Hi all :) how do I adjust the clutch cable on my K11 Super S? As it is the clutch pedal works fine, but I'd like it to bite a little bit higher. Thanks! :)

Almera airbox on it :)

Should be ok can't see anything that would cause concern in the pic. To be safe just put a bit of tape on the worst of them if you're concerned (duct tape got me through a bunch of MOT's when I lived in UK) :)

Now THAT's serious weight shed :O. Skateboard grip tape is your answer and you can get it already in red from leading board shops. For the doors, any flat material will do, I'd go with MDF or carbon fibre, depending on your budget. As it id I'd doubt it would pass an MOT as the door interiors...

::UPDATE:: Fixed the slightly leaky cooling system with a reconditioned water jacket from a breakers yard (Didn't pay anything for it :D). Next up, new C.V. Joint bellows and new belts :) Couple of JAP's get a bit of TLC :)

Solved this one all :D Turns out it was the water jacket on the front of the engine, where the heater hoses connects to the rad top hose. The metal water jacket itself had failed, complete with a nice big hole in the side, I was actually surprised she held any water at all. Got my hands on a...

pretty much exactly what I was planning, except the lowering. Maltese roads are far worse than UK ones and anything that agressive would mean I can't use her as a daily driver anymore. I've been thinking about a slight drop, around 15mm, but not sure what springs I can use to get that :/

Solved this one :) Its a faulty tentioner, getting the belts and tentioner replaced as soon as funds allow :)

Thanks again pollyp awesome :) will try and post how it turns out :)

Haha anyone who tries to get at me little Jap :p

The stuff is very similar to cillit bang, just make sure its safe on the paint :)

Hi all, I noteced a couple of threads advising different methods to remove the door strips. Just removed mine using this stuff and it works wonders :D It's really just an Italian household de-greaser (should be available in UK though, keep in mind i'm from Malta) but made the job really...

Looks good mate :D Ever thought of fitting HID's to the headlights? Would look awesome as long as you don't go overboard, something like 4300k HID's :)

Hi all :) As some of you may probably know by now, I'm restoring a K11 Super S that has been in storage for quite some time. I've just noticed another sound today (OH JOY!). When the engine is warmed up (1/2 on temp gauge) I get a noise coming from the area of the water pump. Its not very loud...

Okay so bit of an update . . . pads still scraping slightly but seem to be backing off, jacked up back of the car and spun the wheels, you can just hear them scraping but no drag is felt. Garage reckons they will free off on their own within a few miles. Disc surfaces aren't perfectly flat, but...

Seb thanks for the welcome :) Yes Micras are a fairly common sight in Malta, but only 3 Super S ever made it here. The car is in fact a 94 model, I have all 4 center caps at home, but haven't fitted them as EVERYTHING gets stolen in Malta. Planning on getting some new alloys and keeping the...

pollyp very helpful exactly the kind of post I needed! :) Going to try it myself and have a look at your blog THANKS :). P.S. no its not lowered, still the same as it left the factory, down to the original Nissan tape player XD

Hi all :) Thought I'd share my new project with you. Just bought a K11 Super S (1 of only 3 ever imported into Malta). She's been in dry storage for a while, so my project is to get the thing back onto the road first, then modify. For those who have never been to Malta, our roads are waaay...

Hi all :) I'v just got a K11 Super S that has been garaged for some time. Brakes are squeaking away as I drive, sounds as if the pads are scraping the discs very slightly. Also, handbrake needs adjusting as it comes up very high to hold the car. Anyone tell me how I can fix these? I'm still a...
