In any way you look at it re - upholstery is expensive and leather more so. Hides range in quality and therefore price by a huge margin. Before embarcing on such an expenive project its impirtant to evaluate the reason fir choosing a leather re-trim in the first place and if the cost to benefit...

Oh dear. Now that really is a traffic build up. In my simple view of what a traffic build up is was actually having to slow down to 50kph for a few short minutes Sent from my GT-P5210 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

The route from Wellington to Auckland that includes a dash through Pirongia would leave tourists a bit sleepy out of tedium unless a ride through endless bucolic scenerey is what you like. The beauty of this route is that it by-passes most of State Highway One and the traffic build ups in and...

I agree. The Figaro has that interesting "retro" look about it. There is also, like you say, a collector interest in these cars. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Yes, they are impressive for sure. But, I cant really get a liking for any of them. I think I may have seen a white one of these and a friend has only just reminded me of this event when in January last year and on our way to the Hampton Downs Festival of Speed spotted what we thought was a...

1998 MITSUOKA VIEWT 1.0 AUTO K11 NISSAN MICRA/FIGARO/JAG MARK 2 REPLICA 3 DR HB I found this car on eBay UK while searching for a tow eye for my K11 March. Here is the link to the eBay listing...

Same with my K11 just the other day. Stuffed battery. An easy, but not nessesarily a cheap fix. I tested out the battery in my car by using jumper cables from another car. Sent from my GT-P5210 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Oh, I see. Sure makes sense world wide. Truthfully though, it still kinda made sense to me with the UK having what, over 60 Million people? Cheers Bruce

I came to the micra.com.au site after it closed, but the site's contents is still accessible and the forums and tech pages continue to give good tips for maintainance and how to do upgrades. Just no more interaction since October 2016. The motor industry here was one of the most duplicitous in...

Yes, indeed, that makes sense, I haven't seen the car yet, but I have ordered the parcel tray from the car. I am also hoping that I can half-hitch the O/D switch - mine won't click in and out when it is pushed - it needs to be held in manually. I took one from a JDM, 1995 Pulsar at another yard...

This here is the K11 March referred to in the last post. This is described in the auction listing as a 1997 car.

Many thanks for this interesting information - I appreciate it. In the reference relating to UK Micra production ending I immediately thought. where will UK buyers get their new Micra's? Possibilities include from Nissan Japan, or perhaps nowhere at all with the likelihood seeming to be the Duke...

This is just idle curiosity really, but I have seen the name, Collett used when referring to a Nissan March. Being an unrepentant busy body and nosy Parker I though that perhaps I could get an answer here. I guess it's a sub-model of some kind, but a google search doesn't reveal much detail...

Thank you LiamC. 15s eh! I've just sold a set of 15" alloys from my Ford Falcon. They looked small on that, but may have made the wee March look a bit like a Bigfoot Super Truck wannabe;) Probably looking cool though none-the-less. Cheers Bruce.

1275 & LiamC: Many thanks for your help with this. 14" it is then. Cheers Bruce

The Micra/March "Luxury" Bolero verion K11 was offered with leather seats. I have seen only cream colour leather. Many of them had faux wood appointments and white instruments with a tachometer if you find a Bolero and want to go the whole luxury conversion route. Sent from my GT-P5210 using...

I'm pleased for you that this event that seemed to be so hopeless a few weeks ago has worked out fine in the end. Good hunting. Out there somewhere is the SR you are looking for and as they used to say in old TV ads, "accept no substitutes". Sent from my GT-P5210 using Micra Sports Club mobile app
