Hi all, it's been a long time since I posted as it has been a while since I have had much progress pics to share on here.

Those of you who watch the forum will know that I have purchased MSS15's K11 Turbo LX recently. My plans are to use some of the super s parts i still have laying around from my other micra to tidy up a few bits and pieces, and make this car a pretty tidy micra.

So here goes :)

Here we are on the first Fuel stop after picking the car up from Brisbane Airport (thanks to MSS15 and her partner Danny for meeting us there).

Then today Jason fitted my old super S cluster and HKS type 2?? (can't quite remember the model) turbo timer with shift light and quarter mile, 0-100km/h timing etc.

Very happy with the progress from relatively low cost options so far. Thanks again to Jason for the work you put in on all my cars/bikes over the years.

That is low cost things except for the sunroof of course!! They're not cheap by any means but worth it for a bloke like me from a time when sun roofs were oh so cool. i.e the 80's n 90's.

Plans include the full Super S door cards and rear quarter plastic panels, coilovers, upgraded fuel rail/intake, change around some of the piping. Quieten the exhaust a little. Optima battery, 2x12" subs, alpine head deck, alpine speakers, retune the Greddy ultimate for new injector setup. Might go for a copper head gasket. Polished valve cover. Strut brace. Oh and a rear wing, either a Nismo or Super S one.

So yeah a few things!

Update pic of new gauges. Top to bottom, Air/fuel Ratio, Oil pressure, Boost.

We have since rotated the gauges in the cups, this was just after mounting the cups, not all wiring/sender pipes were hooked up at this particular moment.

I alway think they look to much there! But that's my own opinion, still interested in seeing where it goes

different throttle body meant that a MAP Sensor, and air temp sensor and different TPS plug/wiring had to be installed. This may effect the cold start quality but hopefully this will be sorted out on the dyno.

Stay tuned for more updates soon.

Ok minor update. All parts for the upgrade have arrived now. Including BC Coilovers from Just Jap and camber bolts, GTiR calipers, rotors, rebuild/seal kit.

Car is off at the moment for some wiring/troubleshooting new throttle body/MAP/Air temp sensor and a tune. Update here as soon as I hear more :)

Time for an update. A lot has happened in the past 2 months, to say the least. It's been an adventure that's for sure.

What started as a retune and re-jig of the intake/fuel system has turned into a MAJOR Rebuild.

Basically there was an issue with the head gasket on the dyno and the engine popped on the dyno. Pushing the No.1 Piston down 10 thou. The decision was made to replace the rods and pistons with forged items, so after honing/machining/measuring the rotating assembly was rebuilt and so, so many things tidied up along the way.

Anyways after a LOT of money spent the result is EPIC.

Here's some photos.

The coilovers and brake rotors fitted:
