Both the Redline and Motul recommend these gear oils for use in this type of transmission. Yom there is some sense that the thicker oil is "hiding" the problem in a way, but it does this by not thinning so much when heated up by a long drive. The gear shift is normal and because it is a 75/140...

It could be worth changing the gear oil to something like 75W140. I did this a while back and the result was excellent. I can recommend 2 oils worth using. Motul 75W140 or Redline 75W140NS. The downside is they are both expensive- can cost from $30-$45 per litre depending on where you...

If you are talking about the rear brake lights, then like Yom said try new globes, if this doesn't fix it use a test light and check the brake light switch located under the dash on the brake pedal. If this is faulty replace, if not it might be best to take your car to an auto sparky.

There is not excessive but adequate clearance on the power steering and waterpump pulleys (the power steering pulley has the least clearance). Yes the engine and box are fitted while bolted together and from the bottom. I have a reasonably well equipped workshop at home, with the engine/box on...

How much do you want for the power steering, either just the rack and hoses or the complete assembly?? I am interested in buying it.

that is strange that you had to remove the water pump on your sr 20 conversion. It must be because of how the engine is positioned. I to are building micra with an sr 20 from a gti-r coupled to a n15 fwd lsd gearbox and I managed to retain both the power steering and mechanical water pump, I...

what year/model is it?? '95,'96 or'97?, is an lx,slx,super s? manual,auto?, does it have air-con or power steering? Please advise I may be interested in parts depending on what model it is.

has anyone had any experience with electric water pumps?? Davies Craig preferably?? If so what is your opinion of their performance.

I live in perth too so propably travel similar roads. I have a super s with 16" wheels and usually get just over 600km to a tank. (fuel light usually comes on after 510-530km) The best economy I have ever gotten was 700km from 1 tank. These km figures I have quoted are from the...

I would also be intersted in getting another set of bubble lights to go in my other micra, I already have them in one and they cost me $320 new from nissan, $200 sounds much better to me. I don't know if they are available in japan, but I know the late taiwan K11 has has door mirrors with side...

Hi there i still have 2 micra manual steering racks for sale, complete with idler and belt. 1 is a super s, the other from an lx. If you are keen send a pm or contact me in business hours on 0413 313 477

it is a shame you didn't make it ti Hillarys, it would have been nice to meet up. I was there from 5.30 'til about 9 and you guys stood me up! Oh well **** happens, better luck next time

Yeah Tony, will have to sometime, will also get some progress pics of the GTI-R engine conversion in another micra I am building. Only recently/finally got a digital camera will post some pics soon.

Last monday I ordered a set of TRUST/Greddy wheel nuts, they're light weight and a nice grey/bronze (titanium) sought of colour. They should arrive this week. I have wanted to get them since I put the rays wheels on late last year. I have put it off for so long because they are so damn...

one problem I found with sourcing different steering wheels to suit the micra is that not only does the spline on the column need to be the same, but the indicator self cancelling nothches on the back of the wheel really need to be on the same side as the micra wheel or the self cancelling...

I have an engine out of a micra that I am fitting a SR20 into, it is in good condition. The person who sold me the car said it had been rebuilt about 50,000km ago. It ran quietly and smoothly for me returning about 600km per tank of fuel until I removed it to fit the SR. However the downside...

This electrician that advised you to run the extra cable wasn't by chance trying to sell you the cable were they??

very well said, couldn't have put it better myself.

Dave, was it your mini days that put you into a micra? (also 1275cc) Or was it something else? For me I think it was the mini's

gone are the good old days... quoting dave "No radar, breath testing etc. and only time you got booked was if the cop could catch you which was never" NEVER TRUER WORDS SPOKEN. We can only remember the good days- they are long gone. My first car was a mini 850, slow as hell ( managed to get...
