no worries craig, just whenever you get the time
i could partially fit it now...but the engine isnt in the car, so wouldnt have the desired effect.
once the front ends welded up then i'll be getting there, but the others will have probably been fitted and run by then.
so i short not me..lol

At the mo, solarice is on the verge of putting it together. Hopefully will make a good difference, video/sound will be uploaded once completed
Another business in australia also makes these things to suit the micra. I know because i got them custom designed haha. They weigh 5.6kg (i wasnt too keen on the lighter version) and suit the standard 1.3L clutch. Only thing with these ones is they require a ring gear. I can supply details if anyone else is interested but missed out on these puppies.
Also from my sources the datrats "190mm clutch" is simply a tweaked LUK heavy duty pressure plate for a CG13 and a 190mm ga16de pulsar clutch disc made by Excedy. Excedy dont make a heavy duty pressure plate for cg13, but they do have heavy duty clutch disc for australian delivered ga16de pulsars (almera).
Datrats is also no longer trading for the record.

as runaway says, im not to far away just need to fit the engine and buy a clutch lol which isnt a big deal...will post somthing so you can see / hear the difference these make.
from my searching, yom your sources seem to be correct...though i think you should be able to use a 1.4 almera pressure plate and 1.6 almera friction disc to give the 190mm uprated required...just havent gotten the chance to test fit them...

Yep you guys should have access to a crapload more pressure plates than we do.
You can actually fit a GA16DE pressure plate onto the standard CG13 flywheel (and therefore any of these aftermarket flywheels) BUT the locator dowels are incorrectly spaced (this isnt such a hard problem to fix). Whether or not the larger pressure plate and its housing will fit inside the bellhousing and clear the gearbox I do not know. Personally I'm over fiddling and trying to make other things fit the micra so I'll just be going with what I know and that is a complete LUK heavy duty clutch kit. Turbo in the future would be nice but unfortunately I've come to the conclusion its a complete waste of money. I'm sure 180mm friction disc will do just fine.

i'll admit, i was initially going for a 190mm clutch setup...after checking details about the almera 1.4 / helix clutch setup from another thread and talking to matt humphries about it...im now leaning more into that direction. Just gotta make up my damn mind lol.
Yom i assumed you already had a turbo ?...must be mistaking you for someone else.

I wish i was turbo haha
I might buy aaron's (evades) turbo kit yet. I'll see I guess. I have a sudden urge to try something new. Got my eyes wandering on Volvos recently. 850R's in particular.Nope you're just going to have to find a LUK supplier and order one. the LUK HD kit has approximately 15% greater clamping force than the standard replacement LUK (which is exactly the same as the original OEM nissan fitted clutch, which by chance is also a LUK!).
Depending on what you want deep down, I would say get the 'R', it is a much better car than the micra, and although not as chuckable, a hoot to drive, but you can actually drive it sensibly, which is very very nice indeed.
Comfy too
