Hello!

[gratts]

Hi just joined this lovely site because I like my Micra Super s, simply because it makes me smile when I drive it! It's cheap, easy to fix and shocks the a-holes who come up your backside as if to say "get out of my way!"

Anyway I'm putting her through MOT next week and if she passes then I'll be working on her, standard at the moment!

Need a manifold so need ideas please! Other cars that I can use one from??

Graham

hi graham 8v saxo/106 manifold maybe ? http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-micra-today.43944/page-255#post-636935

Is that tried and tested yeah?

no mate, you,re the guinea pig

Nope. Only tried and tested as far as I'm aware are starlet turbo and rover K-series.

The thing is, the price of a nissan manifold is ridiculous, may as well 4 branch it which I will do eventually, might look into the k series one, they must be everywhere

 

[gratts]

Micra parts seem to be expensive as a rule or is it just me being tight?!

Thats why I went GA16. £110 for a 4 branch with gaskets. Shipped from the US

very small market aint it, so not worth tooling up for, the rover and starlet flanges tend to be removed, and a custom flange fitted

Ah ok thanks, I'm at a stage where a transplant may happen with 123k on the clock, I just don't have the time!!
I love the idea of a 1.0 shell, totally standard with a sr20 in it
