Looks like the needle stuck for the previous owner of my Micra, as the plastic has cracks in it like someone bashing it =D ECUtalk was available around the time I joined up, so I bought that for all the other computer readings that it displays, as well as the speed.

Hi all you Perthies... bummer about the vandals. Did anyone see a good set of stock rims at wreckers? I like the look of mine, but they drag down the acceleration with taller gearing. cheers, David.

I'm also interested in good condition stock wheels of any sort in Perth if anyone has some.

Sounds interesting 1275, but also sounds exaggerated with your excitement. - How are you measuring the throttle position, do you have an ECUTalk display? - Have you done some back to back tests eliminating variables? e.g. Frank uses idle in 1st gear, start timer as he goes to full throttle...

Are the mounts of the striker slotted for adjustment? If so, you may be able to adjust the mounting position to seat firmly. I've seen door strikers that were adjustable position, not looked at hatches before.

I have access to an automatic document feeder at work, so if it's in Perth, I can just unclip from file, sit in feeder, press green button, put back in file.

Still like to get a copy of one. I have an unwanted driver's side door weather shield if that is desired payment for a loan.

I was looking for comparison info to say how the K11 auto versus K12 auto work. A guy is trying to advise an elderly family friend on options for small cars that require foot firmly on brake to shift from Neutral and Park. PS: sorry to ruin you having the last word on the thread sikk11.

He may want the buyer to haggle the price down a little! I remember the white $5990 Micra that was advertised as a collector's car... I think owner's love for these cars can really warp reality. PS: mine is easily worth $6k =P

Micra King, are you interested in doing the DIY marine roller paint job?

I'd like to meet just to see Nissanmania's car, how about we make it his local fuel station and shopping centre, where Micra's do their best work :)

I saw a badly panel beaten down blue/green Micra at night in Vic Park going through KFC drive through, I drove out the exit in front to wave enthusiastically, likely an asian student from nearby uni. Looked like every panel had been crunched from extreme parking, but the Micra was still rolling...

hi Shalon, there is an article in the Articles page of the website here talking about exhausts, and one example Cisco had I think was no measurable gain from derestricting the cat converter, because the main restriction is in the log style exhaust manifold.

+1 2nd hand recommendation for Zion Schneider. I heard them recommended by a guy Steve I worked with for 3.5years, he's a no-nonsense 50yo I trust. He had very positive things to say about Zion's shop over a long period of time paying them custom. Steve and his wife raised 3 daughters so was...

There's something wrong with the 2nd photo, blue up the top in parts and shadowy type things at the bottom... this has to be a photoshop job.

If you get the Denso part number from the radiator, call Natrad or the like for a quote.

Anyone have one? I have the Italian Nissan one but it doesn't look complete, or like the workshop manuals I'm used to, may be a collection of supplements.

There was a similar thread for doing the water pump belt. I looked from above and it looked like a squeeze. I will look at the Italian workshop manual and then underneath when the car is jacked up. I'll do it at the same time as replacing the driveshafts, so wheels off and shafts out should be...

As dens said, better to fix it properly, it is quicker and longer lasting than all the alternatives. The quick fixes are a bandaid, and can lead to infection and other complications, as this story goes. If the quick fix you are intending to use is the clear liquid with copper looking filings...

I just got my LX running for first time since the 3months I parked it after purchase. The steering vibration disappeared after swapping front wheels with back wheels. Cleaned it up, removed all the ricer stickers, changed oil and filter, now its just the exhaust holes ruining the party.
