Sorry to hear that about your little Micra, our numbers are getting a little thin, I too had a similar incident. Back in 97 I bought a brand new series 2 Super S, had it about a month, was sitting at the lights with nowhere to go and a whopping big Volvo 850 stationwagon complete with moron...

Sad to see another Micra moving on in life (especially a green one, I've always thought thats a great colour, though I'm probably biased in that area) but great news that you are going to keep her in the family, I'm sure you will be able to organise visiting prividges from time to time. Also...

Nope, not speculation,they seemed definate on both vehicles, I agree with you too Yom/Tom, Nissan could have another sales disaster on their hands, especially if they get the pricing wrong again. My 1996/7 SLX was over $23000 new while the Hyundai Excel's, Ford Festiva's and Holden Barina's...

Just saw a tiny snippet on Friday in Sydney's Daily Telegraph that the Micra is to make a long awaited return to Austalia in November this year along with something called a "Quashqai"!! What the hell is that?? Would like to see the "Cube" out here, that was a cool looking car.

I too am running these little Michelins on standard rims. I agree, excellent wet weather grip,so far nearly 60,000 km and still some life left in them yet! Over the years I have also run a selection of tyres including Dunlop and Bridgestones, not bad but not up to the standard of the Michelins.

I have just seen a 1995 Auto Micra SLX on Ebay at a starting bid of $1200. The vehicle is located in Moss Vale NSW. the odometer reading is 326000kms! Just curious, are there many Micra owners out there with a higher mileage than this? My 1996 SLX manual is just pushing 155000kms, Luckily no...

I had exactly the same problem, I agree with Sparcolite, nothing to do with the wiper motor or stalk, definately the control box. I also could not locate a new control box at the time, so I removed the existing one, I noticed tiny breaks in the solder lines. I resoldered over these breaks...

Thanks for that Makes, I appreciate your response to my question, I guess I will also end up with level pedals when new clutch time eventually comes around.....(hopefully not too soon!) Regards Henry

Hi Guys Something I have been meaning to ask for a long time, I've noticed on my Micra (manual slx series 2)that the clutch pedal sits higher than the brake pedal. The car has never had a new clutch installed (148,000km and still going strong!) though i did replace the clutch cabble about a...

G'day Gary, Congratulations on your wise new purchase. Unfortunately I dont think central locking came standard on the 2 door LX,I think it was only a standard feature on the 96/97 SLX which was a 5 door. Regards Henry

Well,the strongest rumour yet that the mighty Micra is making a well overdue return to our shores. Big aricle in Sydney's Telegraph this morning.Micra's are to be sourced from Japan instead of UK, better exchange rate etc. Personally I prefer the shape of the good old K11 but I could be slightly...

Congratulations Sean, she looks immaculate! and such a great color to boot! Henry

Thanks guys, then Mobil one it shall continue to be!

Yep, thats right the super s had the standard sunroof and other goodies like ABS disc brakes. Pretty sure its a manual then, the super s was the upmarket sports model, same 1.3 motor though, definately worth a look.

Hi again Michelle Did u say earlier that it was an auto? If it is I'm pretty sure its not a Super S, It would have to be an SLX 5 door as I'm sure the Super S did not come out in an auto.

Hi! Check for oil usage, excessive smoke from the exhaust (blue smoke is bad) and timing chain rattle, service records and reciepts are very important when the mileage is that high so you can see how much work has actually been done and how long ago. The price seems a bit on the high side for...

Point taken, incidently congratulations in the purchase of your beautiful series 2 Super S! I have been watching you search in vain for many months, I am glad you hung out for the perfect Super S.I had a forest green Series 2 Super S from new, I loved that car,unfortunately a Volvo 850 wagon...

Thanks for that Mychael, I have been using Mobil 1 for a while, I think I'll give the Magnatec a go next oil change.

You have definately made the right decision,i was forced to get rid of my earlier Micra as I was given company cars at a new job. These were brand new cars supposedly far superior to my little Micra. This was not the case, I soon became bored with driving them and yearned for zippy...

great work Cisco!, fantastic to have that o/s coverage, that is definately my bald head in the last photo, would be great to have another meet in the Canberra/Sydney vicinity at some stage.
