Hi all,

While i was on this forum, i thought, why not show my micra.
So here it is, a k11 5 door 1998 1.3.

My mods what i've did past 1,5 years:
  • FK corsa b coilover with custom pillowball topmounts
  • BBS rm025 7.5J
  • blacked headlights + grille
  • polo 6n splitter
  • Bride Artis III bucketseat
  • few small things
This is how it looks right now:

My front suspention setup:
Old = left. New = right
It is a corsa b coilover, with custom pillowball topmount and stiffer D2 racing spring

I'm also waiting on a package from Japan, which contains OEM JDM rear lights and Nismo clutch

More update's will follow, i have a full list of things i want to do :D

Cheers
 
Thanks all!
I'm just started!
The wheels are on the car for like a month, but want other tyres with more stretch.
Then i want to make custom rear suspention, so it can be dropped more.

I'm also starting to build a high compression cg13 on bike carbs.
 
Haha, they need some more stretch to make the car drop low.
On the front i already have negative camber.

Today i also picked up a CG10 for my bike carb project.
I'm not just putting carbs on and drive, but i want to build it as good as possible.
So i'm going to take this engine apart voor the pistons, and clean everything.

Lights installed, needed some cable changes in the connector
but just as i installed them, i saw some orange on the top part of the lights. and that i noticed that the top red part, actually is just a red foil..

well,
here i am again haha.
just had some plans changed, like the engine.
it isn't going to be an bike carb project anymore, but i'll swap the cg13 to a 150hp sr20de from a nissan primera GT
currently working on the engine, since it needed new main bearings.

For the swap i already have a few small things like Tomei fpr, Walbro fuel pump, brake cilinder almera GTI

And for braking i also have a few parts now.
German rear axle with disc, which gets S14 silvia brakes
and for the front i already have S14 4 pot calipers

Also going to make custom adjustable latheral arms.
Already made a design on Autocad:

Now the car itself
i'm planning on making it a circuit car but still barely legal for the roads.
Because of that i'm going to make the car light as possible, which means some things have to come out.
One thing that is going to come out is the heater. Since i'm going use a 12v heater i dont need the original unit anymore.
I'm also going to use just 2 bucket seats, custom door panels and flocked dash.

Thats it for now!

Hope u enjoy reading haha.

merry christmas and a happy and marchy 2015!
 
This looks awesome! Can't wait to see it all put together :)

Out of interest, how much modifying will it take to fit the S14 brakes (new brackets? etc.)? Are you using different discs with the callipers? I'm always on the lookout for alternative brake setups to the common ones used and this looks interesting due to the potential of using S14 big brake kits :D

i dont know yet, i just bought the brakes and didnt look how it will fit haha.

I saw some nice 330mm Wilwoods for a Pulsar the other day, would look insane on a k11.. Would need pretty big wheels though (18" ??) Maybe I'll do it when I fit a widearch kit one day :rolleyes: Looking forward to seeing how you get the brakes to fit :)
