    What seats fit?

    I did have Primera seats for a while,only one fixing on the rear did not line up (tunnel side) & had to pack up the door side rear mount with a socket & longer bolt to make a good driving position...Comfortable but heavy! You're unlikely to get any rears to direct fit but if you're keen you...

    hmm a new noise, CVT/drive shaft

    I'm no expert on auto boxes but I have dispatched quite a few auto Micras with shot boxes.I called my auto box guru with one that was a nice car with a problem & he told me not to get involved.Sadly the design was not Nissans finest moment.Might be best to find some auto specialists & get their...

    The little green beast! - Stripped, slow, and not low

    @Jim...Save your money on chopped lowering springs unless you have good roads & no speed humps.I chopped my Spax & it handles great but the ride quality is appalling.Previous to the Spax I had chopped standard springs which was bearable & looked good.I'm going to fit Matiz when I get some but...

    Tyres..

    Low profiles are to give you less roll therefore better handling but the price to pay is the lower the profile the more uncomfortable the ride.With ultra lows you feel every bump in the road,and you'll definately be avoiding big potholes.The welding guru in my hometown does a lot of business...

    Got the inside painted with a mixture of blacks I had,Jaguar Anthracite & BMW Swartz no less. Left the floor which scratched up quickly last time so I'll do that in stone chip..Was still earlyish & I'm inpatient so I painted the side without cleaning the floor properly & got a few lumps which...

    Been there with the NATS prob,runs for 2 secs,cuts out with management light flashing.I changed the whole system which involves key,ignition & shroud,ECU & control box hidden well behind left of glove box.Been a long time but you can download a program on the net that that resets the system by...

    My conclusions on power increase for a 1.0

    "Performance" exhaust systems are too expensive unless you can find 2nd hand..Have a word with Frank he may have a used modified manifold laying around..And EBB found a "standard" exhaust system that was not bad price & gave good results iirc.. So called performance air filter systems are too...

    Tired...Was naughty & got involved in some primer flatting when I eventually rocked into work...which put me under pressure work wise for the rest of the day.Did what I had to do,then finished flatting,prepped tailgate (Inside is dangerous job,many sharp edges.Grinder action required) Removed...

    Did a late one & finally managed to prime the nearside(3 years later)I've been thinking about putting a racing tank behind the drivers seat so I could do away with the petrol tank & filler assembly & weld a plate in the hole but that will have to wait for another day.(Another 3 years)Big tank...

    Alright Reg,just a bit worried in case any passengers feel the need to throw up what with the horrible ride quality,speed humps & noise.Just about to dump a stinking Micra,don't want this ending up the same :) Mind you by the time they fanny around with the assorted lengths of wood & manage to...

    @templar2k5...Take the wheels off & sit it on bricks to get the jack out,or let the air out of the tyres.No loose clothing & stand on the door shuts.. Petrol is what I use..slap it on with a paint brush to soak it off attacking with a credit card or filler spreader as you go removing the foam...

    My car also ran like a dog after the engine change,over fueling badly.The 1.3cc donor victim was running 100% fine before it donated its lump.Because my car has had a fair amount of tampering done I did not know what to try first,went for the throttle body & it sorted itself straight away...I...
