what did you do to your micra today ?

[SuperUno]

Thermostat housing is cracked so im gonna try get hold of one tomorrow to swap, is it just 3 bolts pull it out and stick the new one on?

Also when swapping digital clocks on a 2nd facelift to rev counter, does the mileage update itself to correct mileage?

cheers

If you don't find one, I have one for sale PM me

The milage is stored in the clocks so it swaps

But not when you swap the whole unit. Obvious I know, but some may read that wrong mate.

So is it possible to swap the clocks out of the unit so the miles read correctly?

Don't know bud, don't think anyone has ever done it, most don't worry about it.

Yeah sorry just read again and could be misunderstood. Each unit has its own milage just to be clear haha

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

The mileage is stored on a surface mounted chip on the main board of the instrument cluster. It's around £50-£75 to have the mileage reset.

Hello Kiza, still saving for the clocks as well ???? You will have to change your car buddy.

 

[MaxK11C]

Its the rules, right?

 

[SuperUno]

Doing more research in my moving to electric power steering pump, this will mean I can remove the OEM p/s pump, which on our rally car is also the tensioner / adjuster. So I found this image which I think is @frank 's ?

If so what belt was it, and how well did it work? I like the idea of no tensioner sapping power.

 

[RYB]

New pads and discs and a long awaited oil+filter change.

Did you also buy the house and the caravan too?

 

[Guesst4094]

Kie, You can't just change accounts and hope no one notices, Just remember you still plaster it over Facebook.

 

[SuperUno]

Kind of fitted the March cam cover, however I need longer allen bolts... Bodge fitted it at the moment to allow the sealant to seal off ok. Will be worth it, as nearly 1kg lighter than the standard one :grinning:

Also removed the alternator ready to fit a new one.

If you zoom in on this pic below of Kie's dash you can see Davyboy's dials! They still belong to Davy because Kie hasn't paid for them since he got them from Davy in Oct 2015 lol! B-)

Alternator mounts.... These are well heavy... Anyone make lighter ones? I sure I remember an old thread about saving weight where this was covered?

Fascinating and informative thread of weight saving rational.

What weight reducing space saver spare wheel and tyre have you found compatible at marginal cost?

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Received gifts from a distant land. Lovely Japanese man threw in some JDM green tea too.

Where'd you order this from mate. I've always fancied the hyper rev march magazine

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

@mikebeal i'm sorry to hear that you have to sell your K11. I love you car looks amazing Outta curiosity how much are you looking for it?
PM me if you don't want to post it on this thread

i mostly ran a 145/10 mini wheel, it fitted over the rear drums ok after the excess weight was removed, tho a front tyre puncture would have required 2 wheel changes

Scraped it time to get a decent shell

eBay mate there's one on there atm

Fitted some sr clocks tacho doesn't work as I've got to mess about with the Ecu link I know that, my real problem lies in the fact the speedo reads wrong like very wrong it's about 20 mph give or take going by redlining gears (doesn't start moving off 0 till about 20). Problem is the clocks I've got the little needle stops snapped off years ago, I've replaced with cut down matches painted black (real MacGyver fix I know). They're pretty grubby so I'm going to try cleaning the magnetic plug the speedo cable goes into...any other suggestions as to what it could be?

Any thoughts in your experience, what weight saving space saver tyre /wheel would be compatible at marginal cost (from scrapped alternative makes) for a late 1998 1.3 petrol K11 on stock steel 165/60 R14 75H wheels? Has anybody tried/done this? Many thanks for your info in anticipation!

Today I fixed my central locking which used to lock me out when I shut the drivers side door! :-S Loads of parts to fit on my 2002 1.4SE +: CV'S, front wheel bearings, clutch cable to name a few lol! B-)

Hi Kiza mate if your scrapping your motor why don't you just SEND BACK to davyboy HIS dash clocks you took off him WITHOUT PAYING FOR way back in OCTOBER 2015. If you do you might gain a little respect back from the other Micra K11 owners on various Forums and FB groups. If you do not and simply open new forum/fb accounts under new names we will all know! B-)
