ran out of petrol lol
well done
im not sure how ive not managed that myself actually. Was amazed today to look at the fuel gauge and it seems nissan made my car run on nothing
drove up from wycombe on monday with a full tank, had about a third left when i got to hull, and been driving around all week and as far as i can tell i now have just OVER a third of a tank! Magic Micra 
ran out of petrol lol
I run this risk the last few days running up to payday - I haven't lost yet
well mine seems to hit the red and it just splutters and farts till it cuts out.no real warning,no lights or buzzers to warn you its low,no nothing lol.as soon as it touches the red it just dies lol.
really gonna have to keep a eye on it.fortunately petrol station was just down the road so rolled down the hill to and built up enough momentum on the way down to get up the slope into the forecourt and JUST enough momentum left over to pull up smack outside the fuel pumps.haha.

I doubt it, the Navara ECU has not been properly broken into yet, the Micra has been out year and not live mapables. Not sure if its the same software, but Nissan live mapping to my knowledge is not out there yet. Get any other make and its all over the web for a proper live map, not some generic boost of fuel and turbo (navara)
And will solve the ECU mapping soon:

Liking the look, rear lights look better with some colour on a silver (same as mine) thought yours was a 2000 model untill i saw the exhaust.

Its a 1999 model, with a 1997 stock backbox.
And this daughterboard is not for live mapping, just normal one. But i have a NIStune board for more than 2 years and has live mapping. Some other members are using it also...
Back in the day when Nistune was first released we used a daughterboard from GRID with live mapping done using emulators. The roms were then burned over to the eproms when done. Not as nice as the Nistune boards available now, where you can tweak and save easily

Great thing with electronics, they are always getting upgrades.
Cursed the rust and corrosion caused by all the salt used on the roads here.. broke a bolt that holds the front suspension arm on.. half of it came out, the other half is bonded to the rubber, so anytime I turn it, it turns right back the way it was Nissan people had to order a new one, so there's a couple days waiting again... still have to figure out how to remove it. Any ideas?
Found 2 sources of rattling and a leak in the boot, removed the reg plate and filled the holes with sealant, tightened it up good this time.. removed the inner panel, as I wanted to do the horizontal wiper mod but have the riveted type of motor ...added some soundproofing mat to the back of the panel and reinstalled.... now it sounds very solid when closing
Replaced 3 lights that have been out for some time.
Found lots of rust that I hadn't noticed before.. including along the roof where the spoiler is... thinking of a full respray one day.
Had a breif look at a K13.. I like it much better than the K12, but not so much as my K11... Dealer said it's only available in 4 door though

sell a load of k12 boot locks at my work
collected my new wheels, ordered new tyres ordered new wheel nuts
I've lost track - Is that Mck's slots or have you found some 15"s you like.
It's common with K12s apparently. The boot sounds slightly open as you drive. I've had a look and all the wiring's in perfect nick and dry so dunno why they do it
My X's micra did this, she blamed me for the way i drove it! I would sit in the back while she drove trying to find what it was, prodding things with a screw driver etc...never did find the cause
Well WDID? I went to 5 scrappies in search of a central locking but no luck and I came across the grilles I was after don't know if like it colour coded or not what do you think?
looks pretty cool colour coded, then again if you did a bit of colour matching to the gray bits and did them all in a slightly different shade it would look good too, bring out some character instead of the plain colour blending in. Just my thoughts tho, wanna get round to doing some spraying on mine soon as i have the full black bumpers and wanna use that as a base for a kinda red'n'black theme all over
yesteday not today ( to early ) replaced pas side door glass because it kept coming off that bit of plastic thing or whatever its made of that bolts to the runner...
also popped in my local parts shop to price up some rear shocks happy times he had 2 kyb shocks that he had for a few years and let me have them for £25 each

And some aero blades
those wipers look too cluttered

Ye bolts are easy though, its the hassle of fitting the studs thats the ball ache
takes 2 mins to swap longer bolts, more like 2 hours to do the studs lol.ye new wheels, again, 14" bbs ra
just been offered a set of 15" RAs though, very tempted

WDIDT ?
got the bike communicator for listening for DET, just a battery powered audio amp basically, and very effective
and definately found the sweet spot of the fueling now, using the combination of my old 5th injector and the modded fuel reg

Not just today but over a few days on and off, i've been building the new throttle body...will be running larger diam and the micras idle control / aux air. Best of both worlds hopefully.
As a bonus, got enough alu pipe left over to make a small oil catch tank (decided against using the power steering bottle as its not as air tight as i first thought it would be).

Finished taking apart (hacksawing) the cg throttle body. In quite a few pieces now lol...but i've got everything i need off it.
Btw i've got a possibly working maf (from early k11 micra), unfortunatly i didnt think to test it properly before i removed everything...It does give within spec readings at ignition on and looks very clean.
Gotta be worth the gamble before you go and buy a while throttle body. Only needs the maf socket and maybe three wires (where i clipped them to pinch the maf socket) swapping over. If anyones interested gimme a pm.
