Not sure tbh, but I'm guessing there's at least 130kg worth of bits to be stripped out (assuming your stripping the dash as well). Stripped out a nissan sunny 1.4 and out accellerated a BMW 2.0.

Progress, engine is half dismantled. All inlet and exhaust is off, cam cover is off - only design flaw so far is Nissan using screw heads instead of bolt heads - had to buy a screw extractor set... Gearbox is off. Bit disturbed by the fact that the oil out the sump is more like thick black...

Greetings - happy new year... oh not yet. Seems a long time since I was last on here... Major progress has been made, engine/box is now out, suspension struts are off, ALL wiring has been removed - still have fuse box and the front wing relay boxes if anyone wants any spares, also bought the...

but if its on a seperate switch it should just keep pumping fuel. Obviously the trouble will be if it keeps pumping without any ignition... It run straight off the battery into the throttle body/carb until ignition and battery has been switched off...

One thing I forgot to mention my intention is to have a seperate switch for the fuel pump so the ECU would only control the fuel injection and running of the engine once started Ignition, fuel pump would be one switch: Ingtion "on" on would activate fuel pump at the same time. Engine start...

Cheers for the replies. I am going to state that I am not bothered by keeping lights, horns or heater modules. I am only after the controls/ecu for the engine to work only. Anything related to the dash itself im not keeping, as the dash will be non-existent. Basically, wiring for the ECU...

Not that I know of, the key I got is almost like a house key! got a bit of plastic around the keyring hold but thats it...

nats?... its a 1997 car. Not sure what reg it is as ours is different over here...

Following on from my micra for hillclimbing I have a slight problem as I have got to the ever dreaded electrical stage now... I have stripped the dash out fully as the replacement will be ally with a standalone starter switch/ignition button. I'm a bit unsure as to what wires I need to...

Managed a few hours on Wednesday, and managed to get the front right suspension off and hub etc, although i forgot to undo the driveshaft nut when the car was on the deck with working brakes so at the moment i still have it all connected with the driveshaft... oops... Aiming to have it all...

Progress is having to be halted for the moment due to medical bills and also having to replace the clutch in my daily driver so wont be doing much on the car until middle of summer, will try and do somethings here and there but wont be anything major...

The car is on axle stands with the intention of getting the exhaust system off but the grass is so bloody thick and long under the car i couldnt see what I was doing so just left it... lol

Few new photos - should have been added with my previous post BUT my mate took his time getting photos onto his computer.,.. You'll see what I mean about the front end ROT! That last one is just a random photo - nothing to do with us actually making progress on the car whatsoever...

Well an update, didn't get the sound deadening off although got the front bumper off and surrouinding bits - only to find out that most of the lower bracing is rotten as hell. Although a bit of 2x4 steel box section should be sufficient enough to repair it - just hope it's allowed but then...

You suggesting I put the car in a freezer for a bit... lol...

Yes it's going... Got my hammer and chisel at the ready... lol

Cheers, thats my mate in the photos-I was taking them and he got in the way... Done a fair bit more to it since then, front grill has come off, lights are off, battery etc are out, interior is slightly cleaned up - havent had much time to get to it lately so hopefully this weekend I'll be...

Got a feeling these may be a tad too big...

Thanks for that "frank" - very informative... Although was a little disapointed at the stock power of a 1.0... I thought it had at least 70 for some childish reason... Sounds like cheap power to me and with this car being gutted straight through only having a roll-cage, 1 seat and a small...

Hi everyone. Back posting now I ACTUALLY have a Micra... Now, the intention was to gut the car to the bare shell and fit a 2.0 in(Yes I've read the pros and cons and whats involved etc...) but due to a change of opinion and some regulations I've decided to keep it as a basic race car for use...
