I've been told there is a 1600 Nisan engine which is smaller than teh normal 1600 engine, is same length as a 1300 and is a straight fit into the engine bay. (No cutting the chasis rail). In fact externally you can't see th edifference from the 1300. I was told by a gent that he got one out...

Does anyone have a speedodrive to fit a gearbox with a viscous diff. The standard drive doesn't fit, the gear in teh gearbox is offset. Thanks Mike

I'm looking for a speedometer drive for a gearbox with a Viscous differential, preferably a mechanical drive. I have changed the gerbox in my car from a standard box and the old drive doesn't mesh with the drive gear in the gearbox.

I've never had a problem with them slipping. But as a matter of course whenever I put a car on axle stands I give ait a good shove before going under it, just in case. My axle stands are not flat on top, they have quite a deep flat bottomed U shape if you see what I mean, similar to asdame's...

whatn I did was get a couple of pieces of wood just wide enough to fit the top of the axle stand, about 3 to 4 inches long and 2 to 3 inches thick. Along the length shape so it fits the bottom off the sill. Sounds posher than it is. Mine is just 2 saw cuts like a flat v. Across the bottom...

Check you have a stabalizal voltage on the oil pressure guage. If the voltage is above the expected, the guage will read high. I had the same problem on a water temp garage some gears ago. Not sure where you should tap into on a Micra

Frank - thanks. Mike

Does anyone know the thread of the oil pressure switch on a 13300cc Micra. Mine has failed so I Thought I would replace it with a high pressure one (more warning if anything does go wrong). But looking in Demon Tweekes catalogue they list them by pressure and thread. Alternativley a does...

Does anyone know if there was a gearbox with a VLSD in the UK. Just wnderedif it would be a cheaper alternative to a gripper diff. I remeber all the hype about Viscous LSDS's when they first appeared in rallying (yes I can remeber that far back - just) I seem to remember the article said the...

Where have all the competition bits gone? There have been loads of Micra Rally cars. I've got my rally car handling well, but the standard engine isn't up the job. The post 98 1.0 gearbox has improved things, but I need more. But like everyone in rallying there is a lack of funds. There have...

If you just want to get rid of the power steering,why not just take off the belt which drives the pump? That way if you don't notice the difference you can put it back on. You may also find the steering a bit heavy as power steering racks tend to be lower geared. Useful for the tightr stuff...

Anyone know what that would be in GBP & would it be worth the cost of shipping to the UK?

I don't know if it is the same in Aus as in the UK. I have found that when I have been routing battery cables through the car it is easier and cheaper to use the thick coppewr cable tey use on arc welders. In teh UK it is sold by the metre in welding shops. It comes in various thicknesses...

How about a close ratio gear set & LSD for my rally car (preferably for peanuts and delivered to the UK) Well you did ask and on my first event with my car we were woefully short of acceleration ;-)
