My new car :D

[squarepants]

omg, ive just look through the pics again and iam in love with it! i want a yellow k11!

 

[Ems]

lol!!

I can't fit my strut brace as there is a part, which Arnold thinks is the A/C, in the way :down:


The left hand side right next to the suspension fitting

 

[fraz_micra_88]

get your a/c to ...... lol put your windows down

 

[Ems]

i don't like the sound of that. just out of intrest wait strut brace do you have.

 

[Arnold]

It's either that or power steering related so im not sure. We could cut a small section of the brace out and it would fit fine, but might make the brace slightly weaker. We could also take off that suspect part and move it out the way while fitting the brace, then stick it back on.

Cant remember which brace it is though. Looked like a nice one

 

[Ems]

Is anyone going to tell me if this is A/C or what lol? And i'd rather not hack my brace up. It's a King Dragon Racing strut brace for whoever asked!!

I really do need to go and buy a Haynes!!

 

[Alienfish360]

any pics of the brace?

what is that gauge there?
why are the breather pipes left in if the 57i has been fitted?

:suspect:

 

[Ems]

The gauge is a fuel pressure gauge

And i haven't taken the pipes out yet as the old owner left them in for some reason!!

:suspect:

if you read other posts the gauge is a fuel pressure regulator and the original breather pipes allow more cold air to get to the filter

 

[Gurpreet]

******* I should have left mine in.. but im working on a vent in the hood at the mo

 

[Arnold]

There's also an additional induction hose been fitted to assist the original one.

[Ems]

Oh, and did u find out what it was?

 

[sparkie]

find out what what was.

 

[Arnold]

The thing in the engine bay stopping the strut brace from going on

 

[James]

[strike]Yes that is almost certainly aircon, the Primeras have them in the same place[/strike]
Ignore that, on second head-scratching it's almost certainly PAS

 

[richarda]

nice little motor ya have there

 

[Ems]

Cheer's Richarda

And welly, does your strut have a prob or is it a perfect fit. Coz even if mine did fit it would have been pushing on the pipe fwn

This is the strut brace, not a great pic but hey!!!

to your loop hole

 

[richarda]

ems, that looks like the same 1 ive got in my micra but uve got extra bits in ur engine bay than i have as mine fits with no problems at all

looks like ur air con or power steering pipes and pumps are in the way (left suspetion mount) where mine doesnt have that

 

[Ems]

Yeah i know We're just trying to figure if we can get round the problem

 

[D4R73N]

Yellow, Sporty Colour

 

[sparkie]

well be me haven't got round to it yet. but looking at it mine might fit as the bar goes across nearest the firewall. will let you know when i fit it.

 

[Ems]

so u haven't actually fitted it yet!! Hmm

 

[Fordy]

the part in the drivers corner isnt the power steering pump lol, its to do with the pas system tho basically a pressure switch

 

[Arnold]

You could take a fraction off the circular bracket & off the main bar and it would fit fine. As for making the bar weaker, it'l still be more effective than not having one besides, you need other mods & driving style for it to be more effective so cosmetically, it'l look better than not being there.

 

[sparkie]

tried my sparco strut brace. and please take all razor knives and sisscors away from me. cause it doesn't fit. was going to fit a few other suspensino parts today but due to brother say yes and then going out for the day it didn't happen. doe's anyone know anywere good to get one made up. cause it wont even fit on my mums si. also doe's anyone have any pics of the whitline front strut.

 

[Swiper]

Raceworx had the omp strut brace fitted to his car (facelift with pas), so maybe sell strut brace and buy an omp one. just an idea! lol
or try undoing the bracket and bending the whole lot down a bit, being careful not to crease the metal pipe. then find a way to secure it lower down.

 

[squarepants]

tommo has a king dragon racing strut brace and his car (facelift with pas)

 

[Arnold]

Thanks to Nex, One of Ems's birthday presents has now been fitted! I think they look superb. Fitted with LED bulbs too

 

[richarda]

not bad at all, how did you get the old lights out?

 

[Arnold]

Unbold the 3 bolts that hold the lights in place, then pull! They're heavily stuck on with this weird black stuff. You may need to use a screwdriver to prise the original lights off.

 

[richarda]

yeah thats what i was thinking, was just seeing how you did yours as im hoping to get some new lights next week

 

[fraz_micra_88]

could of washed it before da pics lol

 

[scottish-sr]

Why not turn the strut brace round 180 degress and drill new holes for it instead of trying 2 bend it and cut bits out of it.

Yeah not a bad suggestion that, and Fraz, we'd just driven 60 miles. They were taken once fitted in a park carpark! No hoses, buckets or sponges nearby! She's fully aware it needs a wash though!!

 

[Ems]

Lol, yeah i am, might do it later if i can b bothered. Wanted to do it b4 we got the lights fitted but we didn't have time. Oh and Arnold, i suggested turning the strut round and u said no

Thanks again Nex

 

[Arnold]

Oh and Arnold, i suggested turning the strut round and u said no

Thanks again Nex

Only cos i said the holes wouldnt line up! donkey - If it fits that way, go for it!

if i can b bothered.

Neglecting your car already! poor thing

 

[Ems]

Neglecting your car already! poor thing

Me thinks not. Your a fine example of how to neglect a car!!

[NeX]
