last night before i got home the car seemed alittle "uneasy and not very smooth". everytime i would release off the throttle the car would make small "bounces". i didnt think anything of it last night to be honest, but this morning its different.

on my way out again this morning the car was very "jerky"?? it didnt feel smooth and was an unpleasent drive :-(
anybody know what it could be? i just changed my air filter postioning, could this be the problem(i dont think so but...)

thanks
 
Well my first guess is electrical.

Here's how I'd attack the situation:

1) Throttle body - resolder it using Alex_B's guide on cisco's micra files.

2) Check spark - Replace the spark plug leads, the spark plugs, the distributor cap and inspect the rotor arm and replace that if it looks worn. Other issues are the ignition module and the coil, but I think all that is internal in the dizzy and can't be replaced very easily.

Either way the car is still running so its not a major issue. Probably just typical micra electricals.

cheers "Yom" your a legend!!!
havent got anytime at the moment to have a look :-( but i will in about an hour and a half.
even though you told me what i should do, im still confused as to what order ect and how i will know what the problem is without driving the car after every new thing i adjust.
cheers

Spark plug leads solved the same problem on my old micra.

cheers allan.

i found the problem.
the other day i had redirected my air filter somewhere else, and used a "foil tubing" to redirect it. however i didnt relise that "the tube" had broken and the foil was sitting on my throttle body. when ever i put my foot down it wasnt letting the air through and stalling :-(

i did take your advice and i checked the "distributor leads" but i snapped one :-( so ive just got back from a scrapyard cause i got another lead.

howevere the new lead is off a "Nissan sunny"???? the cars seems to be running fine?? should i not have got this lead??

cheers napster
 
the latest edition to the SR is a "NISMO" sticker that sits over the top of the rear boot window, under the spoiler :)
ill get pictures up tomorrow hopefully

also got two new tyres lol

i havent done anything to the spoiler i got due to no-time and my mate who was helping me went on holiday

Click to expand...

yeh mate already asked him. he is not sure where they are in his garage, but he said he would have a look. cheers

if not, im sure like u said before, i could get some NISMO caps made

napster
 
car is going very well. still enjoying driving it :) like everyone and there cars.

only new mods are modifications to my boot install, with pictures shortly.
car failed MOT on a "rear wheel cyclinder" but its all fixed now.

looking at sideskirts, front splitter and new rear spoiler. probably none will get done though :-(

napster
 
hey everybody.
on tuesday the micra is getting fitted:

1. janspeed manifold
2. de-cat back exhaust system

:) i cant actually wait till tuesday though lol.

should be interesting to see the results in power
 
squarepants said:
nice one ;) how much did it cost? if you dont mind me asking?
Click to expand...

no its ok, i got it second hand from a previous micra owner and both parts cost me £180 :)
i would like to thank my mate again for the parts, if he reads this!!!

i think its quite exspensive to fit though, cause two garages gave me quotes at around £50 :-( which i thinks abit steep??
 
I paid about that just to get my backbox fitted, and the manifold can be quite a tricky job, as Alienfish will back me up on, £50 is quite a good price!
 
£50 is a good price for a full system including a manifold, make sure the exhaust place know that though.

I got given a quote of £50 for a full system when I spoke to them on the phone, but to them, a full system is a catback. Mine was £90 for manifold and catback.

ohh mate, thats annoying :-(
the funny thing is my girlfriend said she saw a red modified micra and i said it couldnt have been cause ther arnt any around truro lol so that was you.

you down again??
 
well i took the car down this morning to have the:

manifold and de-cat back exhaust added :)

will ring them up around 4:00 and see where ther at. hopefully nothing has gone wrong and i will have her back later ;-)

i will let you know probably 2moro how the fiiting and evening went with the new power!!

napster
 
well as the story goes, im not going to use this garage again cause its the second time they've found fitting stuff hard and it seems they dont know what there doing.

when i booked the car in with them the guy said "i cant book you in till next week cause we will want a hole day to fix the parts"
so i booked it in for a weeks time.

the tuesday came and i woke up at 7:20 to get the car down for around 8:30. i took the car down for that time and went home.
they had had the car for over 6 hours so at 3:30 i rang them. well to my disappointment the guy said "can you ring back at 4:30 cause we have just started working on it :-( "

what was annoying was that at 4:30 i have to leave for work, so i waited 45minuts and rang them back. they said they where having trouble "aligning" the manifold and asked if they could have it over night.

well i was going to work so said yes.

i had no idea what they did while i was at work untill i went down in the morning.
i got there and the guy goes "yep, all fixed" well the smile that ran across my face was HUGH!!! lol.

i took the car out for spin and at 1st was unsure on the power increase, and i didnt actually think there was alot :-(

anyway i went to uni and in the evening i had work, so i couldnt test the car out till late.

now NOT racing or being silly i chose roads i knew and where little cars where before i decided to test out the power.

i can now safely say there is a CRAZY POWER coming from my micra now and i love it :)

well worth the money.

it is a real nismo logo. they used a quite a few different ones iirc. so i'd say your strut brace is genuine aswell ;)
 
wilsonian said:
Looking good there fella and good to see the sticker on it! :D
Click to expand...

cheers wilsonian. im very pleased with how the car has turned out.
havent decided on whats next, but im looking at sideskirts :)

any ideas apart from "lowering" as too what i can do next??

thanks
 
I told you that you'd be pleased by upgrading to a 1.3. :D

Hehe. Post some pics up of her on cisco's site mate. She looks fantastic.

Strikingly similar to mine actually. ;)

Swaybars!!! Swaybars before lowered suspension for sure. Looks arent everything I reckon!
 
im hopeing to get the car lowered 30mil on:

"koni sports shocks with custom power coils"????

only because i want better handling and everytime i go over the SMALLEST bump, i dont want to feel like ive hit a crater made by an meteor!!

will this setup be ok??

thanks
 
the car is running great still :)

mods in progress:
custom open grill is nearly complete :)..

new mods completed
..have new green interior light and "Fusion-motorsport" sticker

SA0001952.jpg


SA000196.jpg


SA0001972.jpg
 
MORE MODS:
open front grill painted black? (pics soon)
neons in foot well
haynes manual lol

MODS ARRIVING SOON (HOPEFULLY)
front and rear splitters (from Andy S :) )
side skirts (from squarepants :) )

i have koni shocks and springs front and rear, ready to fit but thought about having ago at fittting them myself with the help of a mate...but looks abit tricky without a "spring compressor" which i can buy from halfords??

i may let a garage do it?

napster
 
A garage will charge you around 15/20 a corner to fit springs/shocks or whatever..

If your local to a mate who can do it much cheaper then do it..
Its not that hard if you have the tools...

I charge 20quid for a micra..
 
to do it yourself, you'll need some sort of impact gun to undo the top nut on the front dampers, an air gun would be great, but i did mine with a sealy battery impact gun, just. a better quality one would be better like snap-on, buit they are stupidly expensive!
