[Eire]

[Grevs]

No this is for road use only

cheap tax and insurance is what i want :laugh:

Can anyone tell me what spec gx means?? :laugh:

 

[Sterling]

Can anyone tell me what spec gx means?? :laugh:

Welcome. Nice little motor you have there.

GX means you've got a sort-of mid-spec model. Though Nissan did all sorts of wierd specs for Micras in a seemingly confusing fashion.

As yours is a GX, from what I understand reading the brochure, you should have;

Electric Front Windows
Remote Central Locking
Power Steering
Steel wheels WITH wheel-trims no less.
Aircon if your doesnt have a sunroof
Or
Sunroof if yours doesnt have aircon

But then again, this is Nissan, they seemed to chuck/hold back whatever they felt like into cars and sold them on to an unsuspecting public.

Your car looks like its wear the Marine Green (Code DV8) paintjob.

GX was the model above Profile on the first set of facelifts. Still wasn't quite highest spec though.

mine is a GX in the same year and ive no luxuries at all, no electric windows, remote central locking, sunroof, boot release lever....well i do have power steering. i think the GX is just a trim line, these were alll optional to the public when buying new.

anyway well wear lad, enjoy it

[Grevs]

the little crack that was in my bumper wasnt just a crack :laugh:

i cleaned up the rust bits and got the etch primer out

few pics

 

[squarepants]

looks like its had a slight knock at the rear. i would replace that bent bumper impact/support bar just incase you get knocked from the back agian, might save anything else getting bent (Y)

 

[Grevs]

thats the plan (Y)

when i get 1 :laugh:

 

[squarepants]

haha, quick fix ftw! best way

 

[Grevs]

you said it (Y) I found a small rust hole below them vents behind the rear wheel so while i had the bumper off :laugh:

[Grevs]

[Grevs]

[Grevs]

It will be getting a set of plug leads and the engine needs another small wash as you can see the oil from when i changed the rocker cover and the seal was twisted and leaked :laugh:

 

[Grevs]

some of the bits soon to be fitted

 

[Grevs]

not sure if the dials will work but il give it a shot

 

[davey1991]

Wow your dials came with a free half tank of petrol, nice one.

 

[Grevs]

ha your not the only person to say that ,,only thing thats a downer is the mileage :laugh:

 

[will930]

the milage can easily be changed mate its really awkward and fiddly!

 

[Grevs]

how is it done

 

[frank]

how is it done

i just turned mine from the front, with something sharp :grinning:

 

[Eire]

Is it possible with digital clocks?

 

[Grevs]

think il try that

 

[davey1991]

Is it possible with digital clocks?

To turn it from the front with something sharp?
Yes yes it is, try and then show us the results.
Being serious, yes it is possible but you have to do it with a PC and its alot of hassle as far as i remember (Correct me if i'm wrong.), just write down your mileage when you fit it.

 

[Grevs]

buy new dials that say zero

 

[Grevs]

Fitted the sound system today just have to make up fittings to fix everything in place but this will be my layout

Amp wire going in
