    engine issue

    Does the shudder appear to be coming from one of the front wheels? It could be a drive shaft (CV) issue. If so, don't leave it too long, or you'll need a tow. Get to a mechanic soon. cheers, Greg

    Replacement parts fitted: headlights and distributor

    Hi folks! I recently fitted some new parts, and wanted to share my experiences. I swapped the headlights as the original units with plastic lenses were casting little, if any, light at night. The plastic lens had become too milky. I also replaced the distributor, as the original had a coil pack...

    20mm rear sway bar bushes

    All sorted! I got the complete set from Poland, including the 'D'-bush for the sway bars. 20mm. They bore out to the size you want. Anyway, I found out the hard way I need 22mm - the extra heavy duty sway bar that is fitted to my car. I've ordered additional 22mm 'D'-bushes, and will sell the...

    20mm rear sway bar bushes

    Hi team Micra. I'm ordering the complete polyurethane (red) front end bushing kit from the Polish Ebay guys. They can do the front sway bar bushes in 20mm, however, can only go as far as 16mm for the rear. Does anybody know of a supplier for 20mm rear? It appears Whiteline no longer manufacture...

    NCVT gearbox - engine seal leak

    Thanks guys. Will follow up with mechanic this week. It's annual rego time. According to Nissan's original Micra sales blurb the engine and crankcase seals were "sealed for life" with a special epoxy liquid seal. I guess back at the time 100,000 would easily have been considered life time. My...

    NCVT gearbox - engine seal leak

    G'day folks. I've sprung a slow leak between the engine and automatic gearbox. Looks like the seal needs replacing. Car runs very well otherwise. I suppose the next step would be to try and get a new seal from Nissan Australia and get my mechanic to swap. Has anybody else experienced this...

    Looking for rear brake pressure regulating valve

    I got a valve from a wrecker in Melbourne. $70 delivered to Sydney. Looks good and is being fitted today. Fingers crossed . . . !

    Looking for rear brake pressure regulating valve

    My CVT auto SLX (yes, still working fine!) is at the mechanics's at the moment. He's found the right rear drum brake out of action - zero hydraulic fluid being forced through the proportioning valve. Probably a blockage? My hope is, being an ex-Soviet engineer, he should be able to recondition...

    Cold idle stalling issue. Warm restart OK!?

    Over the weekend I thoroughly cleaned out the throttle body and MAF sensor with carbie cleaner. The car starts a little easier in the morning. I have a Tridon Coolant Temperature Sensor on order with SuperCheap - $28. Nissan quoted $122 - on order from Japan. According to Nissan, there are zero...

    Cold idle stalling issue. Warm restart OK!?

    Thanks folks for the quick responses! The car always fires up without issue, then runs at high idle (as intended). After about 2 minutes or so the idle drops dangerously low until the engine warms up . . . then it's fine again. I'll be changing the fuel filter tonight. I have found some...

    Cold idle stalling issue. Warm restart OK!?

    G'day team. I have an SLX auto CVT. Full Whiteline performance handling kit, Hurricane 4-2-1 and 2" mandrel bent exhaust. Also British PiperCross foam panel air filter. Otherwise, all stock. The car has about 126,000km on the clock and has been running fine for the 6 months I have owned it . . ...

    WTB - nice K11, Sydney area. Up to $4,500 cash.

    Will post pics when I've had a window to wash and detail it. I've been too busy with work and mods ;-) On Saturday 'MB' - Mini Beast went in to Liverpool Exhaust. We only had enough time for the 4-2-1 extractors (the aircon workaround was a hassle, but they kinked pipe No. 1 exhaust!), 200...

    WTB - nice K11, Sydney area. Up to $4,500 cash.

    Well, I finally bought one. Probably on the high side of 'pricey', but the Carsales seller wouldn't negotiate. I reckon I got an excellent car though, so not complaing. 1995 SLX CVT with 122,000km. It has the complete Whiteline suspension kit (lowered springs, KYB shocks, Panhard rod, etc), 14"...

    WTB - nice K11, Sydney area. Up to $4,500 cash.

    Hi folks. I'm looking to buy a very nice straight K11, preferably manual. I don't mind mods such as suspension, but would prefer a clean machine without doof-doof subwoofers or crazy 3" exhaust. You get the picture. I can pay cash for the right machine. I'm downsizing from a Ford Mondeo XR5...
