I loathe indicator stalks on the wrong side & wouldn't have believed Nissan would have done it. Anyway, somebody please take a picture of the UK plugs & wiring. I'll compare with JDM versions which are all thankfully on the correct side.

Too high oil pressure will erode crankshaft & bearing shells. I'd be worried about 100+ psi. Is that 70psi pressure relief valve upstream or downstream of the oil filter? What oil filter are you running? When was it last changed? Is the pressure gauge fitted to an oil gallery downstream of...

I like the Hitachi distributors, all others appear to die regularly. An external coil setup is mentioned here: https://micra.org.uk/cmf/message/27523 Or you could go down the coil pack route.

UK & australia are the same as I said above. There are several past threads talking about fitting JDM cluster into UK-Australian K11. These all show pictures with the same plugs used & people report the same plugs fitting. As I said above, some of the wires are connected differently. Anyone...

The thing I like most about fitting the SR throttle is ditching the factory CG AFM, which has to be about the most unreliable part of the whole car? Fitting a large remote mounted ~80mm bore plastic AFM from a GA16DE N15 or similar would be the way to go. Yes you could make it run without the...

There are pictures posted in some threads about 1-2 weeks ago & others a few months ago. There are two different wiring loom versions, UK-Europe-Australia & Japan-NZ. All use the same electrical plugs but from all accounts there are some wires that may be connected differently. My K11 did not...

It depends on if you have the 4 speed auto or CVT as these likely have different half shaft lengths, and there are different sizes of CV & outer hub. Depending on which box you choose, you will need to replace some or all of these. There are 3 possible gearbox sizes and a viscous LSD option...

Idle control valve could be plumbed in around the throttle. What is the standard SR20 throttle diameter, compared with GA15DE & standard CG13DE?

There are a couple of exemptions you can use in NZ for Polycarbonate (brand name example Lexan) side or rear screens & keep the car road legal. If you join for example the Auckland Car club, and obtain a race licience (easy), and race once or twice a year (circuit, drag strip etc), you are...

1.5mm polycarbonate is much lighter than glass. Drivers & passengers seats are really heavy compared with some other manufacturers. The internal steel bumper reinforcings can be removed, they're heavy too. Does the UK micra have a steel or plastic fuel tank? Weight? You can cut out the spare...

I can't remember everything forever thou. It's a while since I did this. I can't remember if you also need to release the shaft mentioned above from the pressed metal frame to allow the numbers to rotate. There are folded pieces of metal at each end. I know I have used a screwdriver to open...

I've not had a UK cluster in my hands but all JDM have fuel light. Have you actually run your micra out of gas & not seen the light? I've come across backlight bulbs not working when stuffing around with Pulsar clusters. NZ has the AU made cluster as well as all the JDM ones. Check if you...

There's a brass donut around the chromed shaft that holds all the numbers. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to slide it sideways about 2mm, i.e. squeeze between the end of the shaft & the donut. This allows the numbers to rotate loosely. Allign numbers to the desired position. Push the brass...

I've taken apart 3 different versions of the cluster surround, this is JDM versions. Only one required the steering wheel surrounds taken off as I remember. Do you have a height adjustable steering wheel? Worst case is taking the centre console apart to get the LHS screw, steering wheel...

I was talking about the JDM versions. While the picture of the back of the UK speedo looks very similar to the JDM, I can't confirm. Even if the speedo's are not interchangeable because some screw or wire is in the wrong place, the printed face probably will be.

The clock is absent on JDM clusters. The JDM factory Nissan radio shows the time by default on it's LCD display. Aside from the MPH, the front is otherwise the same. Those wires on the back for running the airbag? light are a bit rude.

My JDM 1L K11 had no tacho wire either. Used a friends JDM 1L K11 as an example & traced the wire from the cluster to computer, then added it to my car, it's only the 1 wire that was missing. Out of three JDM 1L K11 that I know about fitting the rev counter cluster into, mine was the only one...

To pull the motor out of the plasic housing, you need to leave the fan impeller on the motor. There is one smallish screw to remove from the end of the housing that holds onto the end of the motor. Then leaver between the fan impeller & housing on opposite sides and you'll be able to pry the...

The biggest problem is blasting water into the wells where the spark plugs are located. The seals on the plugs will keep out spray but generally not a direct blast. I'd usually avoid blasting the dizzy as well. Directing high pressure water at the radiator can damage the fins.

RS5F30A 1.3L K11 Micra & post ~98 1L micra any nissan powered by a GA motor, except GA16DE, e.g. Pulsar, Sunny, etc. different bell housing but also used on E motors, except E15ET RS5F31A GA16DE powered vehicles, e.g. Pulsar, Almera, Sunny, Lucino different bell housing but also E15ET, also...
