V8 is the only way to go! It's a May '64 car so got the original early 260ci (4.3 litre).

Thanks Will. Ha ha, I've had enough of turbos; this one's for economy and reliability! Anyway, if I want more oomph I take out my Mustang. Arrived in UK last September which is why the Figaro was put on hold as I was a bit distracted!

There's a number of people been asking me to post up the details of my latest project. As my username suggests I've been shoehorning a 16v CG13 engine into my wife's Figaro. It all started with a burnt out piston, Figaro parts cost a fortune and the 28mpg you get from a standard Figaro are...

Yes, that confirms what I've just been told- Early K10 manual had 21 splines at the gearbox and hub. Late K10 manual had 21 spline at the gearbox and 23 spline at the hub. Autos had 24 splines at the gearbox and and 21 spline at the hub. I need to double check this bit, but I'm pretty sure...

Sent you a PM.

Hi mate, Well the car is a 1991 Figaro but I've dropped in a CG13 engine. I've adapted the original Figaro power steering bracket to fit the CG13 block but it's not ideal as I have to pull the engine to change the belt! My wife also has a 2001 face lift K11 with a CG10. That power steering...

Hi Karl, Not sure if they're the same but let me know when you're breaking it anyway as I should be able to make it fit. I'm currently adapted the original Figaro power steering pump to fit the CG13 but I have to pull the engine out to change the belt:doh:

Like the title says, I'm after a K11 power steering pump complete with all the brackets (including the tensioner) to bolt it to the block. I know there's a few on EBay but they don't look like they've got the brackets with them!

Hi Will I've got all the bits you need left over from the insurance write off K11 I bought to convert my wife's Figaro. I can see a trip to Brighton in your not too distant future:grinning: Steve

Hi Frank, thanks for the reply! Is that a K10 on the left and a CG13 on the right? In any case I won't need a hybrid shaft as I'm not using the CG13 box. I'm using a K10 box out of a 1.2 so I need K10 at both ends. The problem is the scrappy is telling me there are two different K10 types? I'm...

Hi all Can anyone give me any advice on K10 drive shafts? I've fitted a K10 5-speed to my wife's Figaro thinking the Figaro drive shafts were the same. Unfortunately they're not the same as they have the larger spline diameter at the gear box end (same as K11 CG13 out of interest) so won't...

I don't think I'll have my car finished in time but I'll find something to come up in! By the way- I've got a red P-reg 1.3 (pre facelift) 2-door K11 with 80K miles that's a rear-ended insurance write-off that I'm breaking. If anyone wants any parts then let me know and I can bring them along...

Found it! Here's the URL for anyone else that wants it... http://cube-club.ru/ud/books/nissan_march_k11.pdf

Yeh, you need to extract a spring from behind a special bolt next to the reverse light switch then the casing lifts right off. Oh and remember to catch the ball bearing that drops out of the selector detent, cus' sure as #### it'll roll under the workbench.:o Okay mate, I'll get back to you on...

Thanks, I appreciate that! I've got a Hot Rod/drag racing mate lives in Oscott School Lane.

That raises several questions Frank that I probably don't want to get in to:wasntme: However- can I download that PDF from somewhere? Or could you upload it to my FTP site? BTW- where about in Brum are you as I'm originally from the Black Country.

Thanks mate, but yeh I'm quite a way from you 'Down Sarf'. Any further South and I'd have wet feet!:grinning:

Hi Will- thanks mate, it was knowing you had those two boxes that made me start thinking of swapping the internals. PM with how much you might want for one. (Y)

That's interesting- that suggest they're the same. Thanks Frank(Y)
