Hi Micragirl, I also like those Proton Savvy's.... I reckon they look good and seem to be good value. Their styling is appealing and much more interesting than any other small car on the market at present. Those "lotus inspired" gauges are great and it's one of the few hatchbacks around with a...

I just wanted to let you know that I can recommend Autobarn at Beenleigh as a place to go for Whiteline parts. Their pricing was extremely good as was their customer service. I initially enquired about the whiteline parts at the Springwood Autobarn (as they seem to specialise in a fair bit of...

Fiat cars are just about the re-launch into the Australian market with their new Grande Punto. I really like the look of these (particularly the two door version). Nice looking car in the photos. The 1.3 turbo desiel offers similar fuel economy (4.6Lt/100km) as a hybrid and still has...

Fiat are bringing out a new version of the classic 500... The following is a picture of the prototype, I reckon it's seriously cool and I would definately consider buying one !. As part of the development process they are asking for assistance from the public to help design a logo for it. The...

Hi Alex, many thanks for the info. I am glad to hear your micra is now back on the road and running well. It sounds like even 1KG off the flywheel makes a significant difference.

Hi Alex, May I ask what parts you obtained for the clutch pivot arm and where you got them from ?. I expect mine will probably be worn out also. When I changeover my clutch I want to have all the parts available so I can just do the job properly in one day.... so I will probably try an get...

Yeah, I also have a rear seal on backorder also.... I think GTRHolic got the last one of those in Australia also.. :) Hey Alex, don't forget Perfectrun have brand new Jun flywheels for around $550 including delivery... I got mine in about a week from the day of order direct from Japan. Might be...

Hi Stegg, It's really up to you but I wouldn't recommend going larger than 15" unless you are building a "show car" rather than one to drive on the street. Having really large wheels may look good but can actually spoil the performance, ride and handling of your car. It may also be illegal in...

I can also recommend Jim Berry @ raceclutch as good guy to deal with... Hehe he must be wondering why he has suddenly had all these enquiries about micra clutches.. ;) I also contacted him last month to purchase a "sports" LUK clutch (just like the one GTRHolic bought from him recently). He was...

Hi Alex, Crikey !. When you are putting it all back together I recommend you use some "locktight" fluid on all the bolt threads. Those bellhousing bolts are only done-up to a very light torque so I suspect they have just shaken loose.... I have used locktight over many years and I can't...

Hi Alex, yes I can confirm that this belt does need replacing. Bosch make some suitable belts that fit they micra and these are readily available fairly cheaply from "supercheap" & autobarn... but I recommend you to actually measure and/or take the belt with you to the shop. I was caught out...

Hi Micra-man, Congratulations. The results from the Unichip are awesome !. With a 10%+ increase in power AND fuel economy it's all good... I have seen advertisements about these before and thought it's all probably just "hype"... It's excellent to know they actually do make a significant...

Thanks for the tip Yom. I was just going buy an aftermarket filter but after your experience I will definately go for the nissan one.

Hi GeoffR, Like everyone here i definately recommend trying the re-soldering trick first... FYI if this doesn't help there are a couple of vendors in the UK on "ebay" able to supply a new/reconditioned throttle body at a much cheaper price than the $1000 you have been quoted. Some links...

I also had an excellent time yesterday !. Thanks to NoJammin for his great suggestion to go kart racing and everyone that attended for making this event so enjoyable. GoKart racing is fun but hard work... I have quite a few bruises today but it was worth it !. For the record everyone's...

Hi everyone, unfortunately I have the flu at the moment.. :( but I will be there if I am well enough by Sunday. It's a powerful motivation to get well again... So the plan is to all meet up at 9:00am at Kingston Park raceway... Cool !

When they first came out I was impressed by the Swift but i must admit I have gone right off them now.... My current "realistic" new car wish-list includes (in order of desirability and price) ; 1. Renault Clio Sport (Cup) $35,000 Awesome small car !. Very fast... looks sporty and stylish but...

Hi EvlGTI, When I called them for a quote for a set of 4-2-1 extractors to suit a micra with aircon I was quoted around $450 + postage. They are good extractors but I am suspect an experienced exhaust place in your area would be able to make up a similar set for you....

What a great idea. Yes I will attend.
