So after making a start on my new lines I thought it was about time this Micra had some front brakes so after some bust knuckles and fettling we have this Really please with how they look hopefully they stop as good as they look!

After having several issues with the haltech ECU wiring and it not being so "plug and play" I have the ECU powered up turns out it was designed for the pre facelift aus model so needed to repin my factory wiring I mounted the air temp sensor in the charge pipe and switched the ignition on to be...

Also made a start on the intercooler piping and mounted the cooler properly As expected hot side is going to be the most challenging to sort

Made a start on the brake lines to run to the rear disks. they need to run through a bias adjuster so I routed the lines in to the cabin I Slowly bent the pipe around a socket to give me a nice bend with out a kink and used my flaring tool to Finnish them

Cheers pal as helpful as ever mate ?

With all this new found time I have full cleaned rebuilt and painted my gti-r calipers and I'm really happy with how they are looking sorry Paul but I'm copying you on this one ?

Just arrived in the last 10 mins are my gtir front brake disks being a larger disk size and also being vented combined with a better caliper it should be stopping great when it's all together I have all the parts for my rear brake disk conversion which I mentioned in one of my videos...

So I have been quiet for a while as UK is in lockdown and I'm not able to travel to the Micra to work on it how ever I have been sourcing parts with all my free time so here is a little update

Decided I wanted to protect the engine as much as I could hearing all the talk of rods and ringlands going from knock and such I didn't really want to go down the route of a piggy back ECU as thy don't have much if anything in the way of protection so speaking to a few people I decided to opt...

It's a bit of a pain to pick a location for the return to sit as It sits inside the sump with the locking nut not flush as the welded type ones do if it doesn't work I'll eventually change to a welded type Making sure it didn't contact the internals or the dipstick tube was my main worry...

New parts always make me happy Time to ruin it with a drill Used a stepper bit to drill the correct size hole The oil return adapter I chose was a no weld type with a thread and a locking nut it came with some little rubber o rings that go on each side of the sealing surfaces however...

So today's task was to plumb the oil return I'll be honest trickier than I first thought The old sump was rather crusty no point in reusing it

Yes I have seen those unfortunately from what I've read they just wear components out and leave metal fragments everywhere

Looks like. Gonna end up with a open diff for good then plenty of one tyre fires I Imagen

Ah that's a shame I do want a lsd not keen on the idea of a plated diff so that would of been ideal in no rush as the car is a project it can last as long as needs be

This I would be very interested in for my turbo build of Speedo drive is available!

BC coilovers next on the list to fit can't wait to get these on car should stick to the road really well with some good tyres And with the rear brake disk conversion and my pulsar gtir front brakes we should be stopping as well as we're going ! Really can't wait to take this thing on track

Not as of yet my friend she has a rather long list of parts so far tho so hopin for decent drivability
