"With the world premiere of Nissan’s new global compact car slated for a Geneva Motor Show reveal in early March 2010, and other models based on the same platform to follow soon after, Nissan’s new V-Platform based vehicles will set a new global standard." HR12DE 3 Cylinder, offset...

Why would you think that it contains asbestos? It's not a high temperature seal, not even a gasket, just some sealant between the aluminium body & pressed cover. When removed the sealant is not dusty, it comes out in large chunks. I believe asbestos has been a banned material in most countries...

NZ is a much smaller land mass surrounded by water, and so does not get so hot, and as a result does not suck the cold air up from Antarctica. Stats below highlight the point, maximum variation in Auckland is 1 to 32, Melbourne is -3 to 46. Average Min & Max temperatures and Record Min & Max...

I've worked in a bunch of countries / cities. Rockhampton was good for a visit when I was in Gladstone. Some nice old buildings, & the view from the mountain you can drive up near by was OK. If I had to choose a city in Australia to live, if it was only for the winter I'd pick Brisbane. If I...

If somebody has gearbox, CVT & auto trans capacity's could they please update http://k11wiki.com

Last time I was looking for an alternative alternator I went to a couple of wreckers with the old one & just compared it. They had shelves of them ready for easy comparison, available for sale then & there, they were cheap & came with a gaurentee. As far as Japanese built nissans go, there are...

glad we don't have salt on our roads

How does swapping the head help? It's still a different engine capacity, so surely you'll still have trouble with insurance and with whatever government agency is involved? How many people would actually know that the coil pack motor didn't belong? It's a factory fit, no custom bits to give...

Yes there's at least one CG powered Datto 1200 or similar over here. Potentially you could also source the CGA3DE from here too, either from a March (Micra) or Cube. www.trademe.co.nz

All our K11 March (Micra) are from Japan with indicators on the right side of the column. There's often parts available here www.trademe.co.nz

It's normally cheaper to sell what you have and buy the larger engine version of any car. If you went ahead with the swap, you'd need the gearbox mounts.

All Japanese K11 have power steering.

An RS5F30A can be found in lots of old front drive nissans from the 80's. Anything 1.3L or there abouts would be a good bet. I'm sure you'd be able to find something cheap/free.

Nice bit of butchery.

GA15DE which is what you want, rather than a carburettor GA15, is found most commonly in Japan built mid 90's onwards Pulsar, Lucino, and Wingroad.

Standard factory rev counter is fine for me

I recall it taking about 8 hours. Have commented on it in a previous thread. Don't recall taking sump off, just pulley. Check previous posts. 220 is a good price. Whole motor is built by asian machine works or some similar name. Hence the jap sourced parts. The engines are still built by nissan...

You can just losen the hinge bolts to the A pillar, lift up the far bottom of the door & re tightened the bolts.

I haven't bothered to stick mine down, it just sits in place

MAF http://www.k11wiki.com/index.php?title=Throttlebody_/_MAF_/_Idle_control You need to replace your thermostat. You'll save some more gas once you do. Running at these temperatures the fuel mixture will be rich. http://www.k11wiki.com/index.php?title=Thermostat 5.3L/100km...
