Problem with the OEM ones is that if they do seize, and I'm in the middle of nowhere without a oil filter wrench, I'm pretty screwed :p

What do you want for the front wishbones? Panhard rod? Thanks, M

Some quick advice... As you may be aware, I'm planning to drive the K11 10,000 miles across Europe and Asia (and then ship it back). It has just under 100k on the clock, and I'm worried about the timing chain... should I look at a preventive replacement, and if so, roughly what would the...

Does anyone know which K&N oil filter will fit the K11? Their site doesn't display one, but I'm reasonably confident that there will be something that fits (but may be longer than OEM, so not displayed). (Reason I ask for K&N is because they are wrench off filters, meaning I need to carry one...

Thanks - Monroe it is!

Splendid, thanks! As soon as I'm back in the UK I can start tinkering... currently travelling from work so lining up the proverbial ducks...

That little shelf was going to be my switch panel :p I guess I could tuck the relays in there... could I safely get a few 8AWG cables in and out? What does the bulkhead look like? I would rather not make any new holes... Part of me was hoping to fit the relays in the engine bay, and then run...

I need to hide a few 20A/30A relays in the K11 to power a set of roof lights, bull-bar lights, rear lights (see ta theme?) and side lights... maybe some horns as well... Any suggestions as to a good location to put these? I can get away with 3 relays at a crunch... M.

Thanks! The front KYBs are gas, the rear aren't... the gas KYB rear are another £100... This is turning out to be an expensive endeavor! M.

I'm fitting smaller wheels, but bigger tyres - 175/70/13 looks like the best contender at the moment (5mm bigger than stock R14 tyres). Partly because I want the reinforced sidewalls, partly because of the extra ride height... but mainly because they don't make off-road tyres to fit the micra...

Looking at new shocks for the K11... and have a few choices (all prices without springs... :s but for a pair): Front: Monroe: £120 KYB: £100 Sachs: £100 GH: £50 Rear: Bilsten: £40 KYB: £40 Monroe: £100 I've never heard of GH... does anyone have any experience? I'm tempted to fit the KYB's to...

I was thinking... Did Nissan do the usual "diesels have bigger springs" jobby on the K11? If so, are the 1.5d front struts uprated, and will they be a direct fit on a 1.0? Or do I just want the 1.5d springs, and fit them to 1.0 struts? M.

Thanks :) Ironic, the pics on flikr are for a mongol-rally prep; same as me! Need to find someone who can make me a sump guard, I don't have access to a mig welder anymore...

Thanks - not going down the spacer router, I did that on a W202 years ago through the Sahara and ended up badly... Much easier fitting larger wheels and keeping as much of the suspension at stock... I now have a set of extra 13" steelies, and a car that drives straight(ish) so will get...

Thanks Paul - got home safe! You'll be glad to know that I spoke to the chap from the second micra in the end... I have a clean blue micra now on the driveway, and this one's wheels are actually centered in the arches! :p M.

Works for me - consider them sold. I don't have much to do today, so if you wish can pop by in... uhmm... 2 hours or so (google says 1.5 hrs, plus time to put petrol in the car). Otherwise I can come by tomorrow, Friday, or next weekend? (maybe best move to PMs from this part forth) It'll also...

That's a wee bit far... but for the right price may be tempted. What are you after for them? I can return the tyres if you want them, I'm going to be fitting some off-road tyres to them :p (seriously) M.

Would love to see your sump guard and tank guards... I'm looking to buy/make a set for the mongol rally...

I'm after a set of 4 (or 5) 13" steelies for a K11. Ideally, someone near Uxbridge (West London) as I would prefer to collect...

Is this still for sale?
