Yes mine is a coilpack too, I found the backlight power and main 12v power from the Haynes manual but wasn't sure about the RPM signal, so I searched it up and found this video: This lad explains it well but wires in an external switch for the backlight and thus doesn't use the R/W wire...

I bought a cheap tachometer from eBay a while back, but held off on installing it for a bit because I wasn't too confident diving into electrics so quickly. After doing the taillights though, it seemed like a walk in the park! So today I got that all wired up. First, I took the gauge cluster...

Hahaha don't worry I checked for traffic wardens beforehand [emoji6]

Quick update, got the front bumper all painted up yesterday ? Took the bumper off first of all. A total of 12 screws, talk about overengineering! Everything looks in good stead thankfully. Masked up and sanded down the bumper: Then 3 coats of Halfords black bumper paint: The paint job...

Thanks for the help mate, do you happen to know which car will have the connector to fit? Cause evidently it's not for a Micra lol, Haynes manual doesn't say either

Thank you mate! Just trying to do as much as I can for the time being and gain experience really ? By the way I love your Micra, sounds like a freaking Honda at 8 grand!! The vids are always a good watch Need to have a drag race soon ;)?

Hi all, I bought some clear side indicator units, they're the correct size and shape and fit inside the wing well, but the connector is totally different! This is the car's connector with the bulb: And this is the connector on the new unit: It looks like the new unit accepts a plug of some...

My thinking as well mate, cheers (y)

Never knew painting wheels would be such an ordeal, but all four are finally painted! The bloody weather was the main problem, rain, then wind, then both! The tarp worked, but I had no more cable ties to fix them to the fence. It's always something!! I have the worst luck ? But thankfully I...

Hi all, I'm wanting to get some 15x7 Rota Slipstreams for my motor in the future, and was just wondering which offset would suit the Micra best? The two options are ET28 and ET40, I was thinking ET28 cause I want a more macho look but would that stick out too far and look weird? Thanks in...

Thanks for the tips mate [emoji1303] I did them up pretty tight but I'll get rid of the paint round the nuts tomorrow

Right-o, time to get on with some painting! My plan today was to paint the current 14-inch steel wheels on the car white. However, I was on a time crunch due to my dad needing the drive after 3:30, and because I own only one 30-year-old jack and no jack stands, I only managed to get one wheel...

Thank you man, yeah I must admit I'm kind of a geek ? I've done 3d modelling for a while now, it's honestly not as difficult as it first seems and is very simple to begin with. Anyways I appreciate the compliment haha, love your project btw

You've tempted me too much now [emoji23] the sound system is fine at the moment but does lack oomph, I might have a look soon. While I was doing the tail lights I saw some seemingly superfluous wiring, some of which was probs for the parcel shelf like you said, I'll check that later

Cheers mate [emoji1305] yeah there is a little bit of rust on the sills but it's not horrible, if it gets worse I'll get it sorted before it becomes a real problem. Also I got my crimping set from Lidl, they really do have some bargains there haha

After fitting the tail lights, I wanted to connect both reverse lights and make them work together. So today that's what I did! With the lights wired up how they should be, only one reverse light comes on when reverse gear is engaged. This is fine as of course my Micra only came with one...

After a full day of messing around with these lights, they are finally on! The wiring was a total ball ache, but thankfully once the issues I had were resolved everything fell into place. First task was getting the old tail lights off. 3 x 10mm nuts hold them on. The glue is stringy and gets...

The tail lights have arrived! They have very little signs of wear and came wrapped up in Japanese newspaper (which for some reason I find super cool). I'm more than happy with them! (y) I'll try and get them cleaned up and rewired today, then potentially get them installed on the car tonight.

Hey everyone, new to the idea of a blog but thought I'd make one on here just to keep a complete record of my journey with my little Micra. I plan to do a lot to it in the future so it seemed fitting to start one. ? Introducing Kylie! She's my 2001 K11 S 1.0, finished in Lazuli Blue Metallic...

Wow they look awesome!! Thank you so much, that's a huge help (y) (y)
