what did you do to your micra today ?
- Thread starter frank
- Start date
Referring back to my chassis legs been cut and more been cut where crank pully goes, warning don't start this if you ain't sure no ones in the UK have done this on a k11 am 100 % sure on this, am backed up by Google and many people who has told me its never been done. I have got 3 main cut and welded plate in my car, I haven't done a blog coz I don't like blagging, no ones seen my car yet in flesh, so here's what I done
all my grinder tools are ready to cut the chassis legs
I lined up where I wanted the bend to go in so I can hammer it in
now i cut it in shape and flapper sanded it ready to make a plate
you can see the plate it was all made from papper to 1.5 mm sheet, now am ready for tacking it in place
am happy with the shape and its flushed in just gona weld now
just showing u how much clearance I need,
bottom is nice and flush
welded up and filled over it again now gona flap it all up
you can see how much it goes in ,
am happy with that lets paint it
that's sorted now,
Now it's time to start on my crank pully I will show u hints and tip so you don't loose any stealth or weakness,
where my hand was showing that's where I will make 2 cuts each end,
now that was cut not too much in or lower now gona cut a line on top and bottom
I done this for a reason, on the chassis legs there is 2 plates in each panel and I was careful so I can do this
that is on the legs so this is my idea turn it around so it's like this
that's only way I did clean cuts so I can reuse the same metal and I won't loose any stealth or weaken nothing, time to tack and weld
very happy all lines up
I welded it in the first plate then 2nd welded so each ones getting its own weld,
going nice and easy so I don't miss anything out
you can see clearance if u check your k11
all done flapper now paint
now let's see them both so u can see how much room I made by 2 hours work and saved over 500 pounds in labour
what u think @frank

Yeh I will add the triangular bits in Tommow, I doubt sr20 needs crank cutting out, or legs bashing in,

Sweet
I think sr20 requires slight chop on drivers leg?
What engine are you doing then, or is sit secret?
I like a bit more challenge then the sr20 Lets keep it till 4 weeks till I tell everyoneSweet

canbus type cars can do weird things (k12 etc) where drive-by-throttle software uses the brakelight signal input (ie, brake and throttle on at the same time) but k11 brakelights are permanently live, a sticking switch will hold the brakelights on even with the car locked up
Thanks! Id best have a look today and make sure dont want to wreck the new battery too. I thought it was my amp or headlights and rewired everything, even the radio at least its neat now
It's not a T engine frank, it's a bus engine with bus intercooleri,m guessing its +T and over 2.0

Nice work, but I think your build deserves its own thread / blog / whatever you want to call it.
Forums are about sharing and discussion, and about showing others how you resolved issues and solved problems.
Keep up the good work.

@Azzydot But Why? People are more likely to read it as it happens than sit down for half a day and try catch up.
I think you're mixing up "writing a blog" with "writing a book"!

I don't wana just yet, I have a good mind and I remember a lot of things so when the time comes I will make a blog, not only me there is 1000s of others who don't post about the builds@Azzydot But Why? People are more likely to read it as it happens than sit down for half a day and try catch up.

I stopped caring about what other people thought about my projects a long time ago.
The people who matter won't mind what you do, and the people who do mind?
Well they just don't matter.
Chris.

Where are you based Azzydot?
Holy crap you could have been at JAE in about an hour.
Maybe we need a map of who is where, that way you will know just where all the Micra dudes and dudetes are.

Ok let's start with slim line fitting on k11 there is 3 ways of doing this
Stock Micra reads on Ecu with temp switch which then kicks the fan on
Other way is take the red wire which is on the Ecu and feed it to a on and off switch and other end would go on a fan ground wire now u would have a switch to on it anytime,
3rd one is have a temp sensor switch in the rad water pipe and the wires will just need cuttin off the old one and connecting it in the new temp,
Did mines today with temp switch in rad and works a dream pictures to come
