    Front Suspension Suss

    Having a clunking coming from the front I put the little beast up onto jack stands for a look. To my amazement I found that the front suspension crossmember is not mounted solidly to the body!!! Anyone know of some aftermarket bushes to firm this section up?

    Timing Chain Stretch

    My Australian delivered K12 1.4 auto has just clocked 157000km in 3 years and is starting to get a little rattly. After enquiring about the cost of the timing components from Nissan - $1800- I decided to buy a kit from Ebay UK for 220 UK Pounds - $350. The adjustable gear is so bloody heavy it...

    Tramlining

    120000km and my rocket us starting to tramline( bumpsteer). Have had numerous wheel alignments, tyre rotations etc to no good effect. Seems to be a small amount of play/clicking in either the rack ends or the rack. Is this a common issue at this distance? Still under extended warranty...

    Aftermarket Tachometer

    Fitted a Splitfire tacho to get the usual running rpms of the engine as I am designing some custom headers. Did not want to run a wire to the coil on number one cylinder as it would mean finding a route through the firewall and interfering with the ignition system. So I used the engine speed...

    Nissan/Renault Issue

    The engines for the 1.2l K12 are all manufactured in Japan by the Aichikikai Company. So, the reliability of Renault v Nissan is a moot point in this vehicle I feel.

    Removed Cat Internals

    Removed the ceramic catylitic convertor from my Micra by taking of the exhaust manifold and bashing the ceramic out of the cat. Installed a spacer for the rear O2 sensor and went for a drive. More get up and go and NO check engine light. Will post fuel consumption figures at a later date.

    Auto to manual - Anyone done this?

    Want to convert my 09 K12 1.4 to manual. Does the ecm need to be changed? Do you guys have access to wreckers in the UK that would have all the gear for a package to complete it?

    Drove One

    Had a drive in one of the STI 1.5l manual's yesterday. They go really well, the engine is very responsive despite only having 48km on the clock (brand new). The engine is so quiet it makes the road noise seem loud. Very impressed.

    Water!!!!!

    Drove through 4 inches of water at 80kmhr today. The result was spectacular to say the least. The factory mud flaps caught the water which bent them backwards opening the inner plastic guards which in turn were caught by the wheels and reefed them over the wheels to grind on the front of...

    Exhaust Mods

    Went to an exhaust place to get a cat bypass made up. The bloke said that it could not be done as the car was EURO4 compliant and that it would not run except in limp mode if I had it done. Is this correct? 2009 K12 1.4 auto.
