Aka 075. 30mm wider than stock - needs tray modification for fuse bank to clear. Edit: The one I've fitted 'is' 075. So yes, to fit: - Rear edge of tray, cut the corners and hammer flat, to allow battery width. - Fuse bank side, the bolt hole needs cutting/twisting to allow battery length. -...

I miss my Skyline(s) :-(

Today: - Fitted new belts. - Milled out cross-thread on alternator bracket. :rolleyes: - Refitted exhaust with left-over bolts. :eek: - Clipped in final few plugs. - Fitted battery tray and battery. - Started on first try! (Not even any cranking effort, just let it prime and voila.) :cool...

I know! I've owned two of the best :D Yes, I recall our Scenic (fat Megane) having that now. And yes, looking now, the Megane item is a bit smoother than the R5 item, thus a bit nicer.

Megane too? For sure, just I remember the R5 Campus using the same design light up front. Without comparing them IRL, I couldn't say if they were the same part or coincidental. Not that finding one would be any easier - ebay has 1 - at £20 :eek: So not really an option for 'jdm look'.

Still counts as today: replaced boot ext trim and removed the rear wiper motor in prep to mod.

Exactly the same as a Renault 5 interior light!

Was in meccano state. But that quote was for plain non-runner, but engine 'must be present' - so I guess thats where they recover the costs. They weren't interested otherwise (or wouldn't have paid or charged instead). Rolling shell, whole engine, auto box (no powder unit t/c though). Enough to...

Some screws under/behind ashtray. Gently hinge the console up and disconnect switches. Unscrew radio. Put brackets on new radio. Use either loom adapter or splice your own. You 'can' assume earth via aerial, otherwise use chassis. Refit is reversal of above! Tip: Alternator whine (maybe...

Edit: This 'may' mean that the scrappies are struggling, so watchout for price hikes!

Scrapped Micra #1 - only £30 :eek: I've scrapped far worse for 3 figures! I'm told next week is worse still. :confused:

Yes, a trim and a ream (or smaller bolt) on eyelet. Shaft end is 'as-is'.

This may be the least interesting Micra blog, made worse that I only joined here 'after' the meaty bit... So for that, you get a wall of text. Maybe some pictures. Intro: The SO, whilst a manual licence holder, loves her autos. Her fav was a Scenic, but wanting to downsize, we picked up a...

Likewise - I have ordered a set to at least compare. At very worse, I can return them. Typically, all the dimensions I can find list the Micra and Corsa B/C shocks with random heights. I found a pic on this forum via google images to show the Corsa item is shorter as assumed. I'm mainly...

Hope you're not implying! :eek: Most threads here seem pretty clued up, so hopefully can just add to the bunch :D

Today, I swapped the front suspension and silver steelies from the old Micra to the new one. The weekend was more interesting (swapped the engine). Yesterday the least interesting - cutting the front exhaust section and cat from the old Micra, then cutting/drilling out the very seized bolts.

Hi all - me in a nutshell: Was resident electrical guru on some Ford forums, specialising in ECU modification, with similar interest in the Nissan ECU's. Owned 10 cars in all: Escort Mk5, 2x Escort Mk6, Fiesta Mk4, Sierra Saffire 2ltr, 2x R33 Skylines, Mondeo Mk3, Astra Mk4, Astra Mk5. First...

Yes, I know the springs do, but as you mention, the shocks play a roll where people have been lowering. How much shorter - would they still be ok? As i said, the info I found was likely contrary, but I wanted to know from people, like yourself, that have actually used them Thanks.

Hi all, I gather that some fit Corsa rear shocks to their Micras for lowering. However, from the limited info I can find, the Corsa shocks are apparently longer by 60mm. So it seems from first glance, that it wont be too short. If I kept the standard rear springs, would the Corsa shocks be a...

Just to chip-in, I did this to our Micra last year - the original battery gave up and I had a spare Diesel battery to hand. I cut the tray to allow a snug fit and made a new strap to hold it in though, but as it's not for ragging about (wifes car) it made zero difference to handling (non P/S, so...
