Well I went to buy a new micra today and got a bit of a price shock. I just was after the base model with the niffty 3 cylinder which was $13,990 drive away and thought the current 1.9% rate would make it a bargain but NO....they jacked up the price for the base model to $15,990. I said to the...

Hi all. Doing my tax and for the first time ever I need to take into account the small amount of shares my company gave me. Now the shares where free and part of the Employee share scheme and I can see where I put that info in via etax but the part im confused on is where to put the info on the...

Seen many K11's in dealers that are asking to much for them eg $4999 but this one takes the cake as far as im concerned...

For the K11 micra? I dont think anything like that was ever made.

Nope never heard of that before. The only thing I can think of is the original connector (The part that pushes into the bulb) has been replaced at some time and they got the wires mixed up.

Yeap but the old mercs where in a class of there own and built like tanks. Even Mercedes lost the plot in the 90's and built a lot of crap and gained a bad rep for been unreliable and poorly made. Good thing they now build good cars again.

In a nut shell for how its been over the years with jap v's euro cars. Jap cars = cheaper to buy and with better/more reliable drive trains but lacking cutting edge/up to date styling of the euros. Normally screwed together better as well. Euro cars = more costly to buy and maintain. Less...

No that is not true anymore. Maybe some like the outgoing Rio or the Getz that statement is true but for the new stuff its not. The 6 speed auto for a start is better than a lot of others and the jap cars at best have 5 speed autos in a few models but most still have 4 speeds in the small car...

I hate the cube. The Toyota Ruckus is way overpriced and think the Kia soul looks heaps better anyway. kluger? Haha why would anyone buy a huge, heavy, overpriced, ugly white goods on wheels I don't know.Cant even take them offroad as they are useless (Most/all are 2wd?). The Rav4 is ok but...

I really like the soul and would consider one myself. I have not driven the soul but had a kia cerato hatch for the past two weeks at work and it was really good, in fact the new 6 speed auto it came with is one of the best out there.

Sounds good. Let me know when you have it out.

What condition is the clutch pedal assembly in? Price including postage to perth 6064 please if its in good condition. Thanks.

The 2003 micra has a timing belt and not a chain. They also did seem to have issues with early belt failures but latter models seemed to overcome that issue. As long as the car has good service history and the belt has been changed when due then you should have no issues.

Hi all. Anyone in perth NOR looking to share a house or has a house with a room to rent out? I have rented my current villa for 9 years but due to the out of control rent I can no longer live alone. So have a room to share if someone needs not much space or if you have a room I can move. Thanks.

I used Castrol VMX80 when I did my gearbox and its crap oil. I think others have said the same. https://micra.org.uk/cmf/message/23223 I keep meaning to change it to something better and hear royal purple make some good gear box oils which I plan to use.

Might be worth buying a new one. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DISTRIBUTOR-NISSAN-MICRA-K11E-CG13DE-1-3L-22100-99B03-/190495405962?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5a69378a

Considering NSM now has Administrator under his name I guess he is the new owner? Good work and looking forward to seeing what happens with the site now.

I dont think they look that bad and still have plans on buying one this year some time. I will buy a white one and with some nice black rims with machined lip finish and some nice dark tint it should look good.

Your issue sounds 100% the same as the issue I am having. Can the injectors just be taken out and cleaned or is replacing them the only way? Also what injectors to buy? Not going to pay nissan prices for micra ones lol. Something bolt in from a pulsar would be the best bet?

Over the last month my car has not started as easy as it normally does eg cranks over longer and sounds like its having to wait for fuel to get up to the engine and also has a fuel smell after. Its only happening when I go to start it at lunch time in the heat of the day and my first thought was...
