took off at the lights, gave Whitey the boot and left everything else behind just how much I was enjoying my driving. Whitey now my daily commute and is running as smooth as plus all that torque available just by planting the foot at any speed in any gear. Hack is...

Cisco before you stop looking at this site all together how about updating the forced Micra section. Bluey needs a change of address as does Whitey. Can we update ourseleves??

Whitey runs Kmac springs. Do not laugh but I want to raise its height as I am getting to much rear wheel banging and crashing even when I have a moderate load on board.Anyone interested in doing a swap ??

Whitey has the wording "Supercharged" on its back. Where did it come from. Well it is a genuine Nissan sticker. I bought it off e bay from USA and its off a Nissan model over there that was supercharged. No idea what car.Anyone? The packet it came in says Nissan North America Inc. Part no...

Probably the only issue left with Whitey is this tiny oil leak. It like drops a bit of oil that would fit on a 5 cent piece. Drops it once then thats it. Small oil leaks are a pain as you are never quite sure where it comes from without putting it up on a hoist for a day or two, cleaning...

I start work early ( like 6am) and speed limits don't mean much around Perth at this hour. This dude in a lowered Daihatsu Charade, loud exhaust, alloys had a go at me this morning. We both passed a truck, me in front, him behind. After we passed, single lane both ways, he flashed his lights and...

I want to go VOIP. Two ways according to my internet providor. Buy a new modem from them at a discounted price of $199 as mine is not capable or buy a ATA for around $80/$100.Whats the diff?? as evidently both do the job so why would you buy a new VOIP capable modem??

Strange mob.Either half asleep or agressive as hell. Start work at 6am and I reckon most of them are half asleep. Coming home the opposite. Anyway having some fun. Takes me about 25 minutes to get to work and some places speed limit 90kph.so at least Whitey gets to stretch the legs a bit. Some...

Broadband up and running!! Feel like I have rejoined the rest of the world. How addictive are we becomming to the computer?

My mates 1970 Ford Zephyr Executive V6 1970. Like driving around in an armchair.Compare comfort space etc with say a new Ford/ Holden and I know which comes out in front.Hammers well but forget about fuel consumption! Motor shot you can see a lot of space in front of the radiator, that is where...
