Sorry David, the pm session only had a small field and we were all done by 2.30pm. Even with a big field the event would normally finish by 4.00pm. Micra was 20th out of just over 50 entrants and was second in the modern car, under 2L category so was pretty happy with that. If you look at the...

You might be suprised how close we'd be as you've done some good work to yours. And it's red so it's got to go fast! By the way, what's the PPGA?

The guys at AHG will be confused. 2 red Micra Super S's going around there fast! Awesome stuff! (Your car's rolling at the front exactly as mine did before I got stiffer front springs. Even better would be a stiffer front roll bar instead) Looking forward to both competing at the same event!

I'm competing in a motorkhana at the Speed Dome, Eddie Barron Drive, Midvale on Sunday 2 March so come and check it out, or even better, compete. I've booked for the pm session starting 1pm but may be in the am if there's not enough numbers. It's a great event that's easy to compete in as...

I've tried blocking popups in internet options in XP/IE and added dev.ratetheplate.com.au as a restricted site and it still pops up!

I keep getting an annoying warning box with the message: The server dev.ratetheplate.com.au at Restricted Area requires a username and password - with boxes to type into. I've had this appear at home and at work so not likely a virus/computer issue. It only appears when I open the Micra site...

Both were within a tenth of a mm or so of each other at around 9mm - I would need to look it up to be precise, the 300 degree one with slightly more lift.

I think that a wild cam isn't going to give you much improvement over a moderate cam because the valve size is the limiting factor in a NA Micra. I've just changed from a wild 300 degree duration one to a 264 degree one and have seen an improvement in top and bottom end with no loss in the...

I like that about you Turbo - you're completely mad (about modding your Micras)! I'd like to see your Rays Gram Lights on the Micra. What size are you getting?

Solarice - I think the ARC flywheels were the ones sold through Datrats when they were around. This is the one I'm using. The alloy is meant to offer better heat dissipation as well as being lighter than steel.

The lighter the better I say. Might make gear changes a little less smooth but most people need a neck brace to ride with me anyway! As long as there's enough metal to hold it together. Only other downside to a lighter one is less metal to act as a heat sink to reduce the chance of the clutch...

Sporstsclassic - you and your brother are awesome! Great to see the Micra rise to the top and show the 4WD's etc how it's done. The LSD is the best thing I did to mine - and that's without venturing off-road.

Lucas pads on my N15 calipers/DBA rotors - took a flogging for 10 laps around Barbagallo with ease. Nuff said for me.

Consider yourself lucky to have power steering. Alot of us in Australia have to chase down one from the wreckers. The weight penalty and small power loss are worth it for the decreased turns to lock.

That Cusco demo is very informative and the cable-tie test is a good one to measure the decrease in chassis flex with a strut brace. I feel that unless you are driving at the limit (this will rarely happen on the road and if you did you'd get a ticket!) you aren't going to feel the difference...

As in it self-distructed! As soon as I know any dates for the MaxAction stuff I'll post something up.

Just needed to give that graphic to Nissan 10 years ago to use for advertising and I reckon they would have sold twice as many Micras! (Of course they would have had to produce a stove-hot version as pictured as well.) Brilliant stuff.

Our mountains would be your hills, our hills your mounds! So no, it's not on par with the race to the sky at Cadrona in NZ. But it is Australia's longest permanent hillclimb course and it's elevation would be a few hundred metres. Its used as a soapbox derby track in the other direction so it's...

Took the Micra out for a run on Sunday at Jack's Hill hillclimb here in Perth. No trophy but was fastest under 2L car in small field so was happy with performance. John from Tenagagh Motorsports (who's doing some head work on White Knight soon) took out the day, so he can drive as well as...
