Decided to fix my wobbily steering wheel. It's been wobbily since I fitted the boss kit.

I blamed the cheap boss, but it turns out the steering column nut was at the end of the thread and couldn't tighten anymore allowing the boss to wiggle a little.

Anyway, two of these big bastards, M16 washers, about 2mm thick

And the problem has gone. Rock solid steering wheel. Yay!

My cheap ass eBay special boss on my k10 was exactly the same, cured in the same way too :)

Think they must have both been on sale at the same time at some point, weren't k12's introduced in 2002?
You cant blame somebody for walking into a Nissan dealers and buying that over a k12 though ;)

Well my fitter can't do the bulb to bulb thing to get this bloody airbag light off. Have taken it to another (younger) fitter who has an all singing dancing reader, we'll see. Fingers crossed.
How easy is it to do the bulb thing ????? He said it was all printed circuits behind the dials - means - not a lot to me !!!!

You need an electrician not a fitter

2.7 ohm resistor is the usual hack innit ?
 
Made my first purchase of parts for the new Micra! :D

New rear brake hoses after the old one caused me to ruin my pants flying across a roundabout, narrowly avoiding a couple of cars as I did.... I would like to think the seller had no knowledge of this before selling to me :(

What a return to Micra-hood :D

Thank you Frank. I pretty much, sort of, understand some of the two links, I'll pass that on to the younger guy I think.
More chance of a kiddie understanding that than an old geezer like me and my fitter. Age is a wonderful thing, when your not aged. Spent a lot of my working life hanging of ropes (tree surgeon) and gardening, never messed with engines at all.
Another big thank you from me :)

Thanks what engine size is it ? I think it is only the 1.4/1.6 brakes that fit under 13"s

From searching the web and this forum last night, it seems to be that the best option is the early n15 (Almera) 1.4/1.6 calipers as they have a larger piston and allow you to fit vented discs. You can fit n14 (Sunny) calipers and they will fit vented discs, but have the same sized piston as the normal K11 caliper.

Also you can fit 100nx front calipers or ones from k11's which were vented, but both of these options are rare, so easiest option and best it seems is a 1.4/1.6 Almera.

That sound like something I wrote ages ago :)

I like my 100nx brakes but for a performance car I'd use the n15 brakes
 
Wdid? Couple of days ago actually... Fixed the oil leak from the side panel and got help from Chris to clean the bay, its gleaming now!
Also visited both fusion motorsport and Matt humphris and got some excellent advice and info about future planned mods and repairs/upgrades :)

I've been running 100nx calipers on Charlie for almost as long as I've had her, there is plenty of room. As for the mera my old 97 1.4 had 13's as standard.

Size wise there isn't much difference, I even accidentally got the pad carriers mixed up. Only realised when I tried and failed to drive off lol.

The biggest difference is the piston size, unfortunately I have lost the exact diameters but the n15 pistons were noticeably bigger
