Hello, was wondering if there are any others interested in a group buy of LSD diff inserts, for the standard Micra g'box.

www.humphrisoxford.co.uk has them advertised for 595 Pounds
PLUS delivery from UK. Current dollar prices makes it a little over $1200, plus postage, which would be around 100/110 pounds ($210).

OK, for 5 buyers, he would charge 599 pounds, delivered, waiving the transport costs.
So yep its an expensive purchase, but if your interested, yell out.

-Michael.

Interested Parties.
Michael
Turbo
Campbell
Sportclassic

Maybe's.

On another note, does anyone know where I can buy a set of C-spanner's for my coilovers? im kind of thinking somewhere more local tho, like i would like to buy them 2morro.
Otherwise I will get them from OS.

So, what kind of time are we going to set for this deal ppl?

hmm, i was thinking along the lines of that too.. but then, after all that effort, you still only have a viscous lsd. the gripper lsd is about the only way you can turn the stock box into a lsd one.. even the jdm/uk factory lsd boxes are ****in expensive to get a hold of, i don't care what anyone says, the factory lsd box IS NOT any stronger then a normal box, the gearsets are the same (so i've been told), i can't see how the gearset can be any stronger, there the same gbox casing bar the diff housing part on the box(and the fact nissan themselves claim they are the same gearset for both boxes). anywho, even if you did have a factory lsd box, nismo/cusco/everyother jdm tuner has stopped making aftermarket lsd's for the cg13 k11 (only make em for the cg10 now), so having a jap box is pretty much no advantage over a factory box once you get a gripper lsd, only difference would be that your gripper lsd box is going to get more power to the ground for less money :D, so come on folks, join the band wagon.

the pulsar box with the VLSD can be fitted and if you cant get the 1.6 box with VLSD because they are rare as rocking horse **** (in australia) you can fit the n13 pulsar VLSD unit to the more current GA16- n14-n15 boxes

i need one, got a viscous one in the rally car but i would be better off with a clutch one. see how many people you can get, and see what deal Humphris come up with.

Try www.mcasuspension.com they are in QLD, for your C-spanners. There are a few different sizes, depends on the size of your nut(adjuster)

cisco should have done this to the blue monster to really take advantage of the power it had without stressing about breaking gearsets, not to mentoin better traction

i would never use a dogbox on the road. you would wear the dog teeth out in no time from constantly start and stopping in traffic and your fuel economy will be up **** creek because of 1:1 5th gear, not to mention the noise that straight cut gears make.. sounds good but!

the noise is the best part! i'd get a dogbox, but only cause the red car will probably do like 5km's a year when its done :D

lsd makes a massive difference especially the mechanical, i know of certain cases where just adding lsd to a SSS pulsar track car reduced its lap time signifigently

i'd say its the biggest oz hp built micra to date. that's it. only because no one else stupid enough has come along.. there's a few people now that'll challenge the monster, and blow it out of the water for sure. shame we don't see or hear of it anymore..

haha yeah very true.... no1 has the mind of cisco... but i would definately kill for that car when it was in its prime!! there would be no doubt about it if i had the money that i would try make the best possible micra i could... im just imagineing the satisfaction of smoking a car that usualy the micra would be no match for through corners and all and seeing the dissapointment on the other drivers face..... however.. only a dream

issues hey? I have my feelers out for cusco units as well but they seem very pricey! Speedo I dont think would be a huge issue, would just stick a gps or bike speedo in.
